Abstract An outdoor experiment was conducted to study the competitionbetween Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) and Methanogenic Archaea (MA) in anaerobictreatment phase of tannery wastewater treatment in pilot-scale Advanced FacultativePond (AFP). The relative electron flow towards sulphate reduction was higher (59–83%) than towardsmethanogenesis (17–41%), although the COD recovery within thereactor varied between 15 and 90%. The results also demonstrated that the flow of electrons towards SRBincreased with increase of the sulphate concentration and decrease of the COD : SO4 = ratio.
