Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a unique process where different microbial species decompose organic materials in the absence of oxygen. AD has been widely practiced in full-scale facilities all over the world. Several AD techniques have been applied to convert livestock manures, waste waters, and solid lignocellulosic waste into biogas. Among the different conversion processes of biomass, biological AD gains importance because of its economical and efficient way of recovering carbon in the form of renewable biogas fuel. Despite the progress in the engineering of AD systems, pretreatment, microbiology, and reactor configurations create challenges for further advancements in the operation of AD. The complex microbial activities involved create constraints on the understanding of the interdependency of the metabolomic versatility of trophic species.
