BACKGROUND Microbial consortia represent promising candidates for aiding in the development of plant biomass conversion strategies for biofuel production. However, the interaction between different community members and the dynamics of enzyme complements during the lignocellulose deconstruction process remain poorly understood. We present here a comprehensive study on the community structure an...

Abstract Butyl butyrate (BB) is an important chemical with versatile applications in beverage, food and cosmetics industries. Since synthesis of BB may cause adverse impacts on the environment, biotechnology emerging alternative approach for microbial esters biosynthesis. can be synthesized by using a single Clostridium strain natively producing butanol or butyrate, exogenously supplemented but...

Methanotrophs play a key role in the global carbon cycle, in which they affect methane emissions and help to sustain diverse microbial communities through the conversion of methane to organic compounds. To investigate the microbial interactions that cause positive effects on methanotrophs, cocultures were constructed using Methylovulum miyakonense HT12 and each of nine nonmethanotrophic bacteri...

In Indonesia, the chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is popular. Unfortunately, its current productivity lower than potential yield. The low due to cultivation methods or varieties used in field. Seaweed a known bio-stimulant and combining it with microbial consortium could be an effective way boost crop productivity. goal of this study was examine how combination bio stimulants enriched can affect two...

Methane can be used as an alternative carbon source in biological denitrification because it is nontoxic, widely available and relatively inexpensive. A microbial consortium involved in methane oxidation coupled to denitrification (MOD) was enriched with nitrite and nitrate as electron acceptors under micro-aerobic conditions. The 16S rRNA gene combined with pmoA phylogeny of methanotrophs and ...
