This study shows that controlling pH and temperature in a continuous reactor system can selectively produce D-lactate from lactose-rich waste by manipulating microbial community composition.

This paper develops a systems-biology platform for Methanothermobacter spp. to optimize power-to-gas technology by analyzing genome-scale metabolic models and growth performance in bioreactors.

This paper demonstrates a membrane-less bioelectrochemical system using sacrificial carbon anodes to inhibit O2 evolution, enabling efficient microbial electrosynthesis with high methane production rates.

This study deletes genes encoding Mth60 fimbriae in M. thermautotrophicus ΔH, showing a loss of cell-cell connections and altered biofilm formation.

This study shows that near-neutral pH enhances n-caprylate production in a microbiome by inhibiting methanogenesis through undissociated n-caprylic acid.

This paper uses CRISPR-Cas12a to delete genes in Clostridium ljungdahlii, showing that rseC is essential for autotrophy and that nitrate reduction is linked to energy metabolism.

This paper develops a shuttle-vector system for genetic modification of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus, enabling heterologous gene expression and growth on alternative substrates.

The paper develops an electrodialysis/phase separation cell to directly extract medium-chain carboxylic acid oil from bioreactor broth, achieving higher efficiency than membrane electrolysis with pertraction.

This study isolates and characterizes Caproiciproducens sp. 7D4C2, showing it produces n-caproate at mildly acidic pH from hexoses and compares its genome and rBOX genes to related strains.

The paper investigates storage conditions for food waste to optimize fermentation intermediates, finding that temperature, composition, and time significantly affect lactate production.

This study examines how residential energy retrofits affect indoor air quality and microbial exposure by comparing weatherized and non-weatherized homes.

The paper shows that pyrogenic carbon from fires reduces methane production in peatlands, leading to a net climate benefit by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.

The paper shows that Christensenella and Methanobrevibacter species co-occur in the human gut due to interspecies H2 transfer, supporting a lean BMI association through metabolic interactions.
