Metabolic effects of Fe0 on simultaneously eliminating excessive acidification and upgrading biogas in mesophilic or thermophilic anaerobic reactor

Xin Kong et al.

Summary: Excessive acidification and low methane percentage are challenges in anaerobic digestion of kitchen waste. The addition of Fe-0 powder has been shown to improve these issues in mesophilic AD, but its impact on thermophilic AD and the microbial interactions are unclear. This study compared the performance of Fe0 dosing on acidification and biogas quality in both mesophilic and thermophilic reactors at different loading rates.

Deciphering different effects of ZVI and NaOH on metabolic characteristics in the process of methanogenesis recovery from VFA suppression

Jianan Niu et al.

Summary: This study compares the effects of zero valent iron (ZVI) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) on microbial metabolism. The results show that ZVI promotes methane production and reduces the recovery period, while NaOH has a less significant effect. Metagenomic and metaproteomic analyses confirm the upregulation of enzymes related to methane production under ZVI regulation.

Dispersal-niche continuum index: a new quantitative metric for assessing the relative importance of dispersal versus niche processes in community assembly

Annika Vilmi et al.

Summary: Patterns in community composition are scale-dependent and difficult to distinguish. The proposed dispersal-niche continuum index (DNCI) helps quantify the relative strength of dispersal and niche processes in community assembly. DNCI suggested that dispersal was the dominant process in observational datasets, but varied across organismal groups and study contexts.

The transition temperature (42 °C) from mesophilic to thermophilic micro-organisms enhances biomethane potential of corn stover

Rui Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that raising the digestion temperature of corn stover from mesophilic to 42 degrees Celsius can increase the biomethane potential without the need for additional acid, and also lead to a change in the metabolic pathways of methanogens. Therefore, the transition temperature from mesophilic to thermophilic micro-organisms may be a promising option for anaerobic digestion of corn stover.

Deep insights into the network of acetate metabolism in anaerobic digestion: focusing on syntrophic acetate oxidation and homoacetogenesis

Xiaofang Pan et al.

Summary: Acetate plays a crucial role in anaerobic decomposition of organic matter, with a complex network of generation and consumption covering most steps in the anaerobic digestion process. Syntrophic acetate oxidation (SAO) and homoacetogenesis are key processes in the production and consumption of acetate, influencing the efficiency of anaerobic digesters. This review provides insights into the biochemical reactions, metabolism pathways, and physiological characteristics of functional bacteria involved in acetate production and consumption.

Effects of anaerobic digestion of food waste on biogas production and environmental impacts: a review

Kah Rong Chew et al.

Summary: Anaerobic digestion of food waste appears to be a promising method for generating biogas in the face of increasing energy demand and the circular economy. It causes less air and solid waste pollution compared to other methods such as incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis. Research on biogas production mainly focuses on substrate performance, with limited investigations on the environmental impact of anaerobic digestion.
