Project description:We present a data set of four metagenomes and 281 metagenome-assembled genomes describing the microbial community of a laboratory-scale high solids anaerobic digester. Our objective was to obtain information on the coding potential of the microbial community and draft genomes of the most abundant organisms in the digester.
Project description:We sequenced the metagenome of a pilot-scale thermophilic digester with long-term, stable performance on poultry litter feedstock which has a very low C/N ratio, a high ammonia level, and high lignocellulose content. Firmicutes were the dominant phylum (68.9%). Other abundant phyla included Bacteroidetes, Euryarchaeota, and Thermotogae This microbiome represents a hydrogenotrophic methanogenic community with high diversity.
Project description:Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism as an “old school” but reliable technique for swift microbial community screening in anaerobic digestion
