Affinity-based reversed micellar protein extraction: II. effect of cosurfactant tail length.

abstract：:Biological sulfate reduction was studied in laboratory-scale gas-lift reactors. Synthesis gas (gas mixtures of H(2)/CO/CO(2)) was used as energy and carbon source. The required biomass retention was obtained by aggregation and immobilization on pumice particles. Special attention was paid to the effect of CO addition ...
