Microbial degradation of a tetramethylarsonium salt during incubation at 25 "C was investigated under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Two media (1/5 ZoBell 22163 and inorganic salt medium), added with the sediments or suspended substances as the sources of the microorganisms, were used. Degra

Abstract
This paper focuses on a new granulation study area where a mixture of suspended anaerobic and aerobic cultures was used as seed. Mixed suspended anaerobic and aerobic cultures exposed to alternating anaerobic/microaerobic/aerobic conditions developed granulates up to 2.5 mm in size. The granules developed displayed both oxygen uptake (3.83–8.75 mg dissolved oxygen g^−1^ volatile suspended solids h^−1^) and methanogenic activities (7.5 cm^3^ CH~4~ d^−1^) comparable to those of aerobic and anaerobic control cultures, respectively. Oxygen doses of 60, 100 and 120% of the total chemical oxygen demand added (23, 38 and 45 cm^3^) and ethanol (among ethanol, glucose, acetic acid, and glucose + acetic acid) resulted in the largest and the most stable granules.
