Article Synopsis
- Three organic substrates—K-medium, sterilized activated sludge (SAS), and methanol—were tested in a bioreactor to enhance manganese-oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) over 131 days.
- All three substrates effectively supported MnOB growth, with only slight variations in Mn(II) removal rates; the SAS reactor showed the highest peak removal rate but unstable performance.
- Methanol provided more consistent results and the greatest overall Mn(II) removal, while different bacterial genera contributed to manganese oxidation, influenced by the specific substrate used.
