Anaerobic mono-digestion of wheat straw in a three-stage semi-continuous system inspired by a beetle larva gut
Based on the efficient digestive system of the larva of the sun beetle (Pachnoda marginata) in utilizing lignocellulose-rich biomass, a reactor system was designed to partially mimic processes that occur in the larval gut. We aimed developing a process with this system for anaerobic mono-digestion of wheat straw to pro...
