Dataset of anaerobic acidogenic digestion for hydrogen production using xylose as substrate: Biogas production and metagenomic data

Abstract

This paper presents the raw data of biogas production and composition (relative pressures and concentrations of each of the biogas constituents) for batch experiments to evaluate the anaerobic digestion of xylose. Also, metagenomic sequencing data and analysis were reported. All data is available at Mendeley Data. 16S DNA sequencing data and metadata is available at MG-RAST (metagenomics.anl.gov/linkin.cgi?project = 9961). For further discussion, please refer to the scientific article entitled ''Effect of acidic and thermal pretreatments on a microbial inoculum for hydrogen and volatile fatty acids production through xylose anaerobic acidogenic metabolism'' (Mockaitis et al., 2020).
