## Abstract The microbial composition and structure of a multispecies biofilm of a laboratory‐scale trickle‐bed bioreactor for the treatment of waste gas was examined. The model pollutant was a volatile organic compound‐mixture of polyalkylated benzenes called Solvesso 100^®^. Fluorescent __in‐situ
