The effect of chemical mutagen applications on enzyme production to increase methane yield

The natural mutation rate in most microorganisms is typically a limiting factor in evolutionary engineering, as beneficial mutations occur very rarely. In this study, the effects of various chemical mutagens on Bacillus licheniformis , Bacillus halotolerans , and Salmonella enter...

From weed management to bioenergy production: An integrated BMP –kinetic– MCDM framework for evaluating terrestrial weeds

Abstract Weeds are abundant lignocellulosic biomasses that represent a largely underutilized resource for renewable energy production. This study evaluated the biomethane production potential of five terrestrial weed species— Amaranthus retroflexus , Medicago sativa , Lactuca ser...
