Limiting Factors, Enhancement and Kinetics of Biodegradation.

Abstract

Studies were conducted to establish some factors limiting biodegradation by introduced microorganisms, to devise means to overcome factors limiting biodegradation, to devise and evaluate kinetic models for biodegradation and to determine how microorganisms acquire organic pollutants not initially present in the water phase.
