microbial digestion

Hydrogen and other gases are the byproducts of microbial digestion.

This implies microbial digestion plays only a minor role in their digestive strategy.

Complex gut - microbial digestion sites for breaking down fibrous material.

As microbial digestion is slow, bison spend much of their time resting and ruminating.

In nature, molecules are split often, such as in food digestion and microbial digestion activity.

By disrupting the protein coating that surrounds the starch particles you increase microbial digestion of the grain.

Key words: chitinase, b-N-acetylglucosaminidase, cetacea, symbiotic microbial digestion.

The follow-on process, biological treatment, consists of breaking down the neutralization byproduct called hydrolysate by microbial digestion.

The products of this microbial digestion are fatty acids, CO (carbon dioxide), methane and hydrogen.

In this process we are cracking the seed coat to expose the endosperm and starch particle for microbial digestion in the rumen.

It does have a water-retentive, granular structure that facilitates the presence of air and moisture throughout the mass creating perfect conditions for microbial digestion to proceed.

A typical cow burps 280 litres of methane each day, the result of microbial digestion of fodder in its stomach.

Foregut fermentation enables a more complete fragmentation of food, with microbial digestion, followed by further digestion and extraction of nutrients by the host.

The large caecum and colon help in microbial digestion, and a quick rate of food passage allows for lower cell wall digestion than in other ruminants.

It is also noted, however, that such rapid passage of digesta limits the potential of microbial digestion in the gastrointestinal tract, limiting alternative forms of digestion.

She stressed that the results from his team on microbial digestion were based on the degradation of a particular component of the oil known as alkane, in a particular zone of the Gulf waters.

Application must only occur during the growing season when soil temperatures and soil moisture are favourable for microbial digestion (soil temperature 10 C or higher and moisture content between field capacity and wilting point.

Further work demonstrated that the coarse clay fraction had the greatest carbon to nitrogen ratio, greatest minimum residence time in the soil based on C radioisotope dating, and contained carbon most recalcitrant to microbial digestion.
