Increasing methane production from anaerobic digestion of coal is challenging. This study shows that the combined fermentation of coal and corn straw greatly enriched the substrates available to microorganisms. This was mainly manifested in the increased types and abundance of organic matter in the fermentation liquid, which enhanced methane production by 61%. Metagenomic analysis showed that the addition of corn straw enriched the abundance of Methanosarcina in the combined fermentation system and promoted the complementary advantages of the microorganisms. At the same time, the abundance of genes that convert glucose into acetic acid (K00927, K01689, K01905, etc.) in the combined fermentation system increased, which is conducive to acidification process and biomethane production. In addition, there were the two key methanogenic pathways, namely aceticlastic (57.1%–63.5%) and hydrogenotrophic (23.4%–25.1%) methanogenesis, identified in the single coal fermentation system and the combined coal and corn straw fermentation system. Combined fermentation enhanced the hydrogenotrophic and methylotrophic methanogenic pathways by increasing the gene abundance of K00200 (methane production from CO₂ and oxidation of coenzyme M to CO₂), K00440 (participates in the binding to other known physiological receptors with hydrogen as a donor), and K00577 (methyltransferase).
