Effect of Antibiotics on the Microbial Efficiency of Anaerobic Digestion of Wastewater: A Review

Effect of Antibiotics on the Microbial Efficiency of Anaerobic Digestion of Wastewater: A Review

Recycling waste into new materials and energy is becoming a major challenge in the context of the future circular economy, calling for advanced methods of waste treatment. For instance, microbially-mediated anaerobic digestion is widely used for conversion of sewage sludge into biomethane, fertilize...
