Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic methanethiol degradation in upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactors at high salinity (> 0.5 M Na+)
Robin C. van Leerdam,Frank A. M. de Bok,Piet N.L. Lens,Alfons J. M. Stams,Albert J.H. Janssen +4 more
TL;DR: The feasibility of anaerobic methanethiol degradation at elevated sodium concentrations was investigated in a mesophilic (30°C) lab‐scale upflow anaerobe sludge bed (UASB) reactor, inoculated with estuarine sediment originating from the Wadden Sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lachnotalea glycerini gen. nov., sp. nov., an anaerobe isolated from a nanofiltration unit treating anoxic groundwater.
Monika Jarzembowska,Diana Z. Sousa,Florian Beyer,Arie Zwijnenburg,Caroline M. Plugge,Alfons J. M. Stams +5 more
TL;DR: Physiological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain DLD10T is a representative of a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Lachnotalea glycerini gen. nov., sp.
Book ChapterDOI
Occurrence and Function of the Acetyl-CoA Cleavage Pathway in a Syntrophic Propionate-Oxidizing Bacterium
TL;DR: During the degradation of complex organic matter about two-thirds of the methane is formed by the cleavage of acetate, whereas the remainder is form by the reduction of CO2 with H2, and acetate and hydrogen are the most important substrates for methanogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
H2 enrichment from synthesis gas by Desulfotomaculum carboxydivorans for potential applications in synthesis gas purification and biodesulfurization.
Jan Sipma,Jan Sipma,M. Begoña Osuna,M. Begoña Osuna,Sofiya N. Parshina,Gatze Lettinga,Alfons J. M. Stams,Piet N.L. Lens +7 more
TL;DR: As D. carboxydivorans is capable of hydrogenotrophic sulfate reduction at partial CO pressures exceeding 100 kPa, it is a good candidate for biodesulfurization processes using synthesis gas as electron donor at elevated temperatures, e.g., in biological flue gas desulfurizing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benzaldehyde conversion by two anaerobic bacteria isolated from an upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactor
Sofiya N. Parshina,Robbert Kleerebezem,E van Kempen,Alla N. Nozhevnikova,Gatze Lettinga,Alfons J. M. Stams +5 more
TL;DR: A benzaldehyde-degrading enrichment culture was obtained from mesophilic methanogenic granular sludge from a UASB (upflow anaerobic sludge bed) reactor treating potato starch wastewater as discussed by the authors.
