Resilience and robustness of alphaproteobacterial methanotrophs upon methane feast-famine scenarios.

Most of methane (CH) emissions contain low CH concentrations and typically occur at irregular intervals, which hinders the implementation and performance of methane abatement processes. This study aimed at understanding the metabolic mechanisms that allow methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB) to survive for long periods of time under methane starvation. To this aim, we used an omics-approach and studied the diversity and metabolism of MOB and non-MOB in bioreactors exposed to low CH concentrations under feast-famine cycles of 5 days and supplied with nutrient-rich broth.

Electronic address:

To address the issue of floating and loss of floc sludge caused by gas production in anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) reactors, this study proposes a limited nitrite supply strategy to regulate gas production during the settling and enhance sludge retention. Results indicate that the effluent suspended solids in the anammox reactor can be reduced to as low as 0.11 g/L under specific feast-starvation conditions.

Mechanistic studies on the effect of easy degradable carbon on pharmaceuticals removal in intermittently fed moving bed biofilm reactors.

This study was conducted to provide for the first time systematic data on how intermittent feeding with carbon (ethanol) affects the kinetics of pharmaceuticals degradation in a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR). The relationship between the degradation rate constants (K) of 36 pharmaceuticals and the length of famine was tested with 12 different feast-famine ratios: For 17 pharmaceuticals, intermittent feeding increased K with a factor of 3-17, while for six other pharmaceuticals, it decreased K. Concerning intermittent loading, three dependencies were detected: 1) for some compounds (e.
