Correction to: Biomethanol Production from Methane by Immobilized Co-cultures of Methanotrophs

methane production from anaerobic co-digestion of poultry manure

this study investigated the effect of loading and temperature on anaerobic co-digestion of poultry manure with straw in mesophilic conditions. the study was made at lab-scale using 70l reactor with a hrt of 15 days. during the first phase, different loads of 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 kg vs/m3.d were studied in order to produce biogas. at load of 3.0 kg vs/ m3.d, vs removal and gas product...

Alcohol Production from Cassava Starch by Co-immobilized Zymomonas mobilis and Immobilized Glucoamylase

Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of dextrin£zed cassava starch to glucose and alcohol, respectively, were carried out by co-immobilized Zymomonas mobilis and immobilz'zed glucoamylase (IG). Calcium alginate-entrapped cells and IG (4 : 1 ratio) gave an alcohol productivity of 0.30 glgww cellslh in a batchfermentation process. For continuous fermentation, 54.3 gil alcohol was produc...

CO x Free Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Decomposition of Methane Over Porous Ni/Al2O3 Catalysts

Particulate methane monooxygenase genes in methanotrophs.

A 45-kDa membrane polypeptide that is associated with activity of the particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) has been purified from three methanotrophic bacteria, and the N-terminal amino acid sequence was found to be identical in 17 of 20 positions for all three polypeptides and identical in 14 of 20 positions for the N terminus of AmoB, the 43-kDa subunit of ammonia monooxygenase. DNA from ...

Intermediate Production of Mono- and Diolein by an Immobilized Lipase from Candida antarctica

Lipase from Candida antarctica, fixed on macroporous acrylic resin, has been used for the intermediate production of mono- and diolein by hydrolysis of triolein. The effect of altering concentrations of triolein and glycerol and the function of the molecular sieve on the hydrolysis reaction of triolein were investigated. The highest hydrolysis yield was observed for the utmost concentration of ...
