Sulfide level in municipal sludge digesters affects microbial community response to long-chain fatty acid loads

Abstract Background Waste lipids are attractive substrates for co-digestion with primary and activated sewage sludge (PASS) to improve biogas production at wastewater treatment plants. However, slow conversion rates of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA), produced during anaerobic digestion (AD), limit th...
