Single-Chamber Electrofermentation of Rumen Fluid Increases Microbial Biomass and Volatile Fatty Acid Production without Major Changes in Diversity

Single-Chamber Electrofermentation of Rumen Fluid Increases Microbial Biomass and Volatile Fatty Acid Production without Major Changes in Diversity

Rumen fermentation (RF) is a complex system of oxidation–reduction reactions governed by the rumen microbiota, and its end-products are the volatile fatty acids (VFAs) which constitute the main energy source for the host animal. We speculated that the process could be manipulated through electroferm...
