Mapping microbial dynamics in anaerobic digestion system linked with organic composition of substrates: Protein and lipid

Chaeyoung Rhee et al.

Summary: Considering the energy potential and anaerobic biodegradability, protein and lipid are found to be the most significant organic components in biogas feedstocks. The study analyzed the characteristics and biogas potential of ten model substrates and found that the methane production and production rate were higher in the lipid-rich substrates, while the lag phase was longer. The microbial community structure was clustered based on the organic majority and the energy analysis estimated different energy generation for protein-rich and lipid-rich substrates.

Enhanced methane production using pretreated sludge in MEC-AD system: Performance, microbial activity, and implications at different applied voltages

Anna Joicy et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of different pretreatment methods on sludge hydrolysis and methane production, as well as the influence of different applied voltages on electron transfer. The results show that alkaline-thermal pretreatment enhances sludge hydrolysis, and an applied voltage of 0.6 V promotes DIET and methane production.

Acetoclastic methanogenesis pathway stability despite the high microbial taxonomic variability in the transition from acidogenesis to methanogenesis during food waste anaerobic digestion

Renjie Ni et al.

Summary: This study investigated the transition of microbial community composition, methanogenesis functional gene expression, and metabolic pathways during the anaerobic digestion of food waste. The results showed that changes in key physiochemical parameters influenced the microbial community and functional gene expression, but not the methanogenesis metabolic pathway.

Microbial electrolysis cells (MEC) accelerated methane production from the enhanced hydrolysis and acidogenesis of raw waste activated sludge

Xue-Ting Wang et al.

Summary: The application of 0.8 V voltage significantly enhanced methane productivity in both rWAS and hWAS in MEC-AD, with rWAS maintaining high efficiency even after voltage removal. Additionally, the microbial structure in rWAS persisted at a high level post-voltage supply removal, while the enhanced effect in hWAS weakened. This suggests that enriching functional microorganisms, especially fermentative bacteria and syntrophic acetogenic bacteria, can lead to efficient methane production in MEC-AD.

Review on pretreatment techniques to improve anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge

V Khanh Nguyen et al.

Summary: Anaerobic digestion (AD) of sewage sludge is an efficient remediation technique, but the presence of complex floc structures and high organic matter content hinder hydrolysis. Pretreatment techniques such as mechanical, chemical, thermal, and biological processes can accelerate hydrolysis and improve AD efficiency.
