Abstract

An improved mathematical model of methanogenesis of glucose is evolved on the basis of novel kinetic experiments. In reference to our previous model, the improved one additionally includes growth and metabolism of the fourth group of microorganisms, so-called obligate proton reducers, and some regulations dealing with these bacteria. The parameter values of the model have been calculated, sufficiently describing the experimental regularities. The improved model is especially advantageous for describing the experiments with high initial substrate concentrations. The additional model experiments revealed some principal factors of methanogenesis.
