## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Anaerobic digestion is an alternative technology to achieve the dual benefits of hydrogen production and waste stabilization from kitchen wastes. In this work, the butyric acid stress on anaerobic sludge was investigated in order to improve the tolerance of sludge agains
Improved production of butyrate (up to 19 g/l) from whey by Clostridium butyricum was achieved by adding either yeast extract (5 g/l) or biotin (50 ΞΌg/l). Hydrolysed lactose and proteolysed whey were less effective even with added biotin.
