Xerophytic phytoplankton as an anaerobic fermentation substrate
Author(s): D. Lopez-Gonzalez*
(Baumann K et al ., 2020) From leftover microalgae biomass obtained from either a lipid-based biofuel process or wastewater treatment, anaerobic digestion can be used to make methane biogas. Due of their potential for robustness in large-scale open pond production, halophytic microalgae are being considered for use in the production of biofuel. Halophytic microalgae biomass would be difficult to digest anaerobically due to high salinities that are uncommon in anaerobic digestion settings. (Austin RS et al ., 2011) As a viable substrate feedstock for anaerobic digestion, halophytic microalgae biomass would have salinities greater than 3.5%, which are frequently observed in marine environments. The first step of the study described here examines changes made in the bacterial population as a result of the anaerobic digestion of piggery effluent, which is a problem with the anaerobic dige..
