Fig 1. VFA profiles over the course of the 1-L batch experiment: a) reactor B1; b) reactor B2; c) reactor B3; d) reactor B4. The embedded images correspond to the VFA composition for each reactor.
Fig 2. Soluble protein and TAN concentration in 1-L batch experiment: a) B1 and B2; B) B3 and B4.
Fig 3. Fed-batch experiment: a) VFA profile of reactor FB1; the embeded image corresponds to the VFA composition. b) VFA profile of reactor FB2; the embeded image corresponds to the VFA composition. c) Protein consumption and TAN concentration. d) Cumulative gas production and pH.
Fig 4. VFA profiles of the semi-continuous experiment: a) reactor SC1; b) reactor SC2; c) reactor SC3; d) reactor SC4.
Fig 5. Soluble protein, TAN, gas produciton and pH of semi-continuous experiment: a) Soluble protein and TAN concentrations of reactors SC1 and SC2. b) Gas production and pH of reactors SC1 and SC2; gas produciton data represent the CO2, H2 and CH4 produced during each of SC2 feeding cycle. c) Soluble protein and TAN concentrations of reactors SC3 and SC4. d) Gas produciton and pH of reactors SC3 adn SC4; gas production data represent the CO2, H2 and CH4 produced during each of SC4 feeding cycle.
Fig 6. Percentage of sequences assigned to order; the embedded plot is the sequences assigned to the genus level for the Clostridiales order: a) reactor SC3; b) reactor FB2.
