Abstract excerpt
The diversity of bacterial populations colonizing spatially and temporally separated samples of the same metal-working fluid (MWF) formulation was investigated. Analyses were performed with a view to improve strategies for bioaugmentation of waste MWF in bioreactor systems and prevention of in-use MWF biodeterioration in engineering workshops. Significantly, complementary phenotypic, genotypic and in situ methods...
