TL;DR: In this paper, the authors attempted to enhance sulfidogenic activity via sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) enrichment and minimize organic carbon loss by methanogen inhibition in a two-stage anaerobic digestion system (TSADS).

TL;DR: The bacterium KN-15 was the fastest-growing thermophilic rod-shaped methanogen among the isolates reported under low NaCl concentration, and had a specific growth rate of 0.62 h −1 .

TL;DR: The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain HA was closely related to Methanosaeta harundinacea 6Ac and 8Ac(T), with sequence similarity of 98% and 97%, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for detecting a methanogen and an acid forming bacterium, which exist in the treated sludge obtained by subjecting organic waste, waste water or the like to methane fermentation and are related to methanation, was provided.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for detecting a methanogen and an acid forming bacterium, which exist in the treated sludge obtained by subjecting organic waste, waste water or the like to methane fermentation and are related to methanation, and evaluating the activity of the methanogen and consequently to provide an adequate operation management index of a methane fermentation apparatus and a method for controlling a process. SOLUTION: The method for controlling an anaerobic treatment process is characterized in that the ratio of a volatile organic acid forming rate to a methanation rate in a methane fermentation system is kept equal to or lower than 10.0.

TL;DR: Strain RK-23 grew with different carbon sources, but acetate was found to be the most beneficial carbon source for the production of methane and bioflocculants and it was believed that the bridging of adsorption is the main bioflocculation mechanism in this study.
