Effects of Aspergillus niger inoculum concentration upon the kinetics of starchy wastewater pretreatment in a tanks-in-series bioreactor under transitory conditions

This paper discusses the effects of three Aspergillus niger inoculum concentrations (0.12, 2.3 and 3.6 g/l) upon the kinetics of starch pretreatment under aerobic and transitory conditions using a tanks-in-series reactor. A synthetic wastewater containing starch as model polysaccharide was fed into...
