Microbial energy conversion
- eds.
Proceedings of a seminar on microbial energy conversion organized under the auspices of the Gesellschaft fur Strahlem-und Umweltforschung, sponsored by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research and the Ministry for Research and Technology of the Federal Republic of Germany and held at the Institut fur Mikrobiologie, Gottingen. Experts and observers in the fields of microbiology, bio-technology, chemistry, economics and sociology from seventeen countries attended this seminar the aim of which was to review biomass production and to discuss in detail those microbial processes involved in the conversion of the primary biomass. In addition to the thirty-eight papers presented at the seminar, this volume contains the recommendations concerning future research and development put forward by working groups on: biomass; recycling of wastes; methane production; photoproduction of hydrogen/purple membrane; microbial recovery of hydrocarbons; prices of important substrates and economics of chemical interconversions.
