Reproducability over time of PolyFermS model inoculated with same healthy fecal donor (D3); F3 was operated 15 months after F1. PCoA plots of weighted (A) and unweighted (B) were performed based on the UniFrac distance matrix generated from sequencing V4 region of 16S rRNA genes in samples from donor’s feces and fermentation effluents of F1 (D3), F2 (D4) and F3 (D3). Each circle represents a sample from feces and effluent samples from F1 (D3) (red), F2 (D4) (orange) and F3 (D3) (purple). Bar-plot representation of the mean acetate (blue), propionate (red) and butyrate (green) concentrations (mM) (C) of PolyFermS effluent samples of inoculum reactor (IR) during stable operation phase and connection with experimental reactors (IR_F1: day 1–day 36; IR_F3: day 1–day 23); D3, donor 3; F1, fermentation 1; F2, fermentation 2; D4, donor 4; F3, fermentation 3.
