Analysis of the methane-producing microbial community from sorghum
Sorghum is an energy crop widely known for its adaptability, developing in soils with low fertility and water availability and at high temperatures. Thus, the biogas and methane production potential of the sorghum cultivar BRS716 was investigated in a CSTR (Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor) type reactor. The reactor was operated for 182 days, with successive increases in volumetric organic load (VOC) of 0.5 kgsv m-3reactor d-1 with sorghum.
