The Roles of Porous Coral Sands in Initial Enrichment of Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria
The purpose of this study was to investigate the roles of coral sands in the enrichment and isolation of ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). We hypothesized that the porous coral sands provided additional surface area and nutrients for the growth of periphytic AOB. In the present study, an orthogonal...
