Molecular biology and modeling analysis reveal functional roles of propionate to acetate ratios on microbial syntrophy and competition in electro-assisted anaerobic digestion
Abstract
This study examined the significance of propionate to acetate (HPr/HAc) ratios on microbial syntrophy and competition in microbial electrolysis cell-assisted anaerobic digestion (MEC-AD). In addition to molecular biology and phylogenetic analysis, a numerical MEC-AD model was developed by modifying Anaerobic Digestion Model No.1 to predict the effects of different HPr/HAc ratios (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and 5). The HPr/HAc ratios of 0.5 and 1.5 …
