Isolation and application of an ibuprofen-degrading bacterium to a biological aerated filter for the treatment of micro-polluted water
Next Previous
Abstract
• An ibuprofen-degrading strain, Serratia marcescens BL1, was isolated and identified. • The effects of various factors on ibuprofen degradation by BL1 were evaluated. • Strain BL1 was applied to a laboratory-scale biological aerated filter system. • Strain BL1 was stable in both static tests and in the biological aerated filter system.
