  1. 1. Solid-state fermentation of the microalgae Scenedesmus sp. for improved conservation and protein digestibility

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : André Nordin Fürdös; [2023]
    Keywords : microalgae; scenedesmus; solid-state fermentation; lactic acid fermentation; algae; feed; ensiling; silage; protein digestibility; PDCAAS; alternative protein; plantarum; ninhydrin; conservation; biotechnology; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : As part of a research grant aimed at producing chicken feed from the novel microalgae Scenedesmus sp., called the ReMAPP project, this thesis investigates opportunities to increase the conservation potential and protein digestibility utilizing solid-state lactic acid fermentation and commercial enzyme additives.

  3. 2. Anaerobic Co-digestion of Digestate with Glycerol to enhance Biogas Production

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema

    Author : Prince Kwarteng Adiyia; [2021]
    Keywords : Biogas; Anaerobic Digestion; Digestate; Glycerol;

    Abstract : The Brazilian sugarcane and ethanol industries produce lot of waste which has potential for energy production. Anaerobic digestion (AD) can be effectively utilized for producing biogas from these wastes. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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 biologi

    Author : Sofia Moberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Syntrophic acetate oxidation; syntrophic acetate oxidizing bacteria; Wood-Ljungdahl pathway;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. Effect of biofilm thickness and carrier type on the performance of anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactors (AnMBBRs)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Astrid Hermansson; [2020]
    Keywords : Anaerobic; wastewater treatment; AnMBBR; MBBR; biofilm thickness; carrier; organic removal; water engineering; environmental engineering; avloppsteknik; vattenförsörjningsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (AnMBBR) is a wastewater treatment process that has shown effective for the treatment of industrial wastewaters. As the AnMBBR is a biofilm process, nutrients, products, etc. must be transported through the biofilm. The thickness of the biofilm may, therefore, impact the process. READ MORE

  6. 5. Considerations for the Establishment of an Anaerobic Biofilm in an AnMBBR

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Emma Månsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Anaerobic; MBBR; biofilm; carrier; methane; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Behandling av avloppsvatten för att avlägsna ämnen som kan ha en negativ påverkan på den mänskliga hälsan och naturen är mycket viktigt innan vattnet återanvänds eller släpps ut i naturen. Intresset för anaerob vattenrening har ökat eftersom det är ett bra komplement till aeroba processer, samt för att det producerar energi i form av metangas. READ MORE
