The effect of biochar on microbial community during anaerobic digestion
Alkaline biochar was added to the anaerobic co-digestion of poultry litter with wheat straw to examine its effect on the microbial community of the anaerobic sludge. The sludge in the initial stage (Initial), and the sludge after the digestion including the control (no biochar addition), and the treatment (Biochar) were compared in microbial community composition using 16S rRNA sequencing.
