Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of a thermophilic benzoate-degrading, sulfate-reducing bacterium, Desulfotomaculum thermobenzoicum sp. nov.
TL;DR: A new thermophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain TSB, that was spore-forming, rod-shaped, slightly motile and gram-positive, was isolated from a butyrate-containing enrichment culture inoculated with sludge of a thermophobic methane fermentation reactor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methane production using a bio-reactor packed with pumice stone on an evaporator condensate of a kraft pulp mill
TL;DR: In this article, the efficiency of a bio-reactor using pumice stone was studied, and the cell density of the PUMICE was 18-19 g per liter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acetogenesis from pyruvate by Desulfotomaculum thermobenzoicum and differences in pyruvate metabolism among three sulfate-reducing bacteria in the absence of sulfate
TL;DR: The results indicate that the fermentation pattern of pyruvate depends on the metabolic characteristics of each sulfate-reducing bacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of methoxylated benzoates and formation of intermediates by Desulfotomaculum thermobenzoicum in the presence or absence of sulfate.
TL;DR: Findings indicate that 4-methoxyl-group is most readily cleaved, whereas 2,6-dimethoxybenzoate is not utilized by the organism.
Journal ArticleDOI
