Relative Importance of Stochastic Assembly Process of Membrane Biofilm Increased as Biofilm Aged

Relative Importance of Stochastic Assembly Process of Membrane Biofilm Increased as Biofilm Aged

The relative importance of different ecological processes controlling biofilm community assembly over time on membranes with different surface characteristics has never been investigated in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). In this study, five ultrafiltration hollow-fiber membranes – having identical nom...
