Essential prerequisites for successful bioprocess development of biological CH4 production from CO2 and H2

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current state of the art of bioprocess development for biological CH4 production (BMP) from pure cultures with pure gasses and stresses the importance of holistic BMP quantification by the application of well-defined physiological parameters.

Thermophilic anaerobic wastewater treatment : temperature aspects and process stability

J.B. van Lier
TL;DR: The temperature sensitivity of the various types of thermophilic anaerobic sludge depends strongly on the process conditions applied, such as temperature and reactor type, and Thermophilic sludge cultivated in high-rate reactors with high solids retention shows a high thermostability.

Thermophilic sulphate and sulphite reduction in lab‐scale gas‐lift reactors using H2 and CO2 as energy and carbon source

TL;DR: Results of the experiments clearly demonstrate that sulphate conversion rates up to 7.5 g SO(4) (2-)/L per day can be achieved and a strong competition for hydrogen between hydrogenotrophic sulphate-reducers, tentatively designated as Desulfotomaculum sp.

A Novel Approach to Enhance Crude Oil Recovery Ratio Using Selected Bacterial Species

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the mechanisms responsible for the enhancement of oil recovery using fractured dolomite core models and determined the optimum biotransformation values of Libyan Bouri crude oil were determined as 77.1, 61.2, and 61.1% using the Bacillus sp, P. putida, and Nocardia cyriacigeorgica, respectively.

A procedure for the isolation of deoxyribonucleic acid from micro-organisms

TL;DR: A method has been described for the isolation of DNA from micro-organisms which yields stable, biologically active, highly polymerized preparations relatively free from protein and RNA, and Representative samples have been characterized for their thermal stability and sedimentation behaviour.

Methanogens: reevaluation of a unique biological group.

TL;DR: The present study focuses on the development and outline of a new treatment based on 16-year-old ribonucleic acid, as well as evidence in support of the new taxonomic treatment.

A roll tube method for cultivation of strict anaerobes

TL;DR: The anaerobes can be classified as oxyduric, i.e. surviving exposure to O2 but not growing in its presence, and oxylabile Species, killed by exposure to oxygen.

The Roll-Tube Method for Cultivation of Strict Anaerobes

Reexamination of the Association Between Melting Point, Buoyant Density, and Chemical Base Composition of Deoxyribonucleic Acid

J. De Ley
TL;DR: In this paper, the base composition of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was calculated by regression and correlation analysis and treated statistically by using only sets of data on DNA determined with the same strains.
