RESUMO
This article provides comprehensive data on degradation performance and microbial dynamics derived from a set of 24 lab-scale batch anaerobic digesters involving various types of inhibitors and the addition of zeolite as a support material. In the first series of 12 digesters, three inhibitors were investigated at the following concentrations: 20 g/L of sodium chloride, 400 mg/L of erythromycin, and 5 mg/L of S-metolachlor. Each inhibitor was tested in triplicate, along with a control condition without inhibition. A parallel series was set up identically, except that 15 g/L of zeolite was introduced into each digester to mitigate the inhibition and promote the degradation process. The provided data comprises information regarding the experimental setup, monitoring measurements that assess the degradation performance (production, composition, and apparent isotopic factor of biogas, pH, dissolved inorganic and organic carbon and volatile fatty acids concentrations), microbial samples information, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing data that decipher changes in microbial structure. This datapaper is associated with research article [1] and presents both the sequencing data and the associated physicochemical data in a structured table format. The sequencing data were generated using the Ion Torrent PGM sequencer and have been deposited in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) database at EMBL-EBI under accession number PRJEB65129 (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB65129), with sample accession numbers ranging from ERS16257742 to ERS16257691 [2]. The data serves as a valuable resource for comparisons with data from other studies on lab-scale batch anaerobic digesters, particularly those utilizing zeolite as a support material or involving inhibition caused by similar types of inhibitors (salts, antibiotics, or pesticides).
RESUMO
This article presents comprehensive data derived from lab-scale batch anaerobic digesters that were subjected to inhibition by various sources of ammonia. To counter this inhibition, zeolite was introduced into selected digesters. The provided dataset offers a detailed depiction of degradation performance dynamics over time, as well as insights into both microbial and metabolic changes during the inhibition. In detail, 10 conditions were tested in triplicate. In a first series of 15 bioreactors ammonia was introduced to achieve a TAN concentration of 8 g/L, utilizing NH3 solution, NH4Cl salt, (NH4)2CO3 salt, or (NH4)2PO4 salt as inhibitors. A control condition without ammonia was also set up. A second series of 15 bioreactors was set up exactly as the first one, with the addition of zeolite at a concentration of 15 g/L. The data provided includes information on operational conditions, degradation performance measurements throughout the entire process (using biogas production and composition, dissolved organic and inorganic carbon, volatile fatty acids, pH, free and total ammonia nitrogen, apparent isotopic fractionation of biogas as indicators), microbial community analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing (50 samples analysed), and metabolomic analysis through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) (108 samples analysed). Sequencing data were generated by using IonTorrent PGM sequencer. The sequencing data have been deposited with links to project PRJEB52324, in ENA database from EBI (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB52324). Sample accession numbers go from SAMEA14277573 to SAMEA14277621. The metabolomic data were generated using an LTQ Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, US). The metabolomic data have been deposited to the EMBL-EBI MetaboLights database with the identifier MTBLS7859 (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS7859). This data can be used as a source for comparisons with other studies focusing on the inhibition of anaerobic digestion by ammonia, particularly in the context of exploring microbial or metabolomic dynamics during inhibition. Additionally it provides a multi-omic dataset (metataxonomic and metabolomic) with detailed associated metadata describing anaerobic digesters. The dataset is directly is associated to the research article titled "Inhibition of anaerobic digestion by various ammonia sources resulted in subtle differences in metabolite dynamics." [1].
RESUMO
Data in this article provides detailed information on the microbial dynamics and degradation performances in two full-scale anaerobic digesters operated in parallel for 476 days. One of them was kept at 35 °C for the whole experiment, while the other was submitted to sub-mesophilic (25 °C) conditions between days 123 and 373. Sludge samples were collected from both digesters at days 0, 80, 177, 218, 281, 353, and 462. The provided data include the operational conditions of the digesters and the characterization of the sludge samples at the physicochemical level, indicative of the digesters' degradation performance. It also includes the characterization of the sludge samples at the multiomics level (16S rRNA gene sequencing, metagenomics, and metabolomics profiling), to decipher the changes in the microbial structure and molecular activity. The 16S rDNA gene sequencing, metagenomics, and metabolomics data were generated using an IonTorrent PGM sequencer, an Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencer, and LTQ-Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer respectively. The 16S rDNA gene raw data and the metagenomics data have been deposited in the BioProject PRJEB49115, in the ENA database (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB49115). The metabolomics data has been deposited at the Metabolomics Workbench, with study id ST002004 (DOI: 10.21228/M8JM6B). The data can be used as a source for comparisons with other studies working with data from full-scale anaerobic digesters, especially for those investigating the effect of the temperature modification. The data is associated with the research article "Metataxonomics, metagenomics, and metabolomics analysis of the influence of temperature modification in full-scale anaerobic digesters" (Puig-Castellví et al [1]).
RESUMO
Full-scale anaerobic digesters' performance is regulated by modifying their operational conditions, but little is known about how these modifications affect their microbiome. In this work, we monitored two originally mesophilic (35 °C) full-scale anaerobic digesters during 476 days. One digester was submitted to sub-mesophilic (25 °C) conditions between days 123 and 373. We characterized the effect of temperature modification using a multi-omics (metataxonomics, metagenomics, and metabolomics) approach. The metataxonomics and metagenomics results revealed that the lower temperature allowed a substantial increase of the sub-dominant bacterial population, destabilizing the microbial community equilibrium and reducing the biogas production. After restoring the initial mesophilic temperature, the bacterial community manifested resilience in terms of microbial structure and functional activity. The metabolomic signature of the sub-mesophilic acclimation was characterized by a rise of amino acids and short peptides, suggesting a protein degradation activity not directed towards biogas production.

