Advanced Measurement Cells For Automated Quantification of Biodegradative Microbial Oxygen Uptake in Fluid, Semi-Solid and Solid Media

ABSTRACT

In the late nineteenth century, scientists first noticed that microorganisms consumed oxygen while decomposing organic wastes. Since then, oxygen uptake measurements have been used as a measure of the treatment of wastewaters.
