Biomass Production Of Aureispira Sp. Ccb-qb1 And Its Application As A Novel Bioflocculant

Bioflocculants are important to remove pollutants, especially organic particles and heavy metals from wastewater. Previous study showed that Aureispira sp. CCB-QB1 demonstrated cell aggregation when calcium ions are available. This suggested that these bacterial cells are capable to adsorb the wa...
