They are best, of course, for carbohydrate waste. There are two suites of bacteria in these reactors, acetate producers and methanogens. The methanogens can only use little acids, up to three carbons. Presumeably, this system could be modified so that these reactors could produce the methyl halides in a scheme similar to that described in the article....then municipalities produce gasoline from wastewater!
