Abstract The effect of pig manure mixed with rice straw on methane yield and the microbial community involved in a thermophilic (55°C) anaerobic digestion process was investigated. Three substrates composed of mixed pig manure and rice straw at different ratios (95:5; 78:22 and 65:35 w/w, which resulted in C/N ratios of 10:1, 20:1 and 30:1) were used for the experiment. The substrate type had a major influence on the total bacterial community, while the methanogens were less affected. The members of the class Clostridia (phylum Firmicutes) were predominant regardless of mixture ratio (C/N ratio), but at species level there was a major difference between the low and high C/N ratio samples. The hydrogenotrophic methanogenic genus of Methanothermobacter was predominant in all samples but higher C/N ratio sequences affiliated to the genus Methanosarcina were also detected. The appearance of Methanosarcina sp. is most likely due to the less inhibition of ammonia during the anaerobic digestion.
