Other Components

Major Versus Minor Cultures

• Major Cultures

Grow rapidly

Settle well

Control the general nature of the biomass

• Minor Cultures

Produce important results

Are more difficult to maintain in the biomass

How Does Bioaugmentation Work?

• Numbers – By adding cultures regularly the minor cultures (but important cultures) gain a survival advantage (against the dominant cultures).

• Natural Genetic Interchange – Recent workindicates the possibility of transfer to the biomass of desirable and needed characteristics (but not permanently), particularly capabilities controlled by the plasmids in the cells and demanded by the conditions in the system.
