Abstract: Nitrifying biofilms were grown on 3D-printed nylon with three different surface characteristics (flat, millimeter-scale indentations, and indentations with activated carbon (AC) coating) and were subjected to sequentially increasing aeration-based shear to determine the interplay between… read more here.

Abstract: In nitrifying biofilms, the organic carbon to ammonia nitrogen (C/N) supply ratio can influence resource competition between heterotrophic and nitrifying bacteria for oxygen and space. We investigated the impact of acute and chronic changes in… read more here.
