TL;DR: A mesophilic anaerobic chemostat that was continuously fed with synthetic wastewater containing propionate as the sole source of carbon and energy was constructed and it was demonstrated that rRNA genes affiliated with the genus Syntrophobacter predominated at the low dilution rate, whereas r RNA genes affiliated with the phylum Firmicutes predominated with the higher dilution rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial diversity of mesophilic methanogenic consortium that can degrade long-chain fatty acids in chemostat cultivation.
TL;DR: Bacteria belonging to the phyla Bacteroidetes and Spirochaetes, which are phylogenetically distant from known fatty-acid oxidizing bacteria, apparently predominated in the population, indicating that they play important roles in LCFA degradation within the chemostat.
