Effectiveness of tetrahydrofuran at enhancing the 1,4-dioxane degradation ability of activated sludge lacking prior exposure to 1,4-dioxane

1,4-dioxane (DX) is a contaminant of emerging concern in water environments. The enrichment of DX-degrading bacteria indigenous to activated sludge is key for the efficient biological removal of DX in wastewater. To identify an effective substrate, which enables the selective enrichment of DX-degrad...
