Distribution and role of Coprothermobacter spp. in anaerobic digesters

J Biosci Bioeng. 2012 Nov;114(5):518-20. doi: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2012.05.023. Epub 2012 Jun 23.

Abstract

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.
