Sentences with phrase «many anaerobic microbes»

remember tho, even if disposables went biodegradable, they would still need the presence of oxygen and aerobic and anaerobic microbes to break down, something in short supply in landfills.

Instead of mitochondria (the cellular engines that convert oxygen to energy, present in all other known animal cells), these creatures contain structures resembling hydrogenosomes, the organelles that anaerobic microbes use to generate energy.

Tropical rainforests harbor anaerobic microbes that actually utilize lignin as their sole source of carbon.

On the other hand, many anaerobic microbes including methanogens are easily poisoned by oxygen, and the recent discovery of banded sediments with rusted iron on Akilia Island in West Greenland suggests that oxygen - producing, photosynthetic microbes (e.g., cyanobacteria) living on the surface of wet areas to gather sunlight may have developed by the end of this geologic period (3.85 billion years ago) despite continuing bombardment from space.

In warming areas that grow boggier every year, this might mean ensuring that there is enough oxygen - rich moving water, which would make the area less hospitable to anaerobic microbes that belch large quantities of methane.

Diminishment of cometary and meteoric bombardment allowed anaerobic microbes to spread widely in wet habitats.

However, anaerobic microbes in many habitats died out in massive numbers, including the climate - warming methanogens, during the «Great Oxygenation Event» (or «Great Oxidation Event») between Years 2.2 and 2.3 billion.

Prior experience in manipulation of anaerobic microbes, mouse infection models, analytical chemistry or bioinformatics are desirable (but not required).

is a collaborative research project in collaboration with Marissa Benedict that explored, among other things, Joseph Beuys, the material movement of Chicago and its history, the lifestyle of urban coyotes, diving for anaerobic microbes and much more

It turns out that the overlying fresh water aquifer in the glacial till (deposited during the last glacial max) helps maintain an enormous biogenic nursery within the underlying Antrim (the anaerobic microbes need fresh water).

An international team of researchers has shown how anaerobic microbes in oil deposits around the world — including in unconventional sources such as the oil sands — naturally break down crude oil into methane in the reservoir.

Brooks added a non-toxic, natural additive that encourages anaerobic microbes to break down the material once the material hits an active, enclosed landfill.

Not exact matches

Over the course of more than 200 days, the researchers fed the microbes a diet of anaerobic and aerobic sludge, as well as hospital and potato processing factory wastewater.

Anaerobic microsites in soil are microscopic habitats lacking oxygen in which microbes are limited in their ability to metabolize soil organic matter into climate - active CO2 that is released to the atmosphere.

Traditionally, suppressing oxygen while feeding biodegradable waste to microbes results in the production of methane - rich gas through anaerobic digestion.

Adapted to their very hot but watery environment, these microbes metabolized hydrogen - rich compounds or dead or live organic materials to derive the energy that sustains anaerobic life, including sulfate - reducing bacteria that produce Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), fermentative bacteria that produce carbon dioxide and alcohol -LRB-- OH), and methanogenic bacteria — the methanogens found in sewage and mudflats today — that produce methane (CH4) gas as a waste product.

Many of the bacterial species in the young children with CF, he noted, were «anaerobic» microbes that thrive in conditions of very low oxygen.

CO2 + 4 H2 → CH4 + 2 H2O CH3COOH → CH4 + CO2 This kind of anaerobic degradation of organic carbon in melting permafrost generates methane, However, it's hard to assign energetics in detail to these processes since there are other microbes involved... «Energetics of syntrophic cooperation in methanogenic degradation.
