Up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket bioreactor for the production of carboxylates: effect of inocula on process performance and microbial communities by Adrián Lago, Silvia Greses, Inés Moreno, Cristina González-Fernández

“…As a consequence of the operational conditions (25 ºC, pH = 5.5-6, organic loading rate (OLR) = 3 gCOD·L-1·d-1 and hydraulic retention time (HRT) = 10 d), the microbial communities changed from those typical for biogas production to those specialised in the production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs). Indeed, the highest bioconversion efficiency (70.1%) was obtained with BGS, where uncultured Eubacteriaceae family microorganisms (56.0%) prevailed, enhancing the production of butyric acid (59.5 ± 2.4%w/w). …”
