Biotechnol Lett 27(20):1537-41 (2005) PMID 16245171

A novel approach to utilizing whey permeate, the cultivation of mycelia of the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, is introduced. Response surface analysis (RSA) was successfully applied to determine the combination of substrate concentration, temperature and pH that would result in a maximal mycelial extension rate under solid state cultivation. The conditions to maximize the mycelial extension rate were predicted to be 44 g lactose l(-1), pH 6.0 and 24.2 degrees C. Subsequent verification of these levels agreed with model predictions.

    A pilot-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) treating swine wastewater was operated for 382 days to evaluate the process performance and methanogenic population dynamics. A real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR) was used to detect and quantify the 16S rRNA gene concentrations of the domain Archae...

    The primary driver for a successful biological nutrient removal is the availability of suitable carbon source, mainly in the form of volatile fatty acids (VFA). Several methods have been examined to increase the amount of VFAs in wastewater. This study investigates the mechanism of mechanical disint...
