  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. Isolation of an ammonia-tolerant syntrophic butyrate-oxidizing bacterium originating from a thermophilic biogas digester

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Malin Tiefensee; [2023]
    Keywords : thermophilic; ammonia-tolerant; syntrophic butyrate-oxidizing bacterium;

    Abstract : Syntrophic relationships between fatty acid degrading bacteria and hydrogenotrophic methanogens are important for a well-functioning anaerobic degradation process during biogas production from organic waste material. This is particularly important in biogas processes fed protein-rich material as their degradation gives rise to high levels of ammonia, which inhibits many microorganisms. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optimization of a two-step anaerobic treatment of wastewater from the Pulp and Paper Industry

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Sara Bard; [2022]
    Keywords : Wastewater treatment; biogas; methane; pulp and paper mill wastewater; wood raw material; anaerobic treatment; sulphate reduction; UAPB reactor; Vattenrening; biogas; metan; processvatten från pappers- och massaindustrin; träråvara; anaerob rening; sulfatreduktion; UAPB reaktor;

    Abstract : Under de senaste 30 åren så har antalet massa- och pappersbruk minskat medan den totala produktionen av massa och papper har ökat. En högre produktion per bruk tillsammans med en hårdare miljölagstiftning, sätter ett högre tryck på vattenreningen på varje bruk. READ MORE

  5. 4. Stabilizing biogas processes at high ammonia : effects of acetate pulse-feeding on the microbial population

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Oscar Dolk; [2020]
    Keywords : biogas; anaerobic digestion; ammonia inhibition; acetate enrichment;

    Abstract : This study investigated the problem of ammonia inhibition in biogas reactors, commonly occurring when protein rich substrates are used in anaerobic digestion processes. Ammonia inhibition is one of the foremost causes of failure in anaerobic digestion, leading to process instability, with symptoms commonly expressed as; reduction in biogas produced, decreased methane content in the gas and accumulation of volatile fatty acids.

  6. 5. 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
