Intermittent fasting for microbes: how discontinuous feeding increases functional stability in anaerobic digestion

Abstract Background Demand-driven biogas production could play an important role for future sustainable energy supply. However, feeding a biogas reactor according to energy demand may lead to organic overloading and, thus, to process failures. To minimize this risk, digesters need to be actively ste...
