Assessment of methanogen survival in anaerobic enrichment cultures degrading long-chain fatty acids

Long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) are generally considered highly toxic towards methanogens. However, high methane yields have been obtained from high-load anaerobic digestion of LCFA, suggesting that methanogens can tolerate these compounds. In this work, hydrogenotrophic and acetoclastic methanogens w...
