Microbial community analysis in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket for the treatment of palm oil mill effluent

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) has been treated using various technologies, yet not many of them provide a solution for waste degradation. Microbial community structure of the waste was not fully understood. In this study, the characteristics of POME were determined. The relation of pH, total suspend...
