  1. 1. Biokinetic Characterization of Methane Oxidizing Microbiomes Co-metabolizing Trace Organic Chemicals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Hugo Möller; [2024]
    Keywords : Methanotrophs; organic micropollutants; co-metabolism; biodegradation; applied microbiology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants.

  3. 2. Anaerobic degradation of volatile fatty acids in continuous biogas reactors at very short hydraulic retention times.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Anna Lea Auguste Weimer; [2019]
    Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; hydraulic retention time; organic loading rate; biogas; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is an increasing demand for safe, affordable and above allsustainable energy, due to the exhaustion of fossil fuels and increasing greenhousegas emissions. In this context, anaerobic digestion is of growing interest, as it enablesthe production of the versatile renewable energy source biogas from various types oforganic wastes. READ MORE

  4. 3. Transcriptomic profiling of marine bacteria between development and senescence phases of a phytoplankton bloom

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Dennis Amnebrink; [2018]
    Keywords : Transcriptomics; bacteria; microbes; DOM; marine environment; bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Bacterioplankton provide important ecosystem functions by carrying out biogeochemical cycling of organic matter. Playing an important role in the microbial loop they help remineralize carbon and nutrients. Bacteria also interact with phytoplankton during phytoplankton blooms. READ MORE

  5. 4. Macroalgae as feed supplement for reduction of methane emission in livestock : Overview of current knowledge and potential Nordic species

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Hanna Silwer; [2018]
    Keywords : Asparagopsis taxiformis; bromoform; climate change; dairy industry; microbial ecosystem; secondary metabolites;

    Abstract : Climate change is a fact and production systems are in need of modernization and sustainable development. Methane is a problematic and potent greenhouse gas and is emitted as a natural byproduct from livestock metabolism. READ MORE

  6. 5. Co-occurence and co-metabolism of phototrophic and heterotrophic microbial communities in the Baltic Sea

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Cátia Ifigénia Corujo Chaves; [2017]
    Keywords : microbiology; extracelullar enzymatic activity; amplicon sequencing; 16S and 18S sequencing;

    Abstract : In the marine water column, microbial autotrophs and heterotrophs coexist forming the beginning of the food chain which sustains the whole biological system. Both groups play a vital role in the microbial loop. READ MORE
