Lipid-rich wastes are energy-dense substrates for anaerobic digestion. However, long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs), key intermediates in lipid degradation, inhibit methanogenic activity. In this study, TaqMan-based qPCR assays targeting the 16S rRNA gene of the cardinal LCFA-degrading bacterial species Syntrophomonas palmitatica and S. zehnderi were developed and validated. A trial experiment showed the advantage of species-specific quantification versus genus-specific quantification in assessing bacterial capacity for lipidic waste degradation. These qPCR assays will serve as monitoring tools for estimating the LCFA-degrading capacity of anaerobic digester communities and developing an effective strategy to enrich LCFA-degrading bacteria.

This study was carried out to determine the prevalence, genotypes/assemblages and possible risk factors associated with Giardia duodenalis infection in dogs in central Vietnam. A total of 209 dog fecal samples, randomly collected from private owned dogs (n=105) and dogs from stores (n=104), were examined for Giardia cysts by microscopy. Positive samples were genotyped by PCR-sequence analysis of β-giardin and triosephosphate isomerase genes markers. Risk factors were studied using a structured questionnaire and collected data were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results indicated that the overall infection rate was 8.6% (18/209) with the detected parasites were belonging to the non-zoonotic assemblages C and D. Age, gender and origin of animals were the main risk factors associated with G. duodenalis infection in dogs under study. Occurrence of infection was more likely in young animals compared to old ones and in females compared to males. Dogs originated from stores were more prone to Giardia infection compared to private owned counterparts.
