Measuring the DNA concentration for two groups of microorganisms, which play a major role in methane formation: the group of so-called “ASG-Syntrophics” and the methanogenic microorganisms. These markers indicate a malfunction before other indicators even give a hint.
Methane formation requires not only the methanogenic microorganisms but also those bacteria providing the necessary primary products. E.g. hydrogenotrophic methanogenes, often prevalent in high-throughput fermenters, depend on elementary Hydrogen delivered directly to their cell walls. This task is carried out by so-called “syntrophic” bacteria.
AMODIA has identified a group of selected syntrophics (ASG: AMODIA syntrophic group) which react sensitive to disorders in the fermentation process. Thus this marker indicates a malfunction before other indicators give a hint.
In the AiF-sponsored project “FerMiQ” AMODIA has developed and established a detection system for these ASG-bacteria (qPCR) which allows to absolutely quantify the DNA concentration of these syntrophics. The result of this analysis comes within one workday after receiving the sample.
The full interpretation of this data requires knowledge of the physicochemical parameters of the fermenter. This analysis should be applied after consultation with the operator of your fermenter.
