Chemical composition and activity of a biofilm during the start-up of an airlift reactor

For the successful operation of a biofilm reactor, it is important to characterise the fixed biomass, its activity and composition. The purpose of this research is to monitor the biofilm characteristics of an airlift reactor, namely its composition in terms of exopolymers (polysaccharides and protei...
