Isolation and characterization of broad spectrum coaggregating bacteria from different water systems for potential use in bioaugmentation.

The bridging bacteria with broad-spectrum coaggregation ability play an important role during multispecies-biofilm development. In this study, through a visual and semi-quantitative assay, twenty-two bacterial strains with aggregation ability were obtained from 8 different water environments, and th...
