Triclosan biodegradation performance of adapted mixed cultures in batch and continuous operating systems at high-concentration levels

Pollutants like triclosan (TCS) of medium to high logKow value tend to be mainly adsorbed and poorly biodegraded during waste water treatment, complicating removal after release. Complete mineralization of TCS is crucial, since transformation products may be even more toxic, but has been proven only...
