Abstract
The ability of an association of micro‐organisms to degrade a range of substituted aromatic compounds was assessed. Compounds were provided as sources of carbon and energy, and degradation rates monitored. The effect of the presence of other aromatic compounds and of rapidly metabolizable substrates was also investigated. The significance of bioaugmentation of waste‐treatment processes with such an inoculum is discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
