The use of the biofilms is a promising technology for the treatment of hazardous and toxic wastes. In this study, biofilms are grown aerobically, acclimatized to anaerobic environment and used to degrade polychlorinated biphenlyls (PCBs).Biofilms are grown aerobically in three-phase fluidized bed re...
