Distribution and role of Coprothermobacter spp. in anaerobic digesters
The distribution of Coprothermobacter spp. was investigated in seven anaerobic digesters using 16S rRNA gene-based quantitative PCR. The largest number of Coprothermobacter spp. cells was found in a thermophilic anaerobic digester treating dairy cow manure. (C) 2012, The Society for Biotechnology, Japan. All rights reserved.
