“…The most frequently tested dark fermentation feeds are hydrolysates based on glucose and sucrose. A review of the literature [ 26 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 ] showed that for most model studies, substrate concentrations of about 10 g/L were neutral towards the slightly acidic pH of the fermentation broths. Only a few studies [ 104 ] were carried out for a pH > 7; however, as it appears from the content of the study, this is only the starting pH, which drops during fermentation due to the formation of organic acids during fermentation in a continuous UASB reactor.…”
