Abstract
The experimental conditions selected (addition to assay medium of micr onutrients, macronutrients and pH control), the experimental design an d the procedure for maximum acidogenic and methanogenic activity deter mination tests in thermophilic biomass, are presented. The proposed te sts are highly reproducible and can be carried out in a short space of time. Specific tests are applied to measure the maximum acidogenic an d methanogenic activities in lab-scale anaerobic reactors treating win e-distillery wastes in the thermophilic range (55 degrees C).
