different. With nitrate the highest speed was achieved, followed by fumarate. The development of
other cultures was lower, measured both by their doubling time and by absorbance
maximum reached. Archaea and bacteria were found in all consortia, including some
not previously described as respirators of the substrates in which they were detected in this
job. Less...
