A low-cost approach for enhancing mesophilic (37 °C) anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic waste using a low-temperature pretreatment with different mineral wastes (MW) was investigated. higher and stable methane production rate, in comparison to MW-free controls, achieved 80 days at loading rates 1–2 g VS/L·d, feed substrate pretreated incinerator bottom ash (IBA). The boiler cement-based pretreatments also produced high but some process instability. In contrast, an fly showed progressive...
Metagenomics sequencing has generated millions of new protein sequences, most them with unknown functions. A relatively quick first step for function assignment is to use the existing public databases and their scanning tools. However, date these tools are not able identify all sequence features like conserved motifs or patterns. In this study we evaluated capability several (e.g., InterPro, PROSITE, ESTHER, pfam, AlphaFold etc) identifying lipolytic in 78 putative cold-adapted bacterial...
Abstract Poor lipid degradation limits low-temperature anaerobic treatment of domestic wastewater even when psychrophiles are used. We combined metagenomics and metaproteomics to find lipolytic bacteria their potential, actual, cold-adapted extracellular lipases in membrane bioreactors treating at 4°C 15°C. Of the 40 recovered putative metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), only three ( Chlorobium, Desulfobacter , Mycolicibacterium ) were common abundant (relative abundance ≥ 1%) all reactors....
The interaction between the ions and charge of membranes can affect efficiency pollutant removal. present study investigated removal hexavalent chromium nitrate from both actual synthetic contaminated water via two different commercial spiral wound polyamide nanofilters. In addition, under experimental conditions was by using a Box-Behnken design (BBD). Box–Behnken optimized contributing factors which included pH (5-9), initial concentration Cr (VI) (0.05-5 mg/L) (40-160 mg/L). maximum...
