All the stages of degradation, such as hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis are characterized. Biodegradable organic matter consists of three main types of substances: carbohydrates, proteins and lipids; the metabolic pathways of their decomposition are described. The last part of the paper presents the co-digestion process, its benefits and technological parameters required to make that process attractive from an economical and environmental point of view.}, type={Article}, title={Characterization of the Biomethanization Process in Selected Waste Mixtures}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/123105/PDF/8_AE_VOL_34_3_2008_Montusiewicz_Charakterization.pdf}, keywords={biomethanization, anaerobic digestion pathways, protein degradation, lipids degradation, carbohydrates degradation, co-digestion, anaerobic digestion co-substrates}, }
