| Abstract: | "This study investigated the effects and fate of CIP on anaerobic sludge over a wide range of concentrations (0.05-50?ª+mg/L), and 0.5-50?ª+mg/L significantly inhibited organic removal and methanogenic activity, increased volatile fatty acids accumulation and low molecular weight soluble microbial products (SMPs), including p-cresol and nitrogen-containing compounds. Although microbial communities exposed to CIP did not differ significantly from the control in species diversity indices, Syntrophobacter and Methanothrix associated with acetogenesis and acetoclastic methanogenesis, respectively, were underrepresented in the CIP-exposed communities. Our study advances understanding of how environmentally relevant concentrations of CIP disrupts anaerobic digestion, which has important implications for anaerobic engineered systems treating CIP-bearing waste streams" |
