“…From this point of view, an elimination only based on microorganisms seems unlikely. For sulfamethazine, a comparable elimination rate was found during aerobic manure composting (Cessna et al, 2011), whereas an anaerobic incubation of manure with primary digested sludge led to no elimination (Mitchell et al, 2013). Apparently, the matrix itself has an influence on the elimination which seems to exceed the impact of anaerobic or aerobic conditions.…”

“…There are reports that the introduction of some antibiotics [37], detergents, or heavy metals (e.g., excess copper and zinc used in animal husbandry [38,39]) of some metabolites produced internally in the AD process such as ammonia and phenolics, e.g. [40], and possibly of some mycotoxins present in silages can inhibit biogas production.…”

Agricultural biogas production in Germany - from practice to microbiology basics

Worldwide, anaerobic digestion for sanitation and utilization of the produced biogas as energy carrier have a long-standing history. Concomitantly, digested residues from biogas plants are utilized as valuable fertilizers in crop production. In Germany, guaranteed prices for electricity generated from renewable sources pushed the number of biogas plants from about 140 in 1992 to about 7,720 by the end of 2013, and the share of electricity supply from biogas close to 4.5%. In the midterm, biogas is given considerable potential to fill up the residual load from electricity generation based on wind and photovoltaic. In this review, we give an overview of the state-of-the-art of biogas technology for energy supply from agricultural inputs, based mainly on the situation in Germany. Focus is placed on the monitoring and control (M&C) of biogas plants as a means of meeting the growing demands for productivity and reliability of biogas supply. We summarize prominent factors for the stability and productivity of the anaerobic digestion (AD) process, and present latest findings about molecular biology tools, bioindicators, the 'metabolic quotient' and cDNA/DNA ratios for process analysis. In view of the large diversity of agricultural biogas installations, we discuss the cost-benefit ratio of M&C effort and equipment. In the light of the transformation of the energy system in Germany towards renewable sources ('Energiewende'), we give an outlook on prospects and concepts for the future role of biogas technology in agriculture and energy supply. We also address recent misguided developments, as the sustainable development of biogas technology in agriculture can only be realized within the ecological, economical, and social boundaries of underlying agro-ecological systems.Keywords: Agriculture; Biogas production; Process control; Engineering; Microbiology; Molecular biology; Early-warning; Energy supply on demand ReviewThe most prominent beneficial features of the anaerobic digestion (AD) process are generation of biogas as a renewable energy carrier based on solar energy stored in biomass and hygienization of the input material during the treatment. Although it turns out from the following section that making use of hygienization is invaluable and has a long-standing history, the focus of this manuscript is on energy supply from biogas. The intent is to highlight the role of biogas production in a sustainable renewable energy framework in order to counteract consequences of the unsustainable resource management in the last century. Moreover, intensifying sustainable energy use has gained particular importance since the recent catastrophes with nuclear energy.This article builds on recent reviews by Weiland [1] and Braun et al. [2] on the state of biogas production in 2010, with emphasis on the development in Germany. In the last few years, the role of biogas as envisaged in the German renewable energy concept (see 'The role of biogas within the German energy supply system' section) has fuelled respective research a...

Despite the efficacy of anaerobic digestion (AD) in stabilizing animal wastes as well as alleviating global warming associated with natural decomposition of animal manure, the process is susceptible to antibiotics that commonly exist in animal manure. Although antibiotics have served veterinary purposes in large quantities for decades, knowledge concerning their impacts on methane production during AD of animal manure is still in its infancy. Antibiotics used in animal practice are recognized as one of the major contributors to the development of resistant pathogens. Their fate and long‐term environmental impacts following land application or disposal of the animal manure into the aquatic environment, with resistance development and associated risks on human health as the primary focus, are well reviewed in many previous publications. To date, to the best of our knowledge, few efforts are made on reviewing the impacts of antibiotics on AD of animal manure and the mitigation strategies. In this review, detailed summaries of earlier and recent works conducted on the inhibition of antibiotics on AD of animal manure are presented, with special interest directed toward available and new controlling strategies in terms of technical and regulatory aspects. Finally, in view of process balance and successive operation, further research should be carried out to gain insight into dynamic interactions of antibiotics and other commonly seen coexistent inhibitors/intermediates in the AD systems.
