Effect of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) on the prevalence and viability of hydrogenotrophic methanogens

Anaerobic degradation of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) is essential for efficient biogas production from complex lipid-containing wastewaters. Methanogens play a key role in this process, but the general idea is that LCFA exert a toxic effect towards these microorganisms that impairs good methane re...
