A series of dominant functional floras involved in anaerobic digestion was obtained by subculturing anaerobic sludge with specific substrates, respectively, and their specific quorum sensing signals (AHLs) were identified. It was found that most of the AHLs were secreted in starvation of the functional floras. One or two AHLs were found to have a significant positive correlation with the behavior of hydrolytic-fermentative bacteria, homoacetogens, syntrophic propionate-oxidizing bacteria, syntrophic butyrate-oxidizing bacteria and aceticlastic methanogens, respectively. Hydrogenotrophic methanogens had a various self-organization means and broader relations with the other populations, which was induced by six AHLs at least. Performance of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket in the startup process revealed that the dominant populations involved in anaerobic digestion would secret specific AHLs to induce K-strategy in resource-limited situation for reproduction and regulating their cooperation. This work presents a novel perspective on the social behaviors of microbial populations in anaerobic digestion.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) plants have been facing significant challenges in maintaining a stable long-time operation when utilizing whey permeate as feedstock. In this study, we investigated the AD performance of whey permeate under batch and semi-continuous stirred tank reactor (s-CSTR) systems to optimize the process. Biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests were initially performed in batch reactors to assess whey permeate potential as AD substrate operating at different inoculum to substrate ratios (ISRs) and pH values under mesophilic temperatures.

Lower termites produce wide array of fibrolytic enzymes and serves as prospective microbial enzymes source for enhancing biodegradability of recalcitrant ligno-cellulosic fibrous feeds. The present study was aimed to isolate and characterize anaerobic fibrolytic bacteria from gut of termite Coptotermes heimi for screening promising isolates to improve fiber digestibility in ruminants. A total of 141 isolates were obtained from 97 termite gut samples, and 24 isolates (TM1 to TM24) were selected and characterized as fibrolytic.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) expansion as a renewable energy source offers environmental benefits, such as reducing mineral fertilizer use and preserving soil organic matter. However, poor AD performance can cause greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient loss, impacting efficiency. To address this, an innovative AD process chain (ADPC) model was developed to dynamically simulate biogas production, organic matter bioaccessibility, digestate phase separation, storage, and soil application, focusing on carbon and nitrogen dynamics.

In view of the food waste (FW) as well as its digestate are both the organic sources of municipal solid waste, this study explored the anaerobic fermentation (AF) and following pyrolysis carbonization to co-disposal the two wastes for carbon resource recovery, including short chain organic acid (SCOAs), pyrolysis gas and biochar. Results indicated that both the rate and yield of SCOAs production both increase with the rising ratio of biogas sludge (BS) to FW, enhancing the soluble carbon recovery. The highest SCOAs production of 474.
