Decolourisation And Cod Reduction Of Methylene Blue And Dye Wastewater Using Sphingomonas Paucimobilis by Hasnam, Che Noraini Che

“…In addition, scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed the secretion of exopolysaccharides (EPS) by S. paucimobilis cells on exposure to dye that showed a probable physiological defence mechanism to ensure controlled diffusion of dye molecules into cellular structures. The experiment were performed under steady state conditions to determine the kinetic coefficients such as growth yield (Y), specific biomass decay (Kd), maximum specific substrate utilisation (K), saturation constant for substrate (Ks), maximum specific biomass growth rate (μmax), and critical retention time (θc). …”
