Abstract:
This invention generally relates to natural gas and methylotrophic energy generation, bio-generated fuels and microbiology. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides nutrient amendments and microbial compositions, e.g., consortia, that are both specifically optimized to stimulate methanogenesis, or for “methylotrophic” or other conversions. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides methods to develop nutrient amendments and microbial compositions that are both specifically optimized to stimulate methanogenesis in a given reservoir. The invention also provides methods for the evaluation of potentially damaging biomass formation and scale precipitation resulting from the addition of nutrient amendments. In other embodiments, the invention provides methods for simulating biogas in sub-surface conditions using a computational model.

Claim (Index 76):
A method of enhancing a biochemical process, the method comprising:\n supplementing a native population of microbes with a synthetic consortium by introducing the synthetic consortium into a native microbial community of plant matter, wherein the synthetic consortium comprises at least two microbes, and abundances of the at least two microbes in the synthetic consortium are different than natural abundances of the at least two microbes; wherein the at least two microbes participate in a common metabolic pathway of the biochemical process; and wherein the synthetic consortium increases a rate of the biochemical process of the plant matter relative to a rate of the biochemical process in absence of the synthetic consortium.
