Abstract
Treatment of anaerobic granules with heat and two chemical treatments, contacting with 2-bromoethanesulfonate (BES) and with BES+Chloroform, were applied to suppress hydrogen-consuming microorganisms. Three mesophilic expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactors - RHeat, RBES and RBES+Chlo - were inoculated with the treated sludges and fed with synthetic sugar-based wastewater (5 gCODL−1, HRT 20-12h). Morphological integrity of granules and bacterial communities were assessed by quantitative image analysis and 16S rRNA gene based techniques, respectively. Hydrogen production in RHeat was under ...