Insights into microbiota adaptation to increased ammonia stress, and identification of indicator microorganisms can help to optimize the operation of anaerobic digesters. To identify microbial indicators and investigate their metabolic contribution to acetoclastic methanogenesis (AM), syntrophic acetate oxidation (SAO) or hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis (HM), 40 anaerobic batch reactors fed with acetate of 110 mmol/L were set up at NH4+-N concentrations of 0.14 g/L, 5.00 g/L or 7.00 g/L, inoculated with thermophilic or mesophilic microbiota with or without pre-exposure to ammonia stress. Four stable carbon isotope probing approaches were applied in parallel, with [1,2-13C]-CH3COOH, [2-13C]-CH3COOH, [13C]NaHCO3 or non-labeled CH3COOH used individually. The last three approaches were used to quantify the methanogenic pathways by tracking labeled 13C or natural 13C signatures in the resulting CH4 and CO2, and consistently detected the dynamic transition of dominant pathways from AM to SAO-HM under ammonia stress. Results of quantitative PCR and fluorescence in-situ hybridization illustrated the procedure, acetotrophic methanogens being outcompeted by acetate-oxidizing syntrophs. The first and last isotope-labeling approaches were designed to probe the active acetate-mineralizing microbes with DNA-SIP. Known acetate-oxidizing bacteria like Syntrophaceticus and Tepidanaerobacter, as well as novel members of Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Symbiobacteraceae were detected, with Methanoculleus as the predominant H2/CO2-utilizing partner. Using NanoSIMS, some bacterial cells were observed to be fixing CO2 from [13C]NaHCO3. In this study, Methanosaeta was only active with ammonia < 200 mg-N/L; the syntrophs catalyzing SAO-HM started to compete with AM-conducting Methanosarcina at intermediate concentrations of ammonia, i.e. 200-500 mg-N/L, and outcompeted the acetotrophic methanogens with ammonia > 500 mg-N/L. Under ammonia stress, diverse known and novel microbial taxa were involved in acetate mineralization, comparable with those identified in previous studies.

To limit the nitrate contamination of ground and surface water, stimulation of denitrification by electrochemical approach is an innovative way to be explored. Two nitrate reducing bio-cathodes were developed under constant polarization (-0.5 V vs SCE) using sediments and water from a constructed wetland (Rampillon, Seine-et-Marne, France). The bio-cathodes responded to nitrate addition on chronoamperometry through an increase of the reductive current. The denitrification efficiency of the pilots increased by 47% compared to the negative controls without electrodes after polarization. 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the biofilms and sediments evidenced the significant and discriminating presence of the Azoarcus and Pontibacter genera in the biofilms from biocathodes active for nitrate reduction. Our study shows the possibility to promote the development of efficient Azoarcus-dominated biocathodes from freshwater sediment to enhance nitrate removal from surface waters.

