Analysis of biofilm bacterial communities under different shear stresses using size-fractionated sediment

Abstract Microorganisms are ubiquitous in aqueous environments and are crucial for biogeochemical processes, but their community structures and functions remain poorly understood. In this paper, a rotating reactor was designed to study the effects of substrata and flow conditions on sediment bacteri...
