Abstract

The objective of the present research is to envisage microbial assorted variety in the reactor through systems of general polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR, which can be further applied for production of methane using anaerobic reactor by employing vegetable waste as a feed. The outcomes proposed the names of species identified with the hydrolytic microorganisms, for example, Bacillus subtilis and hydrogenotrophic methanogenic archaea like i.e. Methano culleus and i.e. Methano corpusculum of the methanogenic microbes. Results demonstrated that, presence of methanogenic archaea in the reactor was confirmed using general PCR. ©
