The results of the start-up of two digesters in mesophilic and thermophilic conditions, together with its steady results at several organic loading rates are described. A kinetic study is also carried out which allows one to estimate the ultimate methane production, together with the first-order kinetic constant. Operation at thermophilic temperature yields better results as it allows a more loaded reactor and the methane production is slightly higher.

ABSTRACT Although biotic interactions among members of microbial communities have been conceived to be crucial for community assembly, it remains unclear how changes in environmental conditions affect microbial interaction and consequently system performance. Here, we adopted a random matrix theory-based network analysis to explore microbial interactions in triplicate anaerobic digestion (AD) systems, which is widely applied for organic pollutant treatments. The digesters were operated with incremental organic loading rates (OLRs) from 1.0 g volatile solids (VS)/liter/day to 1.3 g VS/liter/day and then to 1.5 g VS/liter/day, which increased VS removal and methane production proportionally. Higher resource availability led to networks with higher connectivity and shorter harmonic geodesic distance, suggestive of more intense microbial interactions and quicker responses to environmental changes. Strikingly, a number of topological properties of microbial network showed significant (P < 0.05) correlation with AD performance (i.e., methane production, biogas production, and VS removal). When controlling for environmental parameters (e.g., total ammonia, pH, and the VS load), node connectivity, especially that of the methanogenic archaeal network, still correlated with AD performance. Last, we identified the Methanothermus, Methanobacterium, Chlorobium, and Haloarcula taxa and an unclassified Thaumarchaeota taxon as keystone nodes of the network. IMPORTANCE AD is a biological process widely used for effective waste treatment throughout the world. Biotic interactions among microbes are critical to the assembly and functioning of the microbial community, but the response of microbial interactions to environmental changes and their influence on AD performance are still poorly understood. Using well-replicated time series data of 16S rRNA gene amplicons and functional gene arrays, we constructed random matrix theory-based association networks to characterize potential microbial interactions with incremental OLRs. We demonstrated striking linkage between network topological features of methanogenic archaea and AD functioning independent of environmental parameters. As the intricate balance of multiple microbial functional groups is responsible for methane production, our results suggest that microbial interaction may be an important, previously unrecognized mechanism in determining AD performance.
