A Pseudomonas putida 54G biofilm was grown on toluene vapor supplied as the sole external carbon and energy source in a flat plate biofilm reactor. Enumerations of cells in the biofilm were made using culture techniques (selective and nonselective for toluene) and microscopic techniques (total and r
Excess biomass accumulation and activity loss in vapor-phase bioreactors (VPBs) can lead to unreliable long-term operation. In this study, temporal and spatial variations in biomass accumulation, distribution and activity in VPBs treating toluene-contaminated air were monitored over a 96-day period.
Particle Peclet numbers ranging from 0.056-O. 198 were calculated from tracer response measurements in a three-phase fluid&d bed consisting of air, water, and alginate beads. Diffusion of the calcium chloride tracer into the beads was measured and found to follow Fick's Law. If unaccounted for, intr