Microbial electrodes were designed in domestic wastewaters to catalyse the oxidation of organic matter (anode) and the reduction of oxygen (cathode) alternately. The successive aeration phases (cathode) enhanced the anodic efficiency, resulting in current densities of up to 6.4 Am-2 without the addition of any substrate. Using nitrogen during the anodic phases affected the microbial populations and the electrodes showed a lower ability to subsequently turn to O2 reduction than the microbial anodes formed in open-to-air conditions did. No strong difference was observed between internal and external biofilm, both of which showed a very large variety of taxa in terms of abundance as well as variance. They comprised a mix of aerobic and anaerobic species, many of which have already been identified separately in bioelectrochemical systems. Such a large diversity, which had not been observed in aerobic bidirectional bioelectrodes so far, can explain the efficiency and robustness observed here.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a promising biological process that converts waste into sustainable energy. To fully exploit AD's capability, we need to deepen our knowledge of the microbiota involved in this complex bioprocess. High-throughput methodologies open new perspectives to investigate the AD process at the molecular level, supported by recent data integration methodologies to extract relevant information. In this study, we investigated the link between microbial activity and substrate degradation in a lab-scale anaerobic codigestion experiment, where digesters were fed with nine different mixtures of three cosubstrates (fish waste, sewage sludge, and grass). Samples were profiled using 16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics. In this article, we propose a suite of multivariate tools to statistically integrate these data and identify coordinated patterns between groups of microbial and metabolic profiles specific of each cosubstrate. Five main groups of features were successfully evidenced, including cadaverine degradation found to be associated with the activity of microorganisms from the order Clostridiales and the genus Methanosarcina. This study highlights the potential of data integration toward a comprehensive understanding of AD microbiota.

Environmental biorefineries aim to produce biofuels and platform biomolecules from organic waste. To this end, microbial electrochemical technologies theoretically allow controlled microbial electrosynthesis (MES) of organic molecules to be coupled to oxidation of waste. Here, we provide a first proof of concept and a robust operation strategy for MES in a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) fed with biowaste hydrolysates. This strategy allowed stable operation at 5â¯A/m2 for more than three months in a labscale reactor. We report a two to four-fold reduction in power consumption compared to microbial electrosynthesis with water oxidation at the anode. The bioelectrochemical characterizations of the cells were used to compute energy and matter balances for biorefinery scenarios in which anaerobic digestion (AD) provides the electricity and CO2 required for the MEC. Calculations shows that up to 22% of electrons (or COD) from waste may be converted to organic products in the AD-MEC process.

In this study, an extensive characterisation of food waste (FW) was performed with the aim of studying the relation between FW characteristics and FW treatability through an anaerobic digestion process. In addition to the typological composition (paper, meat, fruits, vegetables contents, etc) and the physicochemical characteristics, this study provides an original characterisation of microbial populations present in FW. These intrinsic populations can actively participate to aerobic and anaerobic degradation with the presence of Proteobacteria and Firmicutes species for the bacteria and of Ascomycota phylum for the fungi. However, the characterisation of FW bacterial and fungi community shows to be a challenge because of the biases generated by the non-microbial DNA coming from plant and by the presence of mushrooms in the food. In terms of relations, it was demonstrated that some FW characteristics as the density, the volatile solids and the fibres content vary as a function of the typological composition. No direct relationship was demonstrated between the typological composition and the anaerobic biodegradability. However, the Pearson's matrix results reveal that the anaerobic biodegradation potential of FW was highly related to the total chemical oxygen demand (tCOD), the total solid content (TS), the high weight organic matter molecules soluble in water (SOLW>1.5 kDa) and the C/N ratio content. These relations may help predicting FW behaviour through anaerobic digestion process. Finally, this study also showed that the storage of FW before collection, that could induce pre-biodegradation, seems to impact several biochemical characteristics and could improve the biodegradability of FW.

