Role of temperature on microbial community profiles in an anaerobic bioreactor for treating PTA wastewater

Metataxonomics, metagenomics and metabolomics analysis of the influence of temperature modification in full-scale anaerobic digesters

“…The temperature effect has been mainly explored in lab-scale digesters (Lin et al, 2016b;Ma et al, 2017;Madigou et al, 2019;Regueiro et al, 2014), while the effect in full-scale digesters has barely been documented (De Vrieze et al, 2015). However, results are not directly extrapolable since volumnes in full-scale digesters volumes are larger, kinetics, feeding and mixing are different, and full-scale digesters present a more limited operational control.…”

“…At the microbiome level, the temperature effect in AD has mainly been investigated on the basis of temperature changes between mesophilic and thermophilic conditions (Banach et al, 2019;De Vrieze et al, 2015;Ma et al, 2017;Madigou et al, 2019;Westerholm et al, 2017). Conversely, the effect of switching to sub-mesophilic (<30 • C) conditions has not been much addressed (McKeown et al, 2012;Regueiro et al, 2014).…”
