In this chapter “Microbial Ecology,”

The range of substrates used by prokaryotes as carbon sources for growth (assimilatory metabolism) is far greater than in the eukaryot

For example, some processes use substrates that are residues of agriculture, forestry, or food-processing, thereby reducing the environmental impact of the residue. Other processes do not use residues, but produce pro

This is followed by presentation of anaerobic process stoichiometry and energetics as well as kinetics as these are prerequisites for the design of anaerobic processes. The importance of the feed characteristics that make a particular substrate medium or feedstock suitable are then discussed

They also hold the potentiality for creating life support systems for space exploration and habitation outside of Earth’s biosphere. Finally, they are an experimental method
