In ruminants, evidence is accumulating regarding the associations between rumen microbial taxonomic features and feed efficiency. However, to date, how rumen microbial functional features contribute to the variations in feed efficiency of beef cattle has not been well understood. Moreover,...

Using "omics" approaches to study anaerobic hydrocarbon biodegradation by microbes indigenous to oil sands tailings ponds
DownloadSpring 2014
In oil sands tailings ponds, methanogenesis is driven in part by the degradation of hydrocarbons in residual solvents used as a diluent during bitumen extraction, such as naphtha. Alkanes constitute a large proportion of these unrecovered hydrocarbons in mature fine tailings (MFT). Methanogenic...
