Functional Group Distribution of the Carrier Surface Influences Adhesion of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus

Various support carriers are used for high-density retention of methanogenic archaea in anaerobic wastewater treatment systems. Although the physicochemical properties of carrier materials and microorganisms influence the adhesion of methanogenic archaea, details about the underlying mechanism remai...
