“…The similarity coefficients are frequently used to study the coexistence of species or the similarity between samples obtained at different conditions and constitutes a first approach to estimate the diversity of bacterial species. A matrix of similarity coefficients, either between species or locations, is used to analyze changes in microbial populations over time or at different locations [25]. Jaccard's index is one of the most useful and widely used indices to determine similarity between binary samples.…”

“…Many techniques are available to identify the microorganisms that are involved in a biological process (such in biofiltration systems), but the most commonly used today are those based on molecular biology. These techniques can detect and identify microorganisms based on certain molecular markers that can be used to identify microorganisms that degrade or transform pollutants [25].…”

Aims:The aims of this work were 1) To evaluate the performance of a submerged biofiltration system for the treatment of a surfactant-enriched wastewater that had been generated by a soil washing process. 2) To evaluate the effect of the flux and organic load over the performance of the system. 3) To determine the microbial evolution as an effect of the flux at different lengths of the biofilter by using a denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis. Study Design: A three factorial design was used to evaluate the effect of different fluxes and organic loads over the performance of a continuously operated submerged aerobic biofilter. The DGGE technique was employed to determine microbial changes in the biofilter.
