Compare between microbial and thermogenic
Microbial
Methanogenesis or biomethanation is the
formation of methane by microbes known
as methanogens. Organisms capable of
producing methane have been identified
only from the domain Archaea, a group
phylogenetically distinct from both
eukaryotes and bacteria, although many
live in close association with anaerobic
bacteria. The production of methane is an
important and widespread form of
microbial metabolism. In anoxic
environments, it is the final step in the
decomposition of biomass. Methanogenesis
is responsible for significant amounts of
natural gas accumulations, the remainder
being thermogenicMicrobial processes are
responsible for the formation, alteration,
and destruction of some natural
gasaccumulations. Individual microbial gas
accumulations may be significant (> 1 Tcf;
trillion cubic feet or 28.3 billion cubic
meters) and collectively account for more
than 20% of the global gas resource-base,
dominating in some individual
basins. Often cited resource estimates do
not effectively account for the contribution
of microbial gas to mixed
biogenicthermogenic gases nor do these
estimates fully account for secondary
microbial gas.
Microbial gas accumulations form through
multiple stages, initiating with the
breakdown of large macromolecules into
smaller components that the methanogens
can effectively utilize as an energy source.
There are two primary
methanogenic pathways, acetate
fermentation and CO2 reduction
thermogenic
Thermogenic methane occurs due to the
breakup of organic matter at elevated
temperatures and pressures in deep
sedimentary strata. Most methane in
sedimentary basins is thermogenic;
therefore, thermogenic methane is the most
important source of natural gas.
Thermogenic methane components are
typically considered to be relic (from an
earlier time). Generally, formation of
thermogenic methane (at depth) can occur
through organic matter breakup, or organic
synthesis. Both ways can involve
microorganisms (methanogenesis), but may
also occur inorganically. The processes
involved can also consume methane, with
and without microorganisms
Thermogenic means tending to produce heat,
and the term is commonly applied to drugs
which increase heat through metabolic
stimulation, or to microorganisms which
create heat within organic waste.
Approximately all enzymatic reaction in the
human body is thermogenic, which gives rise
to the basal metabolic rate. Some hormones,
such as norepinephrine and leptin, may
stimulate thermogenesis by activating the
sympathetic nervous system. Rising insulin
levels after eating may be responsible for
diet-induced thermogenesis (thermic effect of
food). Progesterone also increases body
temperature. The process of doing this is
referred to as a "thermogenic diet". Simply
put; there are food groups that burn more
calories than they consume during digestion,
boosting our metabolism as they process the
food. The amazing effect of a thermogenic
diet is you can eat healthy food while
burning away the fat.
