Abstract

Biogas production through co-digestion of second and third generation substrates is an environmentally sustainable approach. Green willow biomass, chicken manure waste and microalgae biomass substrates were combined in the anaerobic digestion experiments. Biochemical methane potential test showed that biogas yields of co-digestions were significantly higher compared to the yield when energy willow was the sole substrate. To scale up the experiment continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSRTs) are employed, digestion parameters are monitored. Furthermore, genome-centric metagenomics approach was employed to gain functional insight into the complex anaerobic decomposing process. This revealed the importance of Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes phyla as major bacterial participants, while Methanomicrobia and Methanobacteria represented the archaeal constituents of the communities. The bacterial phyla were shown to perform the carbohydrate hydrolysis. Among the representatives of long-chain carbohydrate hydrolysing microbes Bin_61: Clostridia is newly identified metagenome assembled genome (MAG) and Bin_13: DTU010 sp900018335 is common and abundant in all CSTRs. Methanogenesis was linked to the slow-growing members of the community, where hydrogenotrophic methanogen species Methanoculleus (Bin_10) and Methanobacterium (Bin_4) predominate. A sensitive balance between H2 producers and consumers was shown to be critical for stable biomethane production and efficient waste biodegradation.
