Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of micro-aeration on the phylogenetic diversity of microorganisms in a thermophilic anaerobic municipal solid-waste digester.
TL;DR: Comparing the microbial communities in a thermophilic MSW digester without aeration and with micro-aeration revealed that microorganisms belonging to the domain Bacteria dominated in the digester both without aerations and withmicro-aerations, and bacteria affiliated with the phylum Firmicutes were dominant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Ni2+ and Co2+ on methanogenic activity and the amounts of coenzymes involved in methanogenesis
Kenji Kida,Toru Shigematsu,Junji Kijima,Masami Numaguchi,Yoshitaka Mochinaga,Naoki Abe,Shigeru Morimura +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that Ni2+ and Co2+ were required for the methane-producing reactions via increases of coenzymes F430 and corrinoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial community analysis of mesophilic anaerobic protein degradation process using bovine serum albumin (BSA)-fed continuous cultivation
TL;DR: Two mesophilic anaerobic chemostats were supplied with synthetic wastewater containing bovine serum albumin as the sole carbon and energy source in order to study the capacity of protein degradation, microbial community structure and the effects of the addition of trace metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burkholderia kururiensis sp. nov., a trichloroethylene (TCE)-degrading bacterium isolated from an aquifer polluted with TCE
Hui Zhang,Satoshi Hanada,Toru Shigematsu,Katsutoshi Shibuya,Yoichi Kamagata,Takahiro Kanagawa,Ryuichiro Kurane +6 more
TL;DR: A phylogenetic study based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain KP23T should be placed in the genus Burkholderia, a Gram-negative, oval-shaped micro-organism isolated from an aquifer sample collected at a TCE-polluted site in Japan by enriching with phenol as sole carbon source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delftia tsuruhatensis sp. nov., a terephthalate-assimilating bacterium isolated from activated sludge
TL;DR: Comparisons of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics with other known species belonging to the genusDelftia suggest that strain T7(T) represents a novel species, for which the name Delftia tsuruhatensis sp.
