TL;DR: The cathodic recovery of copper compared to the produced electricity was 84% (anaerobic) and 43% (aerobic); the metallurgy MFC with the Cu(2+) reducing cathode further enlarges the application range of MFCs.

TL;DR: Strain TMOT was able to degrade methanol to CO2 and H2 in syntrophic culture with Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus AH or Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii and is related to Thermotoga subterranea andThermotoga elfii.

TL;DR: In environments where the amount of electron acceptors is insufficient for complete breakdown of organic matter, methane is formed as the major reduced end product and acetate-reducing bacteria grow much faster on propionate and butyrate than syntrophic consortia.

TL;DR: Sulfate reduction outcompeted methanogenesis at 65 degrees C and pH 7.5 in methanol and sulfate-fed expanded granular sludge bed reactors operated at hydraulic retention times (HRT) and indicated that the former substrate probably acts as the main electron donor for the methanogens during meethanol degradation.

TL;DR: Results show that P. cepacia can stably and continuously degrade toluene and TCE simultaneously in a single-reactor system without biomass retention and that the organism is more resistant to high concentrations and shock loadings of TCE than Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b.
