GROWTH BODIES FOR IMMOBILIZING MICROORGANISMS

摘要

The invention relates to growth bodies for immobilizing microorganisms, especially for use in wastewater treatment plants, comprised of a matrix in which a biologically degradable substrate is incorporated. The matrix is comprised of a biologically degradable biopolymer which can degrade considerably slower than the substrate, and the substrate is imbedded in said biopolymer in the form of interspaced particles.
