The efficiency of anaerobic digestion could be increased by promoting microbial retention
through biofilm development. The inclusion of certain types of biofilm carriers has …

Biofilm-based reactors are effectively used for wastewater treatment but are not common in
biogas production. This study investigated biofilm dynamics on biofilm carriers incubated in …

A study of the influence of carbon source composition on microbial biofilm development
under mesophilic conditions was carried out on two pilot lab scale anaerobic fluidized bed …

To evaluate the impact of the nature of the support material on its colonization by a
methanogenic consortium, four substrata made of different materials: polyvinyl chloride, 2 …

This study proposes an approach to understand biofilm formation in polyphasic anaerobic
digestion systems. The objective was to better control biofilm formation in order to reduce the …

This work aims at establishing a coupling anaerobic-aerobic biofilm within a single
bioreactor and revealing its microbial community and succession. By using a semi …

Ultrastructural examinations were performed on biofilms from eight anaerobic fixed-bed
reactors filled with various packing materials and operated on fresh swine waste. By using …

Methane yield ([Formula: see text]) is the result of the balance between the flows of organic
carbon to catabolism and anabolism in methanogenic ecosystems. In anaerobic biofilm …

This study aims at evaluating the mechanisms of biofilm detachment with regard of the
physical properties of the biofilm. Biofilms were developed in Couette–Taylor reactor under …

Several single dose studies found that biochar was an effective additive promoting
methanogenesis in anaerobic digestion. However, little attention was paid to the continuity …
