Characterization of the fecal and mucosa-associated microbiota in dogs with colorectal epithelial tumors

Colorectal epithelial tumors occur spontaneously in dogs, and the pathogenesis seems to parallel that of humans. The development of human colorectal tumorigenesis has been linked to alterations in the composition of the intestinal microbiota. This …

Microbial community characterization during anaerobic digestion of Scenedesmus spp. under mesophilic and thermophilic conditions

Microbial communities were thoroughly characterized in a mesophilic anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) and a thermophilic continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), which were both treating recalcitrant microalgal biomass dominated by Scenedesmus. …

The effect of temperature and retention time on methane production and microbial community composition in staged anaerobic digesters fed with food waste
