Cathodic bacterial community structure applying the different co-substrates for reductive decolorization of Alizarin Yellow R [PDF]
Selective enrichment of cathodic bacterial community was investigated during reductive decolorization of AYR fedding with glucose or acetate as co-substrates in biocathode. A clear distinction of phylotype structures were observed between glucose-fed and
