TLDR
The controlled rate of cellulose hydrolysis, levels of volatile acids, and steady-state levels of soluble carbohydrates and reducing sugars observed during active methanogenesis are indicative of interactive metabolic regulations.Abstract:
Biomethanation of leaves of the legumeL. leucocephala operated in batch reactors at different input volatile solids (12–18 g/L) proceeded in distinct metabolic phases. An initial cellulolytic phase of 4 d was followed by an early and active methanogenic phases (5–21 d) and a terminal phase of low-rate methanogenesis. Hydrolysis of cellulose was concentration-dependent and resulted in increased volatile acid levels. The trend of changes showed some variations at different input volatile solids. The changes in the levels of volatile acids followed an oscillatory pattern. The controlled rate of cellulose hydrolysis, levels of volatile acids, and steady-state levels of soluble carbohydrates and reducing sugars observed during active methanogenesis are indicative of interactive metabolic regulations.read more

TL;DR: Heat, moisture, chemical treatments, ensiling, rotation feeding, cutting management of the plant, new hybrids, introducing micro-organisms into the rumen of ruminants that are unable to detoxify mimosine, and preparing protein isolate from Leucaena seeds have all been used to overcome Mimosine toxicity.

Kinetics of biomethanation of solid tannery waste and the concept of interactive metabolic control.
TL;DR: The concept of interactive metabolic control earlier proposed has been validated based on the levels of various metabolites detected and the overall decrease in volatile solid level was 65%, whereas the collagen level declined by 85%.

Metabolic characteristics of an aerobe isolated from a methylotrophic methanogenic enrichment culture.
TL;DR: The results suggest that utilization of methanol by the mixed culture would involve metabolic interactions between the Pseudomonas sp.

Methanogenesis mediated by methylotrophic mixed culture
TL;DR: Enrichment of methanogenic cultures on methanol from the microbial population in the anaerobic digesters operated on agricultural wastes revealed a high rate of biomethanation efficiency and signify metabolic partnerships in the methylotrophic biochemical mechanisms operative toward energy recovery.
