Advanced Protein Tracking Reveals Hidden Players in Waste-to-Energy Conversion
Scientists have developed a breakthrough method for identifying rare but metabolically active microorganisms in anaerobic digestion systems. The findings could lead to more efficient biogas production and renewable energy generation from organic waste.
Novel Approach Uncovers Microbial Dark Matter
Researchers have developed an innovative method that reveals how rare syntrophic bacteria play crucial roles in anaerobic digestion processes, according to a recent study published in Nature Microbiology. The research team employed activity-targeted metaproteomics to track protein synthesis in microorganisms that conventional methods often miss, sources indicate.
