Lactic acid fermentation within a cascading approach for biowaste treatment
The liquid fraction of biowaste was obtained using two different pretreatment procedures. Both fractions were used as a substrate for fermentative lactic acid production using the indigenous microbiota under different conditions. Samples for DNA extraction were collected at different time points. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene (V1-V3 region) was sequenced in order to identify bacterial key players of the fermentations.
