Fig. 3From: Construction of synthetic anti-fouling consortia: fouling control effects and polysaccharide degradation mechanismsSodium alginate biodegradation by SAC under aerobic conditions. (a) Removal of SA by SAC over 74 h. (b) first-order kinetic model foe degradation of SA. All experiments were conducted in triplicates with an initial OD595 of 0.17 for the SAC.Back to article page
