← ScienceWhich destabilizing outcome occurs when hydrogen sulfide concentration increases in anaerobic digester?
A)Inhibition of methanogenic archaea activity✓
B)Promotion of rapid volatile fatty acid production
C)Enhancement of nitrogen fixation pathways
D)Acceleration of cellulose hydrolysis process
💡 Explanation
When hydrogen sulfide concentration increases, sulfur poisoning occurs because it inhibits enzymes crucial for methanogenic archaea, which are essential for converting organic matter into methane. Therefore, inhibiting methanogens activity results, rather than alternatives because VFAs requires different bacteria, nitrogen fixation requires nitrogen fixing processes, and cellulolysis uses hydrolysis.
