1. Waste Treatment:
The overall production of methane from organic
wastes is a complex fermentation involving a
number of groups of microorganisms
(Methanogens, member of Archaebacteria). They
utilize the anaerobic environment and organically
enriched sediments.
The aerobic waste treatment requires a large
population of actively metabolizing microorgan
isms such as Pseudomonas, Alcaligenes,
Achromobacter and Brevibacterium, able to
degrade both colloidal and soluble organics with
high rate of conversion of CO2 and water
