Model-driven systems engineering has been more fascinating process for the microbial production of biofuel and bio-refineries in chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Genome-scale modeling and simulations have been guided for metabolic engineering of Clostridium species for the production of organic solvents and organic acids. Among them, Clostridium sticklandii is one of the potential organi...

Anaerobic digestion is the breakdown of biodegradable organic material by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen or in an oxygen-starved environment.This technology is superior to the landfilling and also the aerobic composting. The aim of the present study was to examine whether the effluent Volatile Fatty Acids from the anaerobic acidogenesis of the food waste can be used du to its high valu...

Abstract Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and alcohols generated from acidogenic processes are valuable bioresources. However, how the diversity of microorganisms environmental factors affect their generation still poorly understood. In this study, 18 different inocula 42 sludges lab-scale reactors were collected to analyze microbial communities metabolic potential using 16S rRNA genes high throughp...

The excessive use of fossil has resulted in the drastic exhaustion natural energy sources, leading to environmental challenges and crises. Owing rising demand there is a dire need shift towards renewable energies from lignocellulosic biomass. present study assessed co-production biohydrogen (H 2 ) biomethane (CH 4 by utilizing less explored halophyte Atriplexcrassifolia. Various reaction parame...

BACKGROUND Volatile fatty acids (VFA) are building blocks for the chemical industry. Sustainable, biological production is constrained by production and recovery costs, including the need for intensive pH correction. Membrane electrolysis has been developed as an in situ extraction technology tailored to the direct recovery of VFA from fermentation while stabilizing acidogenesis without caustic...

The GEEB Team of the University of Reunion directed this research towards the optimization of the anaerobic digestion of solid and liquid waste by injection of leachate. The objectives are to assess the performances of this type of process (to accelerate the process of biological breakdown) and to require a better control of the physicochemical mechanisms involved. During anaerobic digestion, t...
