Acclimation and selection for methanesulfonic acid (MSA) degrading microbial population using continuous culture techniques

This study was undertaken to methodically acclimate, select, and enrich for MSA degrading microorganisms using continuous culture (CC) techniques, carried out over several months. Complete mineralization of MSA would produce carbon dioxide and sulfate. Hence, to achieve a precise material balance, a...

Description
Summary:This study was undertaken to methodically acclimate, select, and enrich for MSA degrading microorganisms using continuous culture (CC) techniques, carried out over several months. Complete mineralization of MSA would produce carbon dioxide and sulfate. Hence, to achieve a precise material balance, a direct Ion Chromatography method with good precision was developed for the analysis of MSA and sulfate in an activated sludge matrix.
