Qualitative Analysis of Microbial Dynamics during Anaerobic Digestion of Microalgal Biomass in a UASB Reactor

Figure 3

Microbial dynamics on phyla level in the UASB reactors (reactor 1 (a) and reactor 2 (b)) digesting microalgal biomass and sodium acetate. Phyla Armatimonadetes, Tenericutes, Actinobacteria, OD1, and Verrucomicrobia each contributed less than 1% of the total shared microbial population among all samples and were combined under the general “other” designation.
