Investigating the microbiology and microbial processes involved during the anaerobic degradation of high strength industrial wastewaters by Venkatakrishnan, Harish

“…Understanding the role of these communities poses a challenge mainly due to following factors: a) Limited findings which correlate process performance with community dynamics of both acidogens and methanogens, b) Differing responses of microbes to different substrates and process parameters. Therefore the major objective of this project was to observe microbial community dynamics and its impact on process performance by using molecular microbial techniques to track community development and changes.…”
