Wastewater treatment by immobilised cell systems

The immobilization of whole cells is an important technique which provides alternative solution in the field of wastewater treatment for the purification of wastewater contaminated with various materials, such as organic compounds, inorganic compounds, metals, and so on. The immobilized cells are...
