Exocellular electron transfer plays an important role in anaerobic microbial communities
that degrade organic matter. Interspecies hydrogen transfer between microorganisms is the …

… Dolfing et al. 1993; Dolfing and Janssen 1994). Whether organisms harness this energy is
another question. Nevertheless, in one case, the fact that thermodynamic calculations support …

The exploration of the energetics of anaerobic digestion systems can reveal how microorganisms
cooperate efficiently for cell growth and methane production, especially under low-…

A technique based on progressive fumigation was used to reduce soil microbial biodiversity,
and the effects of such reductions upon the stability of key soil processes were measured. …

Mass production and use of antibiotics and antimicrobials in medicine and agriculture have
existed for over 60 years, and has substantially benefited public health and agricultural …

Soils are the major source of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to our atmosphere.
A thorough understanding of terrestrial N 2 O production is therefore essential. N 2 O can be …

Wastes from animal production systems contribute as much as 30–50% to the global N 2 O
emissions from agriculture, but relatively little attention has been given on improving the …

The wastewater industry is facing a paradigm shift, learning to view domestic wastewater not
as a waste stream which needs to be disposed of but as a resource from which to generate …

Addressing the need to recover energy from the treatment of domestic wastewater, a 120-L
microbial electrolysis cell was operated on site in Northern England, using raw domestic …

A 100-L microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) was operated for a 12-month period fed on raw
domestic wastewater at temperatures ranging from 1 C to 22 C, producing an average of 0.6 L/…
