Abstract

Bacteria present in UASB-reactors (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket reactors) are immobilized in granules. These granules were grown in a 5 1. laboratory scale UASB-reactor with ethanol as the sole carbon and energy source. Bacteria were isolated from these granules to investigate the importance of different physiological groups of bacteria in the granule formation process. The syntrophic growth and the ability to form aggregates were studied with one of the isolated strains.
