Food waste (FW) is rich in biomass energy, and increasing numbers of national programs
are being established to recover energy from FW using anaerobic digestion (AD). However …

Microorganisms in natural and engineered environments interact with surfaces and form
aggregates consisting of cells and an extracellular matrix. The design of the process and …

The increasing application of plastic film has caused the “white pollution” of farmlands in
greenhouses. To date, most studies on the ecology of the plastisphere have focused on the …

Disturbances of the anaerobic digestion process reduce the economic and environmental
performance of biogas systems. A better understanding of the highly complex process is of …

Waste treatment and the simultaneous production of energy have gained great interest in
the world. In the last decades, scientific efforts have focused largely on improving and …

Fluctuations in organic loading rate are frequently experienced in practical-scale anaerobic
digestion systems. These impose shocks to the microbiome leading to process instability …

Background: Conventional septic tank (ST) systems are an important and relatively low-cost
type of decentralized on-site sanitation infrastructure. Although ST systems are one of the …

During the anaerobic digestion (AD) of waste and production of methane as an alternative
fuel, unpredictability and instability of bioreactors are a challenge. Leading cause of such …

This study elucidated the changes in the short-term response to organic load shocks of the
anaerobic digestion (AD) microbiome acclimatized to a simple substrate and a complex …

Enhancing biogas production, while avoiding inhibition of methanogenesis during co-
digestion of grease interceptor waste (GIW), can help water resource recovery facilities …
