A survey of the composition and diversity of bacterial populations in bleached kraft pulp-mill wastewater secondary treatment systems.

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial community compositions from 10 pulp- and paper-mill treatment systems were compared using both traditional and molecular techniques. 16S-RFLP (Random Fragment Length Polymorphisms) analysis was used to examine the genotypic profiles of the whole bacterial community of each treatment system. Although all the communities shared approximately 60% of their DNA band pattern, as determined by...
