Biology of anaerobic microorganisms
TL;DR: The Principles and Limits of Anaerobic Degradation: Environmental and Technological Aspects (B. Vogels, et al.) are published.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion processes in anaerobic digestion
TL;DR: In this article, six different conversion processes are identified in the degradation of particulate organic material (biopolymers) to methane, and the kinetic data are applied to the design of an anaerobic digester for raw domestic sludge.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of bacterial cell wall hydrophobicity in adhesion.
TL;DR: In this study, the adhesion of bacteria differing in surface hydrophobicity was investigated and showed that hydrophobic cells adhered to a greater extent than hydrophilic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrophoretic mobility and hydrophobicity as a measured to predict the initial steps of bacterial adhesion.
TL;DR: The relationship between physiochemical surface parameters and adhesion of bacterial cells to negatively charged polystyrene was studied and cell surface hydrophobicity and electrokinetic potential were determined by contact angle measurement and electrophoresis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of interfaces on microbial activity.
TL;DR: It is concluded that so far neither experimental nor theoretical evidence exists for a direct influence of interfaces on microbial activity.
