Growth and Break-Up of Methanogenic Granules Suggests Mechanisms for Biofilm and Community Development

Methanogenic sludge granules are densely packed, small, spherical biofilms found in anaerobic digesters used to treat industrial wastewaters, where they underpin efficient organic waste conversion and biogas production. Each granule theoretically houses representative microorganisms from all of the...
