Directional Selection of Microbial Community Reduces Propionate Accumulation in Glycerol and Glucose Anaerobic Bioconversion Under Elevated pCO2

Volatile fatty acid accumulation is a sign of digester perturbation.Previous work showed the thermodynamic limitations of hydrogen and CO2 in syntrophic propionate oxidation under elevated partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2).Here we study the effect of directional selection under increasing substrate load as a strategy to restructure the microbial commu
