The dynamics of the microbial communities in a two-liquid phase partitioning bioreactors (TPPBs) for treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was investigated. The TPPBs were set up in 0.5 L stirred reactors using silicone oil (at 10% v/v) as the non-aqueous liquid (NAL) phase and hexane as t...
