Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of nutritional and operational parameters on the production of butanol or 1,3-propanediol from glycerol by a mutant Clostridium pasteurianum.
TL;DR: It was found that N2 sparging is a suitable strategy to maximize the titer, yield and productivity of 1,3-PDO using C. pasteurianum.
Book ChapterDOI
Syntrophic Degradation of Fatty Acids by Methanogenic Communities
Alfons J. M. Stams,Alfons J. M. Stams,Petra Worm,Diana Z. Sousa,Diana Z. Sousa,M. Madalena Alves,Caroline M. Plugge +6 more
TL;DR: This chapter describes the general features of syntrophic degradation in methanogenic environments and the properties of the microorganisms involved.
Journal ArticleDOI

S. G. Barbosa,L. Peixoto,Olívia S. G. P. Soares,Manuel Fernando R. Pereira,Annemiek ter Heijne,Philipp Kuntke,M. Madalena Alves,Maria Alcina Pereira +7 more
TL;DR: Anode performance of Microbial Electrolysis Cells (MECs) fed with urine using different anodes, Keynol (phenolic-based), C-Tex (cellulose-based) and PAN (polyacrylonitrile) was compared under cell potential control (1st assay) and anode potential control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced monitoring of high-rate anaerobic reactors through quantitative image analysis of granular sludge and multivariate statistical analysis
TL;DR: The high loadings raised by image analysis parameters, especially filaments length per aggregates area (LfA), revealed that morphological changes of granular sludge, should be considered to monitor and control load disturbances in high rate anaerobic (granular) sludge bed digesters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staged and non‐staged anaerobic filters: Microbial activity segregation, hydrodynamic behaviour and performance
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study of staged and non-staged anaerobic-lters for treating a synthetic dairy waste under similar operating conditions was performed with respect to overall reactor performance, biogas production, volatile fatty acids along the height, methanogenic and acidogenic activity distribution, and hydrodynamic behaviour.
