Biofilm Thickness Influences Biodiversity in Nitrifying MBBRsImplications on Micropollutant Removal

In biofilm systems for wastewater treatment (e.g., moving bed biofilms reactorsMBBRs) biofilm thickness is typically not under direct control. Nevertheless, biofilm thickness is likely to have a profound effect on the microbial diversity and activity, as a result of diffusion limitation and thus su...
