Effects of sludge inoculum and organic feedstock on active microbial communities and methane yield during anaerobic digestion

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a widespread microbial technology used to treat organic waste and recover energy in the form of methane (biogas). While most AD systems have been designed to treat a single input, mixtures of digester sludge and solid organic waste are emerging as a means to improve effic...
