Microorganisms engage in complex interactions with other members of the microbial
community, higher organisms as well as their environment. However, determining the exact …

In this research paper, we presented a four-dimensional mathematical system modeling the
anaerobic mineralization of phenol in a two-step microbial food-web. The inflowing …

Environmental microbes living in communities engage in complex interspecies interactions
that are challenging to decipher. Nevertheless, the interactions provide the basis for shaping …

Although mathematical modelling has reached a degree of maturity in the last decades,
microbial ecology is still developing, albeit at a rapid pace thanks to new insights provided …

Syntrophy has a pivotal role in the microbial degradation of organic compounds in
methanogenic ecosystems (McInerney et al., 2009). Methanogenic degradation of organic …

The anaerobic digestion model ADM1 is a complex model which is widely accepted as a
common platform for anaerobic process modeling and simulation. However, it has a large …

Many microbial ecosystems can be seen as microbial 'food chains' where the different
reaction steps can be seen as such: the waste products of the organisms at a given reaction …

Anaerobic digestion of biowaste not only reduces environmental burden but also plays an
important role for sustainable energy supply. For process optimization simulation based on …

The complexity of the anaerobic digestion process has motivated the development of
complex models, such as the widely used Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1. However, this …
