TITLE Dynamic changes in anaerobic digester metabolic pathways and microbial populations during acclimatisation to increasing ammonium concentrations JOURNAL Waste Management PAPER DOI 10.1016/j.wasman.2021.09.017 This dataset contains: Analytical data supporting the above paper The figures are as follows: Fig. 1 Selected monitoring parameters for all digesters during experimental period: (a) VFA, (b) pH, (c) IA, (d) PA, (e) IA/PA, (f) TAN, (g) VS/TS and (h) soluble COD Fig. 2 Gas production for all digesters during experimental period: (a) VBP, (b) SMP. Fig. 3 Relative abundance of archaeal groups, 14C ratio, TAN and acetic acid concentrations in digesters: (a) M2 and (b) M4 during the experimental period Fig. 4 Results based on for 14C assay and Equation (1): (a) Estimated proportion of CH4 produced by acetoclastic route for digesters M1-4 against time; (b) residual labelled acetate in 14C assay for digesters M1-4 against time; (c) Estimated proportion of CH4 produced by acetoclastic route versus residual labelled acetate in 14C assay for digesters M2 and M4; (d) Estimated proportion of CH4 produced by acetoclastic route versus relative abundance of Methanosaetaceae during transition periods in digesters M2 and M4.
