Sampling and Occupational Safety
For the mini-project carried out within the scope of the internship, inoculum (inoculation material) was obtained from a biogas plant in Duderstadt to be used in biogas production. As inoculum, the liquid fraction obtained after the solid-liquid separation of biomass that underwent anaerobic fermentation at the plant was used. This liquid fraction provides a suitable starting culture for laboratory-scale biogas experiments due to its rich microbial community and nutrient content.
