Metataxonomic characterization of an autochthonous and allochthonous microbial consortium involved in a two-stage anaerobic batch reactor applied to hydrogen and methane production from sugarcane bagasse

Peracetic acid (PAA)-based pretreatment effectively improves medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) production from sewage sludge

“…PAA pretreatment significantly enriches functional microorganisms, i.e., those associated with hydrolysis, acidification, and CE, with their abundances rising from 18.3% to 39.7%. Paraclostridium , positively associated with substrate hydrolysis and MCFAs production [ 16 , 42 ], dominates in experimental groups, i.e., 12.2% for 20 mg PAA per g TSS and 12.9% for 25 mg PAA per g TSS, versus 0.5% in the control. Clostridium is a common SCFAs producer and a typical CE microorganism [ 43 ], whose abundance significantly increases with PAA dose, i.e., from 10.0% to 17.9%.…”

Advancing Energy Recovery from Sugarcane Leaf via Two-Stage Anaerobic Digestion for Hydrogen and Methane Production: Impacts on Greenhouse Gas Mitigation and Sustainable Energy Production

“…To address this challenge and enhance hydrogen production from lignocellulosic biomass without the need for pretreatment, various studies have explored the effects of different inoculum sources. Furthermore, for maximizing energy recovery, many researchers have taken a step further by utilizing VFAs as carbon sources for methane production [9][10][11][12]. This approach represents a promising avenue for improving the overall efficiency of bioconversion processes in renewable energy production.…”
