Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a long-term analysis of the microbial community in a mesophilic agricultural biogas plant that processes various feedstocks, using advanced sequencing and profiling techniques.
- Results indicate that anaerobic digestion is highly sensitive to process variations, which can impact both the microbial community composition and activity.
- Certain microbial species adapt better to changes in conditions, suggesting that interspecies competition and physiological compensation help maintain reactor efficiency despite shifts in the microbial community.
