Microaeration has been reported to improve anaerobic digestion, which is generally attributed increased microbial diversity, but a thorough explanation lacking. In this study, it was found that intermittent microaeration (IMA) supplied an digester could oxidize Fe(II) produced by dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) form Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle and generate extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) treatment of phenol-containing wastewater. The results showed compared the control group without IMA, removal rates COD phenol 29.54 49.68 percentage points, respectively, daily average methane production 85.44%. slowed down loss (13.97%) released from sludge due lower solubility Fe(III) facilitated •OH generation (1.22 ± 0.04 μM) via Fenton-like reactions. DIR accelerated degradation. Metagenomic analysis revealed abundance methanogens antioxidant enzymes-encoding genes in response oxidative stress significantly IMA control, enabling methanogenesis proceed smoothly under microaeration. This study investigated ROS induced during digestion their roles promoting performance, thereby providing new perspective for optimizing systems with
