In silico Modeling and Experimental Validation for Improving Methanogenesis from CO2 via M. maripaludis

Download or read book In silico Modeling and Experimental Validation for Improving Methanogenesis from CO2 via M. maripaludis written by Nishu Goyal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores the ability of M. maripaludis to capture and convert CO2 to methane in the presence of free nitrogen, and offers a consolidated review of the metabolic processes and applications of M. maripaludis. Further, it develops, validates and analyzes the first genome-scale metabolic model (iMM518) of M. maripaludis. Readers will discover, for the first time, the impact of nitrogen fixation on methane production. As such, the thesis will be of interest to researchers working on M. maripaludis, biofuels and bioenergy, systems biology modeling and its experimental validation, estimation of maintenance energy parameters, nitrogen fixing microbes, and bioremediation.
