Microbiome analysis is becoming common in select municipal and service ecosystems, including wastewater treatment and anaerobic digestion, but its potential as a microbial-status-informative tool to promote or mitigate CH4 production has not yet been evaluated in landfills. Methanogenesis mediated byArchaea is highly active in solid-waste microbiomes but is commonly neglected in studies employing next-generation sequencing techniques.
