Enriched anoxic methanotrophic consortium augmentation for mitigating methane emissions in rainfed systems and climate-neutral rice production.

This study demonstrated the effectiveness of enriched anoxic methanotrophic consortium augmentation in reducing methane (CH) emissions from rice cultivation while improving soil fertility and rice productivity. The enriched consortium from cattle farm effluent, dominated by Acinetobacter (65.5%) and containing both types I (Methylosarcina, Methylomagnum, and Methyloversatilis) and II (Methylocystis) methanotrophs, exhibited high methane oxidation rates (V 45.

Pretreatment of mulberry stem by cholinium-based amino acid ionic liquids for succinic acid fermentation and its application in poly(butylene) succinate production.

Cholinium-glycinate ([Ch][Gly]) and cholinium-alanate ([Ch][Ala]) were investigated on the pretreatment of mulberry stem (MS). It resulted in an increase of glucose from 14% to more than 74% compared to the untreated sample. Pretreatment by reused [Ch][Gly] showed good performance for delignification of >60%, and improved structural polysaccharide digestion.
