Description
Résumé:Biochemical methane potential (BMP) assays, typically used to assess anaerobic biodegradability of liquid wastes with added nutrients and bacteria, were adapted to compare hydrolysis of lignocellulosic material under sulfidogenic and methanogenic environments. A method based on selective inhibition of microorganism activity, by 3% toluene, was used to measure the hydrolysis rate of lignocellulosic material and the accumulation of sugar. The neutral sugars, galactose, glucose, and xylose, which were released from lignocellulosic material such as office paper and newspaper in the presence 3% toluene, clearly accumulated over time under sulfidogenic conditions. The accumulation rates of sugars, glucose, and xylose, were higher in the sulfidogenic condition than in the methanogenic condition, indicating a faster degradation of lignocellulosic materials under the sulfidogenic condition
