A research team led by Dr Seigo Shima at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology has now investigated methanogenesis under nutrient-poor conditions and discovered a strategy that ...

Archaeal biology is a scientific discipline that concerns the biology of archaea, a domain of organisms consisting of single, nucleus-free cells, distinct from bacteria and eukaryotes. The cell ...

Several food processing byproducts were assessed as potential feed and feed supplements. Since their chemical composition revealed a high nutritional potential for ruminants, the Hohenheim in vitro ...

However methanogenesis was entrenched at the underlying sand matrix. Accelerated decomposition occurred as the leachate percolated through the sand matrix at an infiltration of 1.6 cm/day thereby, ...

Methanogenesis, sulfate reduction to sulfide, excessive ethanol oxidation to acetate (EEO), carboxylic acid oxidation, and the acrylate pathway (i.e., propionate formation from lactate during ...

They employ a unique metabolic pathway called methanogenesis, using carbon dioxide, hydrogen, or acetate to generate energy while producing methane gas. These ancient organisms play crucial roles in ...
