1. Evolutionary History of Nickel-Dependent Enzymes : Implications for the Origins of Life.
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/PaleobiologiAbstract : Nickel enzymes have been suggested, through numerous phylogenetic studies, to have been among the very first catalytic compounds on the early Earth, possibly present in the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) or prior to the onset of life. This is because of the type of reactions catalyzed by some of these enzymes, the nature of organisms that utilize them, their distribution in the tree of life, and their key roles in what is now thought of as possibly one of the oldest carbon fixation pathways, the Wood-Ljungdahl (WL) pathway.

2. Investigating the methane producing pathway in lab-scale biogas reactors subjected to sequential increase of ammonium and daily acetate-pulsing
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiAbstract : Syntrophic acetate oxidizing bacteria convert acetate into hydrogen and carbon dioxide and through the mutualistic syntrophic partnership with methanogens the products are further converted to methane in biogas processes operating at high ammonia concentrations. There is very little known about SAOBs, only five have been characterized and had their genome analyzed. READ MORE

3. The effects of trace elements on the microbial communities of thermophilic biogas production
University essay from SLU/Dept. of MicrobiologyAbstract : The increasing need for alternatives to fossil fuels and traditional waste management systems can be simultaneously addressed by the production of biogas using organic waste as input material. The biogas produced can be used directly for energy production or upgraded to increase methane purity for use in the engines of motor vehicles. READ MORE
