چکیده
Biomass from two full-scale anaerobic digester treating different wastes regarding to nitrogen concentrations and operating under different hydraulic retention time was characterized by methanogenic batch activity assays at different ammonia concentrations. Two several different patterns regarding activity and microbial parameters was demonstrated depending on operational conditions and methanogenic pathway. Furthermore, syntrophic acetate oxidation (SAO) process could be a possible alternatively pathway to obtain more methane enrich biogas.

BACKGROUND High levels of ammonia and the presence of sulphide have major impacts on microbial communities and are known to cause operating problems in anaerobic degradation of protein-rich material. Operating strategies that can improve process performance in such conditions have been reported. The microbiological impacts of these are not fully understood, but their determination could help id...

Methanogens in anaerobic ammonia-rich digesters show differential responses to ammonia stress. The mechanism for this is poorly understood. In the present study, we determined the rates of methane production, the composition of methanogen mcrA (the gene coding for the alpha subunit of methyl-coenzyme M reductase) and their transcripts in response to ammonium addition in the anaerobic sludge ret...

The microbial-mediated anaerobic digestion (AD) process represents an efficient biological process for the treatment of organic waste along with biogas harvest. Currently, the key factors structuring bacterial communities and the potential core and unique bacterial populations in manure anaerobic digesters are not completely elucidated yet. In this study, we collected sludge samples from 20 ful...

Anaerobic digestion of high-nitrogen wastes such as animal manure can be inhibited by high concentrations of un-ionized ammonia, NH(3) (aq). Understanding the toxicity of NH(3) (aq) to anaerobic digestion requires a method for determining its concentration. Previous work on ammonia toxicity in anaerobic digesters has utilized a simple equilibrium calculation for estimating NH(3) (aq) concentrat...

Monitoring of methanogenic communities in anaerobic digesters using molecular-based methods is very attractive but can be cost-intensive. A new and fast quantification method by microscopic image analysis was developed to accompany molecular-based methods. This digitalized method, called quantitative microscopic fingerprinting (QMF), enables quantification of active methanogenic cells (N mL(-1)...
