dc.description.abstractConductive materials (CM) enhance methanogenesis, but there is no clear correlation between conductivity and faster methane production (MP) rates. We investigated if MP by pure cultures of methanogens (Methanobacterium formicicum, Methanospirillum hungatei, Methanothrix harundinacea and Methanosarcina barkeri) is affected by CM (activated carbon (AC), magnetite), and other sustainable alternatives (sand and glass beads, without conductivity, and zeolites (Zeo)). The significant impact of the materials was on M. formicicum as MP was significantly accelerated by non-CM (e.g., sand reduced the lag phase (LP) duration by 48 %), Zeo and AC (LP reduction in 71 % and 75 %, respectively). Conductivity was not correlated with LP reduction. Instead, silicon content in the materials was inversely correlated with the time required for complete MP, and silicon per se stimulated M. formicicum's activity. These findings highlight the potential of using non-CM silicon-containing materials in anaerobic digesters to accelerate methanogenesis.en
