Microbiological Problem Solving

A schematic example of the integrated, interdisciplinary approach of ABS to solving Microbiological problems is shown in Figure 1 for a biomass problem in a wastewater treatment system. Selection Pressures ultimately determine the health, effectiveness and efficiency of the biomass. The key to unraveling the interaction between this complex bundle of Selection Pressures is a sound understanding of the "Workforce" - the bacteria - and how these microbes respond, adapt and change to the different Selection Pressures.
