- | We are developing a mathematical model which describes the degradation of naphthenic acids (NAs) by ''Pseudomonas putida'' and ''Pseudomonas fluorescens'' in a biofilm in a drip flow reactor. We will use the plug flow model to describe the continuous flow of NAs inside the reactor. | + | We are developing a mathematical model which describes the degradation of naphthenic acids (NAs) by ''Pseudomonas putida'' and ''Pseudomonas fluorescens'' in a biofilm in a drip flow reactor under aerobic conditions.
