Identification of microbial inhibitions and mitigation strategies towards cleaner bioconversions of palm oil mill effluent (POME): A review

Yoke Wang Cheng et al.

Summary: The research identifies up to eight possible microbial inhibitions in POME bioconversions, including oil encapsulation, chemical inhibition, physical disruption, strict oxygen preference, extreme temperature, extreme pH, extreme salinity, and photoinactivation. Mitigation strategies are classified into substrate, microbial, and process aspects to lessen microbial inhibitions, with the potential application of genetically modified microbes showing promise in resolving these inhibitions.

Pretreatment of lignocelluloses for enhanced biogas production: A review on influencing mechanisms and the importance of microbial diversity

Safoora Mirmohamadsadeghi et al.

Summary: This study critically reviewed the molecular mechanisms of different types of pretreatments on lignocellulosic biomass affecting biogas yield, proposed a new hypothesis regarding the influence of pretreatments on microbial communities, and experimentally verified it through a case study. The findings emphasized the significant role of pretreatment methods in altering the microbial community and subsequently impacting biogas production from lignocelluloses. These results challenge the default hypothesis of changes in substrate characteristics as the sole mechanism affecting biogas yield, and provide insights for developing more efficient biogas production systems at an industrial scale through a deeper understanding of microbial community interactions.
