Microbial diversity and dynamic in anaerobic digestion system producing caproate
The main objectives of this work were to: 1) investigate the feasibility of caproate production from anaerobic digestion of food waste without the addition of external electron donors; 2) evaluate the effect of external electron donors (ethanol and hydrogen) supplementation on caproate synthesis from food waste fermentation liquor; and 3) characterise microbial community dynamics during caproate production.
