Comparative evaluation of bioenergy production from food waste was carried out with both a temperature-phased and a conventional mesophilic two-phased process at different organic loading rates (OLRs). No methane was detected in the temperature-phased thermophilic-acidogenic fermenter at all the OLRs tested. However, a significant amount of methane content was detected in the conventional two-p...

anaerobic digestion of organic solid waste (osw) from kitchen was conducted in completely stirred tank reactors (cstrs) under both mesophilic and thermophilic conditions. the lab-scale reactors were fed with the osw containing 10% of total solids (ts) at a hydraulic retention time (hrt) of 30 days (3.0-3.5 g-ts/l/d of volumetric loading rate). both mesophilic and thermophilic reactors exhibited...

this study deals with bioleaching of the low grade uranium ore of saghand mine in iran using a mixed culture of mesophilic bacteria (acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and leptospirillum ferrooxidans). experiments were carried out in shaking flask examining the effect of temperature, initial ferrous ion concentration, pulp density and particle size. variations of ph, ...

morphological, biochemical and molecular characteristics were studied to identify dominant lactic acid bacteria (lab), isolated from traditional yoghurts produced by tribes of iran. from 60 yoghurt samples, a total of 137 lab isolates were determined, in which 66 and 71 were identified as lactic acid cocci and bacilli, respectively. biochemical tests showed the occurrence of 9.76% mesophilic ho...

Understanding fate of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) vs. their antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during wastewater sludge treatment is critical in order to reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance through process optimization. Here, we spiked high concentrations of tetracycline-resistant bacteria, isolated from mesophilic (Iso M1-1-a Pseudomonas sp.) and thermophilic (Iso T10-a Bacillus...

BACKGROUND In this research, the feasibility of, and population dynamics in, one-step anaerobic sequencing batch reactor systems treating the fine sieved fraction (FSF) from raw municipal wastewater was studied under thermophilic (55 °C) and mesophilic (35 °C) conditions. FSF was sequestered from raw municipal wastewater, in the Netherlands, using a rotating belt filter (mesh size 350 micron). ...

Cyanobacterial diazotrophs play a significant role in environmental nitrogen economy despite their habitat either tropical or polar. However, the phenomenon by which it copes with temperature induced stress is poorly understood. Temperature response study of psychrophilic and mesophilic Nostoc strains explores their adaptive mechanisms. The selected psychrophilic and mesophilic strains were con...
