GROWTH KINETICS OF THE FILAMENTOUS MICROORGANISM SPHAEROTILUS NATANS IN A MODEL SYSTEM OF A FOOD INDUSTRY WASTEWATER

摘要

Bulking by Sphaerotilus natans has been attributed to several factors such as low dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin, wastes with high C:N ratois and phosphorus limitation; however, the occurrence of bulking has been reported in fruit, vegetable, meat and poultry wastewaters in which the ratio C:N is variable.
