Abstract
This study demonstrates the role of colonizable surfaces in providing optimum conditions for the biodegradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP). 2,4,6TCP degrading bacteria are available in the water column; however, surfaces for bacterial attachment are important in the stream self purification process. Biodegradation occurs most readily at the sediment/water interface.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