Solid state anaerobic digestion (SSAD) with leachate recirculation is an appropriate method for the valorization of agriculture residues. Rape straw is a massively produced residue with considerable biochemical methane potential, but its degradation in SSAD remains poorly understood. A thorough study was conducted to understand the performance of rape straw as feedstock for laboratory solid state anaerobic digesters. We investigated the methane production kinetics of rape straw in relation to cellulose accessibility to cellulase and the microbial community. Improving cellulose accessibility through milling had a positive influence on both the methane production rate and methane yield. The SSAD of rape straw reached 60% of its BMP in a 40-day pilot-scale test. Distinct bacterial communities were observed in digested rape straw and leachate, with Bacteroidales and Sphingobacteriales as the most abundant orders, respectively. Archaeal populations showed no phase preference and increased chronologically.

A wide variety of inhibitory substances can induce anaerobic digester upset or failure. In this work the possibility to improve the resistance of an anaerobic microbiota to a common pollutant, the phenol, was evaluated in a lab-scale semi-continuous bioreactor. An acclimation strategy, consisting in a regular step-wise adaptation of the microbiota to stressful condition was employed. Degradation performances were monitored and molecular tools (16S sequencing and ARISA fingerprinting technique) were used to track changes in the microbial community. The acclimation strategy progressively minimized the effect of phenol on degradation performances. After 3 successive disturbance episodes, microbiota resistance was considerably developed and total inhibition threshold increased from 895 to 1942mg/L of phenol. Microbiota adaptation was characterized by the selection of the most resistant Archaea OTU from Methanobacterium genus and an important elasticity of Bacteria, especially within Clostridiales and Bacteroidales orders, that probably enabled the adaptation to more and more stressful conditions.

Performance stability is a key operational issue for anaerobic digestion (AD) and phenolic compounds are regularly mentioned as a major cause of digester failures. To get more insights into AD microbiota response to a wide range of inhibition levels, anaerobic batch toxicity assays were conducted with ten phenol concentrations up to 5.00 g/L. Final AD performance was not impaired up to 1.00 g/L. However, progressive shifts in microbial community structure were detected from 0.50 g/L. The methanogenic function was maintained along with increasing initial phenol concentrations up to 2.00 g/L thanks to the emergence of genus Methanoculleus at the expense of Methanosarcina. Within syntrophic populations, family Syntrophomonadaceae proportion was gradually reduced by phenol while Synergistaceae gained in importance in the microbiome. Moreover, at 2.00 g/L, the relative abundance of families belonging to order Clostridiales dropped, leading to the predominance of populations assigned to order Bacteroidales even though it did not prevent final AD performance deterioration. It illustrates the high level of adaptability of archaeal and bacterial communities and suggests the possibility of determining early warning microbial indicators associated with phenol inhibition.

Two parallel anaerobic digestion lines were designed to match a "bovid-like" digestive structure. Each of the lines consisted of two continuous stirred tank reactors placed in series and separated by an acidic treatment step. The first line was inoculated with industrial inocula whereas the second was seeded with cow digestive tract contents. After 3 months of continuous sewage sludge feeding, samples were recovered for shotgun metaproteomic and DNA-based analysis. Strikingly, protein-inferred and 16S ribosomal DNA tags based taxonomic community profiles were not consistent. PCA however revealed a similar clustering pattern of the samples, suggesting that reproducible methodological and/or biological factors underlie this observation. The performances of the two digestion lines did not differ significantly and the cow-derived inocula did not establish in the reactors. A low throughput metagenomic dataset (3.4 × 10(6) reads, 1.1 Gb) was also generated for one of the samples. It allowed a substantial increase of the analysis depth (11 vs. 4% of spectral identification rate for the combined samples). Surprisingly, a high proportion of proteins from members of the "Candidatus Competibacter" group, a key microbial player usually found in activated sludge plants, was retrieved in our anaerobic digester samples. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD002420 (http://proteomecentral.proteomexchange.org/dataset/PXD002420).
