Abstract
Biochar supplementation could facilitate microbial colonization and increase biogas and methane yield in anaerobic digestion (AD). This study investigated the impact of corn stover biochar (CSB) augmentation on the continuous pilot scale AD of rice straw. The CSB supplementation exhibited the daily average specific biogas and methane yield of 368.6 L/kg volatile solids (VS) and 230 L/kg VS, which were 35% and 37% higher than the control. Principle component analysis indicated that the VS reduction positively correlated with the daily average specific biogas and methane yield. Metagenomic analysis revealed that the CSB supplementation facilitated microbial colonization with the enrichment of unclassified genera from families Planococcaceae, Clostridiaceae, and Ruminococcaceae, and genus Clostridium and methanogenic archaea (Methanosarcina and Methanobacterium). The co-occurrence network revealed a notable shift in microbial interactions following the supplementation of CSB as an additive in AD. These results offer insights for enhancing the performance of the AD using CSB.
