Microelectrodes were used to measure oxygen profiles and local mass transfer coefficient profiles in biofilm clusters and interstitial voids. Both profiles were measured at the same location in the biofilm. From the oxygen profile, the effective diffusive boundary layer thickness (DBL) was determine
## Abstract Biofilm systems have been extensively used for treating different types of wastewater. Difficulty in determination of microbial mass in fixedโfilm reactors has been always the greatest problem in evaluating effects of loading rates on the microbial population in such reactors. For this
