Textbook of Microbial Diversity | Book Publisher International

The Textbook of Microbial Diversity is a comprehensive book that explores the diverse world of microorganisms. It covers various groups of microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, archaea, viruses, and protists, emphasizing their unique characteristics, classification, and ecological roles. The book often integrates information from microbiology, ecology, and genetics to offer a detailed understanding of how these organisms contribute to the environment, human health, and industrial applications. The key topics covered in this book include microbial classification and taxonomy, diversity of microbial life exploring the immense variety of microbial species found in different ecosystems, microbial ecology that discusses the fundamental interactions between microbes and their environment and their role in nutrient cycling, biotechnological applications of microbes in various sectors and outline of the use of various modern techniques require to study microbial diversity. The book aims to provide readers with a foundational understanding of microbial life and the methods used to study and appreciate its complexity and importance. It serves as a useful resource for degree students, researchers, and teachers interested in microbiology, botany, ecology, and other related fields.

Advanced Thermophilic Fermentation of Wood Wastes with Nitrogen-rich Agricultural and Other Organic Wastes for the Production of Biomethane/Renewable Natural Gas Globally | Chapter 1 | Research Advances in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 4

 Improved thicket management formed of the collection of tree mortalities and of the pruning of tree stands can yield a big, but as of now mainly un-utilized biomass property that can be employed as well high in nitrogen content land wastes such as animal manures to produce inexhaustible natural gas via a organic process.  The novel process mimics the well-known forest digestion to poison gas employed by lower termites but operating at thermophilic temperatures. The adaptation process of renewable forest to green or bio-poison gas, designated as “Wood to Methane 3+2” exists of five (3+2) steps. The initial “3” steps of the process include (a) forest maceration to 1 mm pieces, (b) aerobic hyperthermophilic (70o) hydrolysis of the homogenized combination of wood and manure accompanying the aid of thermophilic fungi (Humicola insolens and Sporotrichum thermophile), and (c) the anaerobic thermophilic (55oC) co-digestion of the feedstock into biogas. The definitive “2” steps consist of (d) the improve of the generated biogas into “basic” bio-methane fuel by way of a three-stage commercial sheath separation plan along with the sequestration of the colorless odorless gas, and (e) the conversion of the isolated carbon dioxide into “subordinate” bio-methane fuel accompanying hydrogen produced by wind-stimulate water electrolysis in a thermophilic (55oC) anaerobic trickle bed catalyst employing hydrogenotrophic archaea (Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus). An optimally patterned, modular, industrial type plant treats occurring 12,000 mt (metric tons) of forest wastes (80% TS) and 12,000 mt of suitable animal manures (10% TS) and create 7.6 million Nm3 of primary and subordinate bio-poison gas fuel along with biography-fertilizers amounting to 2,800 mt of green liquid as ammonium nitrate, 1,000 mt of potassium concentrate and 3,500 mt of phosphate-rich humic soil amendment, has a negative 10,000 mt colorless odorless gas footprint and demands 25 MW of wind power.  The caused renewable natural gas maybe employed essentially or along with green hydrogen as an state-of-the-art, renewable, negative carbon conveyance fuel. The available appropriate waste-wood possessions globally are adequate to supply as much as 1/5 of the world’s energy basic needs in the 2nd half of the 21st century.
