The maximum specific methanogenic activity (SMA) of a sludge originating from a brewery wastewater treatment plant on the
degradation of glucose was investigated at various levels of sulfate on a specific loading basis. Batch experiments were conducted in
serum bottles at pH 7 and 35℃. A comparison of the values indicates that the SMA of this mixed culture was increased and reached its
highest level of 0.128 g CH4 gas COD/(g VSS·d) when biomass was in contact with sulfate at a ratio of 1:0.114 by weight.
