Raw 454-pyrosequencing data of bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicons of a changing bacterial community composition due to decreasing trace element concentrations. Bacterial community in labscale biogas reactor

This study aimed to observe changing bacterial community compositions due to trace element deprivation via 454-pyrosequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA gene. Two parallel operated mesobhilic lab-scale biogas reactors are compared. Substrate was DDGS supplemented with an iron additive and cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, and tungsten. After 2 weeks of parallel operation for one reactor (reactor 2) trace element supplementation was denied. For further information about these data and the study we refer to the respective research article: (preliminary title) Trace elements induce predominance among methanogenic activity in anaerobic digestion, Wintsche et al.
