The biokinetic parameters for autotrophic systems are difficult to obtain and are often mistakenly determined because the size of the autotrophic population in mixed (i.e., heterotrophic and autotrophic) cultures cannot be accurately estimated. This article presents a systematic approach, combining

Formaldehyde is present in several industrial wastewaters including petrochemical wastes. In this study, the toxicity and degradability of formaldehyde in anaerobic systems were investigated. Formaldehyde showed severe toxicity to an acetate enrichment methanogenic culture. As low as 10 mg/L (0.33 m
## Abstract Simultaneous formaldehyde and methanol biodegradation and also denitrification were studied in batch assays and in a continuous laboratory‐scale reactor. In batch assays, high formaldehyde concentrations (up to 1360 mg dm^−3^) were removed under anoxic conditions in the presence of meth
## Abstract A kinetic model is used to describe the effect of the nonionic surfactant Tergitol NP‐10 (TNP10) on pentachlorophenol (PCP) biodegradation by __Sphingomonas chlorophenolica__ sp. strain RA2. Different initial biomass to initial substrate ratios ranging from 13 to 418 were tested with 23
Substrate inhibition in biodegradation processes typically leads to a maximum in the plot of specific degradation rate U [ = (CSo -C,)/C,O] versus substrate concentration C,. The Haldane equation ( 1 ) is frequently used' to interpret experimental data of this type. When an optimization is required
Many sites of environmental concern contain groundwater contaminated with nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPL). In such sites interfacial processes may affect both the equilibrium and kinetic behavior of the system. In particular, insoluble hydrocarbon partitioning and microbial biodegradation of insolub
