Startup and performance of a gas-permeable-membrane-supported (GPMS) biofilm system using a mixed culture of methylotrophs to degrade methylene chloride, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride

Creator:

Ely, Roger L.

Abstract:

The methane monooxygenase (MMO) enzyme, used by methylotrophs to oxidize methane, has been shown to possess quite broad substrate specificity, being able to oxidize many organic compounds including n-alkanes, n-alkenes, ethers, and aromatic, alicyclic, and heterocyclic compounds. In this research, it was sought to determine whether a gas-permeable-membrane-supported (GPMS) biofilm...
