Improving methane production from lignocellulosic biomass pre-treated with anaerobic fungi
Two anaerobic fungi (AF) strains, isolated from faeces of an elephant and of a sheep, were assessed for their ability to degrade lignocellulosic biomass. The effects on biogas production of anaerobic fungi from both animal species were determined in two step batch experiments. The hydrolysis process...

| Summary: | Two anaerobic fungi (AF) strains, isolated from faeces of an elephant and of a sheep, were assessed for their ability to degrade lignocellulosic biomass. The effects on biogas production of anaerobic fungi from both animal species were determined in two step batch experiments. The hydrolysis process during the AF incubation led to an initial increase of biogas production, an accelerated degradation of dry matter and an increased concentration of volatile fatty acids. Thus, a separate hydrolytic pre-treatment phase with anaerobic fungi, represents a feasible strategy to improve biogas production from lignocellulosic substrates. |
