Optimum Recovery of Biogas from Pig Slurry with Different Compositions

In Vitro Treatment of Different Isolates from Cattle Dung and Pig Slurry by Nisin

Lauková A . : In Vitro Treatment of Different Isolates from Cattle Dung and Pig Slurry by Nisin. Acta Vet. Brno 2000, 69: 147–151. The antimicrobial effect of nisin against selected environmental isolates (from cattle dung and pig slurry) was tested using two methods: well diffusion test and agar spot test. Following isolates were included in the tests: enterococci (33), staphylococci (11), Bac...

Review of ammonia emissions from a pig house slurry

Antibiotic resistance of Salmonella strains isolated from pig slurry

The survival of Salmonella sp. in pig slurry submitted to treatment in a stabilization ponds system from a pig breeding farm in southern Brazil were evaluated. The stabilization ponds system proved to be efficient, reducing 93% of the Salmonella sp. population present in the slurry. The resistance pattern of 161 Salmonella Typhimurium strains isolated throughout the system were evaluated agains...

Biogas generation from floral waste using different techniques

There is a great need to implement low-cost and user-friendly methods for further propagation of biogas technology in India. Environment unfriendly disposal of floral waste causes serious environmental pollution. Literature shows a limited research work regarding the anaerobic digestion of floral waste for biogas generation.  The present experimental work aims to propagate floral waste as a sus...

Predicting compositions of microbial communities from stoichiometric models with applications for the biogas process

BACKGROUND Microbial communities are ubiquitous in nature and play a major role in ecology, medicine, and various industrial processes. In this study, we used stoichiometric metabolic modeling to investigate a community of three species, Desulfovibrio vulgaris, Methanococcus maripaludis, and Methanosarcina barkeri, which are involved in acetogenesis and methanogenesis in anaerobic digestion for...
