Fig. 1From: Establishment of microbial model communities capable of removing trace organic chemicals for biotransformation mechanisms researchWorkflow of model communities establishment. There were 3 stages with inoculum pre-adaptation (stage 1), dilution-to-extinction and microbial communities regrowth (stage 2), and TOrC biodegradation experiments for selecting model communities (stage 3). Data in parenthesis (stage 2 and 3) showed the number of selected communities/all communities derived from non-adapted P0 and pre-adapted P6 inoculaBack to article page
