What physicochemical properties of biochar facilitate interspecies electron transfer in anaerobic digestion

A new MaREI and ERI paper, authored by MaREI Director Jerry Murphy and other MaREI reserachers, explores properties of biochar which facilitate direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET). Biochar from whiskey by-products produced at 500, 700 & 900 C. Optimum 700 C with Methanosarcina suggested shift to DIET.
