Abstract:BACKGROUNDThis study investigates the performance of microbial inoculants by exploring pollutant removal efficiency, microbial viability and substrate removal kinetics for treating polluted surface water. The morphological, elemental composition and biochemical characterization of inoculants were analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (FESEM‐EDX) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques. The identification of bacterial strains in polluted fe… Show more
