Abstract
A respirometric method for measuring kinetic constants of activated sludge microorganisms by means of a simple respirometer was developed and tested by using two types of mixed culture. It has been found that both the maximum substrate removal rate and the half-velocity coefficient are basically lower with the mixed cultures cultivated in a completely-mixed reactor /filamentous/ than with those cultivated in a selector-type reactor /nonfilamentous/.Keywords
