Effect of biological activated carbon filter depth and backwashing process on transformation of biofilm community
Next Previous
Abstract
We studied BAC biofilm during the process of initial operation and backwash. Microbial diversity decreased gradually with the increase of BAC filter depth. Proteobacteria dominated at the phylum level among the BAC biofilm samples. α-proteobacteria increased about 10% in all carbon filter depth after backwash.
