Abstract excerpt
We established a chemostat cultivation method for a mesophilic methanogenic consortium that could degrade long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) using a completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR) fed with synthetic wastewater containing oleic and palmitic acids as the carbon and energy sources. The critical dilution rate of the chemostat, in which most of the introduced LCFA were decomposed and mineralized, was 0.4 d(-1). The...
