Anaerobic digestion (AD), which relies on a complex microbial consortium for efficient biogas generation, is a promising avenue for renewable energy production and organic waste treatment. However, understanding and optimising AD processes are challe...
Biogas yield in anaerobic digestion (AD) involves continuous and complex biological reactions. The traditional linear models failed to quantitatively assess the interactive effects of these factors on AD performance. To further explore the internal r...

Anaerobic digestion has been defined as a competitive approach to facilitate the recycling of corn stalks. However, few studies have focused on the role of direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) pathway in the acidification stage under the addi...

A Mexican staple food prepared with corn "tortilla" (Zea mays L.) and common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is named as "taco". It was fermented in an in vitro colonic Simulator of Human Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®) to evaluate the effect in short cha...
The gut-brain axis (GBA) is a biochemical link that connects the central nervous system (CNS) and enteric nervous system (ENS). Clinical and experimental evidence suggests gut microbiota as a key regulator of the GBA. Microbes living in the gut not o...
Data-driven models are suitable for simulating biological wastewater treatment processes with complex intrinsic mechanisms. However, raw data collected in the early stage of biological experiments are normally not enough to train data-driven models. ...

Early detection of small-magnitude faults in anaerobic digestion (AD) processes is a mandatory step for preventing serious consequence in the future. Since volatile fatty acids (VFA) accumulation is widely suggested as a process health indicator, a V...
The objectives of this study were (1) to predict ruminal pH and ruminal ammonia and volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations by developing artificial neural networks (ANN) using dietary nutrient compositions, dry matter intake, and body weight as inp...
The main objective of this work was to develop a controller for biogas production in continuous anaerobic fixed-bed reactors, which used effluent total volatile fatty acids (VFA) concentration as control input in order to prevent process acidificatio...
The performance of a laboratory-scale anaerobic bioreactor was investigated in the present study to determine methane (CH4) content in biogas yield from digestion of organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW). OFMSW consists of food waste, veg...
