The impact of mecoprop herbicide 2-(2-methyl-4-chlrophenoxy)-propionic acid [(RS)-MCPP] under different COD:SO42− ratios of 8, 2 and 1, utilizing sulphate as the terminal electron acceptor was examined in an anaerobic membrane bioreactor. Results showed the predomination of sulphate reducing bacteri...
