Anaerobic digestion is the process where organic waste is broken down into biogas since it is the best way where no harm is done to the environment. Anaerobic digestion is a process where it includes four biochemical phases such as: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis. Hydrolysis is the process where the greater molecules are transformed to smaller ones. Acidogenesis is the process where hydrolytic products such as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are then turned into volatile fatty acids such as butyric acids. Acetogensis is the process where its products are converted into hydrogen as well as acetate. In this study, the methods used include an explanation of how the pathways are arbitrated from bacteria and archaea are important due to the relationship of the communities. The results that were concluded by the scientists explain that the chemical conversion such as the conversion of microbes to methane, or the conversion to acetic acid were important for the discoveries in regards to anaerobic digestion. In conclusion, anaerobic digestion is known what it is today due to the studies of the four biochemical pathways and the microbes. The authors concluded that in order to come to a final discussion, hydrogenotrophic using 30% of methane and acetoclastic uses 70% of methane which are necessary for anaerobic digestion.
