Metabolic versatility of anaerobic sludge towards platform chemical production ...
Magalhães, C. P.; Alves, Joana I.; Duber, Anna; Oleskowicz-Popiel, Piotr; Stams, Alfons Johannes Maria; Cavaleiro, Ana JúliaWaste glycerol is produced in excess by several industries, such as during biodiesel production. In this work, the metabolic versatility of anaerobic sludge was explored towards waste glycerol valorization. By applying different environmental (methanogenic and sulfate-reducing) conditions, three distinct microbial cultures were obtained from the same inoculum (anaerobic granular sludge), with high microbial spe...
The protective effect of Pseudomonas in syntrophic fatty acids degradation unde...
Magalhães, C. P.; Duarte, Maria Salomé; Pereira, M. Alcina; Stams, Alfons Johannes Maria; Cavaleiro, Ana Júlia; Alves, M. M.Micro-aeration has been used in anaerobic digestion (AD) systems to improve some aspects of this multifunctional and flexible technology. The addition of vestigial amounts of oxygen is usually associated with an increase of the relative abundance of facultative anaerobic bacteria (FAB) in the microbial community. Besides being involved in fermentation/acidogenesis, FAB have been referred to act as a protective ...
MALDI-TOF ICMS for bacterial classification and identification : how many cells...
Cunha, J. T.; Magalhães, C. P.; Morgado, F. G. A.; Santos, C.; Lima, NelsonThe identification of species is fundamental to taxonomy. In microbiology, information about each microorganism (e.g., morphological and molecular descriptions, physiological and biochemical properties, ecological roles, and societal risks or benefits) is the key element in this process. Identifications can been a long process with frequent revisions of the taxonomic schemes. These changes make identifications ...
