Open AccessCatabolism and interactions of uncultured organisms shaped by eco-thermodynamics in methanogenic bioprocesses
Current understanding of the carbon cycle in methanogenic environments involves trophic interactions such as interspecies H2 transfer between organotrophs and methanogens. However, many metabolic processes are th...

Open AccessUsing DNA-based stable isotope probing to reveal novel propionate- and acetate-oxidizing bacteria in propionate-fed mesophilic anaerobic chemostats
Propionate is one of the most important intermediates of anaerobic fermentation. Its oxidation performed by syntrophic propionate-oxidizing bacteria coupled with hydrogenotrophic methanogens is considered to b...

Open AccessEvaluating digestion efficiency in full-scale anaerobic digesters by identifying active microbial populations through the lens of microbial activity
Anaerobic digestion is a common technology to biologically stabilize wasted solids produced in municipal wastewater treatment. Its efficiency is usually evaluated by calculating the reduction in volatile solid...
