Sanitization of Biomass in Agricultural Biogas Plants Depends on the Type of Substrates
Large-scale pig farming is associated with the production of large amounts of animal excrement, which, after processing into the form of, e.g., slurry, are managed on agricultural land as natural fertilizers. The utilization of pig manure on agricultural land in an excessive and uncontrolled manner may pose a threat to zoonoses due to the significant ...

Heavy Metal Content in Substrates in Agricultural Biogas Plants
The content of heavy metals in soil should be continuously monitored,especially in organic crops. Exceeding the permissible concentrationsof these elements may lead not only to inhibition of plant growth butalso to ingestion into the organisms of animals that feed on these plants. Heavy metals usually enter the soil via precipitation or manure.

Analysis of propionate‐degrading consortia from agricultural biogas plants [PDF]
AbstractIn order to investigate the propionate‐degrading community of agricultural biogas plants, four propionate‐degrading consortia (Ap1a, N12, G12, and Wp2a) were established from different biogas plants which were fed with renewable resources. The consortia were cultivated in a batch for a period of 2–4 years and then analyzed in an 8‐week batch ...

Polyphasic Analyses of Methanogenic Archaeal Communities in Agricultural Biogas Plants [PDF]
ABSTRACTKnowledge of the microbial consortia participating in the generation of biogas, especially in methane formation, is still limited. To overcome this limitation, the methanogenic archaeal communities in six full-scale biogas plants supplied with different liquid manures and renewable raw materials as substrates were analyzed by a polyphasic ...

Presence and transcriptional activity of anaerobic fungi in agricultural biogas plants [PDF]
Bioaugmentation with anaerobic fungi (AF) is promising for improved biogas generation from lignocelluloses-rich substrates. However, before implementing AF into biogas processes it is necessary to investigate their natural occurrence, community structure and transcriptional activity in agricultural biogas plants.

Results of experimental studies of a small-volume biogas plant [PDF]
Utilisation of organic waste from agriculture is one of the most acute environmental problems that require immediate solution. This problem is relevant for the majority of farms and agricultural complexes, regardless of the number of animals.

Metaproteome analysis of the microbial communities in agricultural biogas plants
In biogas plants agricultural waste and energy crops are converted by complex microbial communities to methane for the production of renewable energy. In Germany, this process is widely applied namely in context of agricultural production systems. However, process disturbances, are one of the major causes for economic losses.
