Journal ArticleDOI
Energetic and rate effects on methanogenesis of ethanol and propionate in perturbed CSTRs.
Daniel P. Smith,Perry L. McCarty +1 more
TL;DR: Energetic and reaction‐rate interactions between hydrogenic and hydrogenotrophic bacteria were investigated in five perturbation experiments performed on steady‐state, mixed‐culture methanogenic CSTRs receiving ethanol, propionate, or both hydrogenic substrates, and reduced product formation may have been a sink for reducing equivalents, as an alternative to oxidation for Propionate utilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced product formation following perturbation of ethanol- and propionate-fed methanogenic CSTRs.
Daniel P. Smith,Perry L. McCarty +1 more
TL;DR: N‐Propanol was found to be produced from propionate in a coupled ethanol oxidation/propionate reduction reaction, mediated by ethanol‐oxidizing organisms during high rates of ethanol utilization and elevated P H 2 .
Journal Article
Factors governing methane fluctuations following shock loading of digesters.
Daniel P. Smith,Perry L. McCarty +1 more
TL;DR: A non-steady-state energetic/kinetic model was developed to predict methane production, organic substrate and product concentrations, hydrogen partial pressure, and bacterial mass concentrations in a methanogenic continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) receiving ethanol and propionate as organic sub strates for growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox control bioreactor: A unique biological water processor

TL;DR: Physiological and molecular analysis ofBiofilms confirmed that structurally and functionally distinct biofilms developed on adjacent, juxtaposed fibers, and excess H2 interfered with nitrification.
