Project description:In this study we examined an anaerobic digester reactor fed with cellulose in order to identify cellulose degrading microorganisms using a culture independent approach. A metagenome was linked to the newly synthesized proteins involved by cellulose, by investigation of labelled proteins (Protein-SIP). The study aims at identifying microorganisms involved in the degradation of plant-based biomass.
Project description:In this study, we used multiple meta-omic approaches to characterize the microbial community and the active metabolic pathways of a stable industrial biogas reactor operating at thermophilic temperatures (60°C) and elevated levels of free ammonia (367 mg NH3-N/L).
