“…Clostridium, Sporanaerobacter, Thermacetogenium, Leuconostoc, Bacillus and Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas, Listonella, Rhodospirillum, Thiomicrospira, Providentia, Klebsiella, Schineria, Escherichia, Enterobacter, Empedobacter, and Flavobacterium were found to be predominant in anaerobic LBRs. Genera that are capable of degrading various substrates, such as Pseudomonas, are present in large numbers in LBRs (1,2,15,28). Flavobacterium and Rhodospirillum degrade mostly proteins and are expected to be present in proteinaceous wastes (28).…”
