Biases during DNA extraction affect bacterial and archaeal community profile of anaerobic digestion samples
(Springer, 2017)The anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic waste for biogas production has received much attention in recent years due to the increasing need for renewable energy and environmentally friendly waste management systems. ... -
Current status, hurdles and future prospects of biogas digestion technology in Africa
(Elsevier, 2017)Anaerobic digestion of organic wastes results in the production of biogas and a nutrient-rich digestate. The biogas that is produced through this process consists of methane, carbon dioxide and minute amounts of other ... -
Determining the waste composition profile to optimise biomethane production : a case study for the South African ice cream industry
(North-West University (South Africa)North-West University, 2020)The management of waste is a global concern, especially dealing with issues such as limited landfill airspace and the negative impacts of waste on the environment. To minimise these impacts, the National Waste Management ... -
Metagenomic insights into the microbial community and biogas production pattern during anaerobic digestion of cow dung and mixed food waste
(Wiley, 2020)BACKGROUND: The uncontrolled overproduction of fruit and vegetable waste causes serious environmental challenges such asemission of greenhouse gases. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is becoming a widely adopted technology for ... -
Microbial consortia dynamics during thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion of faecal sludge
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)Globally, water scarcity and sanitation have for a long time been of great concern; therefore, water needs to be preserved, but the demands for safe and adequate water are rapidly increasing. Although sanitation in urban ... -
Study on the microbial community shift during co-fermentation of substrates
(North-West University (South Africa)North-West University, 2020)Some of the core issues faced today in developed and developing countries are global energy protection and better utilisation of natural resources. Anaerobic digestion is currently one of the options available that may ...
