Enhanced biohydrogen production from high loads of unpretreated cattle manure by cellulolytic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii at 75 °C.

Caldicellulosiruptor bescii is the most thermophilic cellulolytic bacterium capable of fermenting crystalline cellulose identified to date, and it also has a superior ability to degrade plant biomass without any pretreatment. This study is the first to assess the potential of utilizing unpretreated cattle manure (UCM) as a feedstock for hydrogen (H) production by C. bescii at a concentration range between 2.

Carbon-based conductive materials enhance biomethane recovery from organic wastes: A review of the impacts on anaerobic treatment.

Amongst the most important sustainable waste management strategies, anaerobic biotechnology has had a central role over the past century in the management of high-pollution load sources, such as food, agricultural and municipal wastes. During anaerobic digestion (AD), valuable by-products such as digestate and biogas are produced. Biogas (mainly composed of methane) is generated through a series of reactions between bacteria and archaea.
