Sequencing batch membrane biofilm reactor for simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal: novel application of membrane-aerated biofilm.

abstract：:In large-scale mammalian cell culture, the key toxic by-products assessed and monitored are lactate and ammonia. Often no distinction between the two isoforms of lactate is made. Here, we present profiles of both D- and L-lactate. D-Lactate is the end molecule of the methylglyoxal pathway. D-Lactate unlike L-lactate i...
