Abstract excerpt
In this study, a continuous-flow UV-induced mutation (CUM) device and the CUM device coupled to a selector (CUMS) reactor were fabricated and tested for their ability to enhance the probability of obtaining populations capable of chlorinated organic biodegradation. A mixed culture of bacteria were used as the starting strain for both the CUM and CUMS processes. Populations were obtained from the CUM and CUMS...
