Abstract
Our research revealed the microbial network of the LCE reactor microbiome for n- caproate production at high concentrations, which will provide a foundation for designing or engineering the LCE reactor microbiome to recover n -caproate from organic waste streams in the future. In addition, the hypothetical model of the reactor microbiome that we proposed may offer guidance for researchers to find the underlying microbial mechanism when they encounter low-efficiency n -caproate production from the LCE process.
