Variation of the Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Communities After Distinct Methods of Thermal Pretreatment of the Inoculum in Hydrogen-Production Reactors from Sugarcane Vinasse.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different thermal pretreatments of the inoculum on the diversity of the microbial community producing hydrogen from sugarcane vinasse. High-throughput sequencing of the 16S and 18S rRNA genes was performed. The reactor samples were also selected for the isolation of strict anaerobes.
