Characteristics of carbohydrate degradation and the rate‐limiting step in anaerobic digestion
Abstract
The characteristics of the degradation of cellulose, soluble starch, and glucose in the acidogenic phase and the effects of the substrate loading rate and biological solids retention time on the methanogenic phase of anaerobic digestion were investigated. The results obtained from continuous experiments using laboratory‐scale anaerobic chemostat reactors elucidated the true rate‐limiting step of anaerobic digestion. The specific rate of substrate utilization decreased in the following order: glucose, soluble starch, acetic acid, and cellulose. The rate of the hydrolysis of cellulose was so low that this was shown to be the rate‐limiting step in overall anaerobic digestion. Among methanogenic bacteria Methanosarcina would provide a higher substrate utilization rate than Methanothrix, and the maximum allowable substrate loading rate in the methanogenic phase was 11.2 g acetic acid/L day.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
