Abstract:Summary
We investigated the short-term dynamics of microbial composition and function in bioreactors with inocula collected from full-scale and laboratory-based anaerobic digestion (AD) systems. The Bray-Curtis dissimilarity of both inocula was approximately 10% of the predicted Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway and 40% of the taxonomic composition and yet resulted in a similar performance in methane production, implying that the variation of community composition may be decoupled from… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
