Profiling temporal dynamics of acetogenic communities in anaerobic digesters using next-generation sequencing and T-RFLP

Abstract Acetogens play a key role in anaerobic degradation of organic material and in maintaining biogas process efficiency. Profiling this community and its temporal changes can help evaluate process stability and function, especially under disturbance/stress conditions, and avoid complete process...
