Physiological heterogeneity in biofilms and granules used in wastewater treatment

Biofilms and granules have been studied in the treatment of wastewater. This project has carried out various experiments and analysed the relationships between the properties of cells like their membrane potential, respiration activity and viability using luminescence spectrometer. CTC was used to d...
