“…Anaerobic treatment produces up to ten times less biomass, which is related to very low requirements for nutrients and energy in the form of biogas. Excess sludge does not need to be further stabilized, which is a necessary part of aerobic treatment [37]. From the bioreactor and the overall cleaning process point of view, anaerobic wastewater purification is an alternative to aerobic technologies.…”

“…However, one of the biggest advantages of this is that the high sludge retention time in the reactor promotes the growth of microorganisms with a long generation time, which are able to degrade pollutants that cannot be degraded in aerobic conditions or are toxic to aerobic microorganisms. Finally, we cannot omit the price of operation, which is significantly lower for anaerobic technologies [37].…”

Over the past decades, anaerobic biotechnology is commonly used for treating high-strength wastewaters from different industries. This biotechnology depends on interactions and co-operation between microorganisms in the anaerobic environment where many pollutants’ transformation to energy-rich biogas occurs. Properties of wastewater vary across industries and significantly affect microbiome composition in the anaerobic reactor. Methanogenic archaea play a crucial role during anaerobic wastewater treatment. The most abundant acetoclastic methanogens in the anaerobic reactors for industrial wastewater treatment are Methanosarcina sp. and Methanotrix sp. Hydrogenotrophic representatives of methanogens presented in the anaerobic reactors are characterized by a wide species diversity. Methanoculleus sp., Methanobacterium sp. and Methanospirillum sp. prevailed in this group. This work summarizes the relation of industrial wastewater composition and methanogen microbial communities present in different reactors treating these wastewaters.
