Dear Biogas List,

I have been testing a plastic (LLDPE) floating drum digester with cow dung and found that the biogas production was lower than expected... I discovered that our dung supplier had recently used the antibiotic Tetracycline for a few of his cows...


     Effect of oxytetracycline on biogas production and active
     microbial populations during batch anaerobic digestion of cow manure

Abstract: "...Control serum bottles [in 120 mL serum bottles for 30 days with a working volume of 40 mL] produced 255 ± 13 mL biogas, whereas 50--60 % inhibitions were obtained for the serum bottles operated with samples collected for the 5 days after medication."
