Methane is the final product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The
conversion of organic matter to methane (methanogenesis) as a mechanism for energy …

Methane is an abundant gas used in energy recovery systems, heating, and transport.
Methanotrophs are bacteria capable of using methane as their sole carbon source. Although …

Background Plant phenology has crucial biological, physical, and chemical effects on the
biosphere. Phenological drivers have largely been studied, but the role of plant microbiota …

Modern agriculture has accelerated biological methane and nitrogen cycling on a global
scale,. Freshwater sediments often receive increased downward fluxes of nitrate from …

Obligate methanotrophs belonging to the Phyla Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia require
oxygen for respiration and methane oxidation; nevertheless, aerobic methanotrophs are …

The microbial guild coupling anammox and nitrite/nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane
oxidation (n-DAMO) is an innovative process to achieve energy-efficient nitrogen removal …

The present-day wastewater treatment practices can be significantly improved through the
introduction of new microbial treatment technologies. Recently, several new processes for …

Microbial methane oxidation is an important process to reduce the emission of the
greenhouse gas methane. Anaerobic microorganisms couple the oxidation of methane to …

Pollution of the environment with aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene and xylene (so-called BTEX) is often observed. The cleanup of these toxic …

For the first time, we demonstrated vanadate (V (V)) reduction in a membrane biofilm reactor
(MBfR) using CH4 as the sole electron donor. The V (V)-reducing capability of the biofilm …
