What is ammonia inhibition?

sourced

High-nitrogen feedstocks release ammonia, and free ammonia inhibits methanogens. Inhibition generally begins around 1,500-3,000 mg/L total ammonia nitrogen in unacclimated systems, with free ammonia near 150-200 mg/L marking serious onset. Acclimated cultures tolerate substantially more, above 5,000 mg/L.
