Biogas potential was assessed in mesophilic anaerobic digestion batch tests over a period of 20 days. The cumulative biogas yield (CBY) of Chlorophyta and Cyanoprocaryota was respectively 396.21 mL/g Volatile Solids (VS) and 382.45 mL/g VS. Bacillariophyceae digestion showed lower biogas production of 357.07 mL/g VS. The highest cumulative methane yield (CMY) of 241.25 mL CH 4/g VS was recorded for Cyanoprocaryota biomass, which was signifi cantly higher (p<0.05) than the other two types of microalgae. The highest methane content in biogas of 63.08% was observed with Cyanoprokaryota. Chemical composition of biomass as well as biogas productivity are infl uenced by algal taxonomy.}, type={Article}, title={Comparison of biogas production from anaerobic digestion of microalgae species belonged to various taxonomic groups}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/115789/PDF/Arch_vol46_pp33_40.pdf}, doi={10.24425/aep.2020.132523}, keywords={biogas, C/N ratio, methane, microalgae, taxonomy}, }
