The methanotrophic potential in sewage treatment sludge was investigated. We detected a diverse aerobic methanotrophic community that potentially plays a significant role in mitigating methane emission in this environment. The results suggest that community structure was determined by conditions specific to the processes in a sewage treatment plant.
本研究调查了污水处理污泥中的产甲烷潜力。我们检测到了一个多样化的好氧产甲烷菌群,该菌群可能在减轻该环境中的甲烷排放方面发挥重要作用。结果表明,群落结构是由污水处理厂特定工艺条件决定的。
