Abstract Marine Rhodobacteraceae (Alphaproteobacteria) are key players of
biogeochemical cycling, comprise up to 30% of bacterial communities in pelagic …

This work explored the production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) through the anaerobic
digestion of sewage sludge (SS). The first experiment took place at batch scale to evaluate …

The Roseobacter group and SAR11 clade constitute high proportions of the marine
bacterioplankton, but only scarce information exists on the abundance of distinct populations …

Coccolithophores are unicellular calcifying marine phytoplankton that can form large and
conspicuous blooms in the oceans and make significant contributions to oceanic carbon …

The main aim of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of producing caproic acid and other
volatile fatty acids using a co-digestion between cheese whey and sewage sludge in a …

The potential link between the microbial dynamics and the environmental parameters was
investigated in a semi‐enclosed and highly dynamic coastal system (G ulf of T rieste …

Anaerobic digestion of poultry manure is limited by the excessive levels of nitrogen and the
high concentration of dry matter. These limitations are usually overcome either by applying …

The coastal waters of the Baltic Sea are constantly threatened by oil spills, due to the
extensive transportation of oil products across the sea. To characterise the hydrocarbon …

Microbial degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in planktonic ecosystems is carried
out by diverse prokaryotic communities, whose growth rates and patterns of DOM utilization …

The responses of coastal microbial communities to nutrient inputs depend on the magnitude
and nature of those inputs. To understand the response of prokaryote communities to …
