Characterization of the genetic and enzymatic potential of biogas microbiomes by meta-analysis of metagenome datasets, subproject 1 - Phylogenetical and functional species-targeted meta-analysis
Project
Project code: 22025717
Contract period: 01.08.2019
- 31.07.2022
Budget: 247,029 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Keywords: biodiversity, microbiom, biogas
In anaerobic digestion of biomass, a huge number of microbial species is involved possessing a wide variety of metabolic properties. However, a major part of the spe-cies that can be detected in biogas reactors has not been adequately characterized either in terms of its specific substance conversion properties or in terms of its re-spective ecological role within the microbiological system. Accordingly, the trophic network responsible for the degradation of crop biomass in biogas reactors is under-stood to be only piecemeal and only in terms of basic microbial processes.The aim of the project is the use of high-throughput molecular data for a detailed representation of microbial networks by means of a comprehensive bioinformatic evaluation (meta-analysis) including abiotic process factors.
