Inoculum composition determines microbial community and function in an anaerobic sequential batch reactor
Abstract: The sustainable recovery of resources from wastewater streams can provide many social and environmental benefits. A common strategy to recover valuable resources from wastewater is to harness the products of fermentation by complex microbial communities. In these fermentation bioreactors high microbial community diversity within the inoculum source is commonly assumed as sufficient for the selection of a functional microbial community. However, variability of the product profile obtained from these bioreactors…

“…Whether such bacteria are initially present in the incoming feed is a matter of future investigation. Similar observations were made in an earlier study that demonstrated how the incoming feed shapes the microbial community structure in anaerobic digesters [49], through the use of different microbial inoculants. Our study here argues that the microbial community present in the incoming feed is influenced by local environmental conditions, which consequently play important roles in shaping the microbial community in anaerobic digesters.…”

“…The three fecal sample used in the experiment evolved differently during the fermentation, resulting in differences in cultured families or genera. The influence of the initial complex microbial community was previously demonstrated in batch fermentation cultures ( Perrotta et al, 2017 ; Van den Abbeele et al, 2018 ). The fermentation led to dissimilarities between the cultured samples and baselines, a phenomenon that was previously observed in a comparable 24-well in vitro fermentation system ( O’Donnell et al, 2018 ).…”

“…The parameter also shows high sensitivity on the CH 4 production. It is important to note that the significant change occurs in the yield coefficient , and this was expected because the microorganisms adapt their metabolism in each batch, 52 that is, in each batch operation, the methanogenic microorganisms adapt to increase CH 4 production. While the variation of the parameter K A is associated with the affinity that the acidogenic microorganisms present to the substrate S 2 , these variations are reflected in the process performance.…”
