  1. 1. Methanobacterium cauma sp. nov., a hydrogenotrophic, halotolerant methanogen from an active serpintinization system at Chimaera seep

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Aubree Stephens; [2023]
    Keywords : methanogen; archaea; hydrogenotroph; halotolerant; Methanobacterium; Chimaera seep; methanogenesis;

    Abstract : The archaeal branch of life represents some of the oldest life forms on Earth. Archaea are believed to have diverged from Prokaryotes roughly 3.5 billion years ago and it’s theorized that biological methane production started around this time as well. This would make methanogenesis one of the oldest metabolisms on our planet. READ MORE

  3. 2. Fodertillsatsen Bovaer® som metaninhibitor till mjölkkor. Med den aktiva substansen 3-nitrooxypropanol

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Vanessa Brodin; [2023]
    Keywords : mjölkko; metan; minska; reducera; 3-NOP; 3-nitrooxypropanol; mjölkkvalitet; mjölkavkastning;

    Abstract : Att minska metanutsläppen från världens mjölkkor ger möjligheten att minska jordbrukets klimatpåverkan. Kornas metanutsläpp från fodersmältningen ger en kraftigare värmande effekt på atmosfären än vad koldioxid gör då metan är ca 32 gånger så kraftfull. Eftersom metan är en kortlivad gas kan minskning av den visa snabba resultat. READ MORE

  4. 3. Anaerobic Co-digestion of steam pretreated wheat straw and sewage sludge

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

    Author : Virginia Tosi; [2021]
    Keywords : Anaerobic co-digestion; wheat straw pretreatment; nutrients availability; OLR; VFA acumulation; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Anaerobic digestion (AD) of wastes and residues is a widely applied and explored process. However, when the process is not optimized, inadequate concentrations of nutrients and inhibitory compounds are common and can lead to low maximum organic loading rates and increased risk of process problems, low organic dry solids degradation rate and reduced methane yields.

  5. 4. Search for Preserved Methanogenic Organisms in Ophiolitic Rocks through Lipid Biomarker Analysis – Implications for Astrobiological Explorations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Alexandra Zetterlind; [2020]
    Keywords : ophiolite; deep biosphere; archaea; methanogenesis; chemosynthesis; serpentinite-hosted ecosystems; lipid biomarkers; astrobiology; ofiolit; djupbiosfär; arkeér; metanogener; kemosyntes; serpentinit-drivna ekosystem; lipidbiomarkörer; astrobiologi;

    Abstract : Serpentinization is a metamorphic low-temperature geological process, involving a series of chemical reactions that hydrate ultramafic rocks into serpentines and other minerals such as magnetite and brucite. Moreover, the process produces heavily reducing and highly alkaline fluids together with molecular hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4), which have the capacity to support chemosynthetic microbial life.

  6. 5. Gas Emissions from Contaminated Fibrous Sediments in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Fredrik Collin; [2020]
    Keywords : Fiberbank; fibrous sediment; gas ebullition; GHG emissions; methanogenesis; optical ebullition sensor; Fiberbank; fibersediment; gas ebullition; växthusgas emissioner; metanogenes; optiska ebullitions sensore;

    Abstract : Gas Emissions from Contaminated Fibrous Sediments in Sweden The discharge of untreated wastewater from pulp and paper mills have resulted in the accumulation offibrous sediments on the bottom of many nearby aquatic recipients. Some accumulations are multiplemeters thick and consist almost entirely of cellulose fibre or wood chips; these are called fiberbanks. READ MORE
