Animal digestive strategies versus anaerobic digestion bioprocesses for biogas production from lignocellulosic biomass

Abstract: Herbivorous mammals and wood-eating insects are fairly effective in the digestion of plant polymers, such as lignocellulosics. In order to improve methane production from the lignocellulosic biomass, several kinds of anaerobic digestion processes derived from animal models have been devised. However, the rates of biodegradation occurring in the anaerobic bioreactors still remain lower than in animal guts. The effectiveness of the digestive systems of those animals results from the concerted action of the vario… Show more

“…5,6,8,11−14 Livestock wastes such as pig manure (PM) not only contribute nitrogen and alkalinity but also provide a high microbiological activity, which is able to degrade vegetal fiber. 15,16 Several reasons explain the growing interest and justify the development of biogas production by anaerobic co-digestion of agro-industrial wastes. First, there is a good availability and diversity of a large amount of biodegradable organic waste that could be used for biogas production.…”

“…AD bioprocess reproduces rumen fermentation, where acidification, hydrolysis, and then acidogenesis and methanogenesis occur. However, the rates of biodegradation occurring in the anaerobic bioreactors still remain lower than in animal guts (Bayané and Guiot 2011). Moreover, digestion in the animal ruminants can be additionally enhanced by feed additives, which stimulate the rumen functions.…”
