Abstrakt: Corn starch processing wastewater (CSPW) is a high-strength organic wastewater and biological treatment is considered as the dominant process. The present work investigated the effects of pH on the bioenergy production and spatial succession of microbial community in an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) treating CSPW. The results showed that above 90.5% of COD removal and above 16.6 L d -1 of methane were achieved at the influent pHs of 8.0 and 7.0 under organic loading rate of 4.0 kg COD·m -3 ·L -1 condition. Further decreasing the influent pH to 6.0 resulted in the COD removal decreased to 89.7%. Besides, 9.2 L d -1 of hydrogen and 13.0 L d -1 of methane were obtained. There was significant difference in the volatile fatty acids profiles during the variation of pH. Illumina Miseq sequencing showed that Clostridium, Ethanoligenens, Megasphaera, Prevotella and Trichococcus with relative abundance of 2.1%∼28.1% were the dominant hydrogen-producing bacteria in C1. Methanogens (Methanothrix and Methanobacterium) dominated in the last three compartments. Function predicted analysis revealed that the abundance of metabolic-related gene families containing carbohydrate, amino acids and energy in the last three compartments were higher than that in C1. A deduced biodegradation model of CSPW in ABR revealed that the anaerobic sludge in C1 mainly produced hydrogen. Microbial population in C3 was responsible for COD removal and methane production. The redundancy analysis revealed that hydrogen production was highly correlated with some hydrogen-producing bacteria in C1, whereas methane production was positively correlated with microbial group in C2∼ C4.
