Abstract More recently, single‐cell encapsulation emerged as a promising field in biomedicine due to its potential applications, cell analysis and therapy. Traditional techniques involve embedding cells crosslinked polymers create continuous microgels, suitable mainly for adherent cells, or encapsulating them droplets only short‐term analysis, their instability. In this study, we developed method single liquid‐core microcapsules address these limitations. The liquid system is generated an...
Abstract Micro-aeration was shown to improve anaerobic digestion (AD) processes, although oxygen is known inhibit obligate anaerobes, such as syntrophic communities of bacteria and methanogens. The effect micro-aeration on the activity microbial interaction in communities, well potential establishment synergetic relationships with facultative (FAB) or aerobic (AB), investigated. Anaerobic sludge incubated ethanol increasing concentrations (0–5% headspace). Assays acetate H 2 /CO (direct...
Hydrocarbon-containing wastes and wastewaters are produced worldwide by the activities of oil gas industry. Anaerobic digestion has potential to treat these waste streams, while recovering part its energy as biogas. However, hydrocarbons toxic compounds that may inhibit microbial processes, particularly methanogens. In this work, toxicity hexadecane (0–30 mM) towards pure cultures hydrogenotrophic methanogens (Methanobacterium formicicum Methanospirillum hungatei) was assessed. Significantly...
