Interaction of microbial populations in methanogen associations and ways of increase of methane yieldin methanetanks
Abstract
The article touches upon the burning questions of environmental contamination with high-polymeric compounds. The possibility of these compounds transformation into energy carriers with the help of anaerobic methanegenic associations has been estimated. The mechanisms of interaction between certain populations of methanegenic association microorganisms have been studied. The selection of the microorganisms, which took part in the transformation of polymers into energy carriers, has been carried out. Some artificial microbial populations have been created. The influence of outer factors on the processes of intensification and increase of obtained amounts of energy carriers in the course of high-polymeric compounds transformation by anaerobic microorganisms has been studied.
