Abstract
Lipid phosphate, which is a measure of viable biomass, was determined using biofilm samples from three different laboratory-scale reactors. The analysis procedure proposed in the literature was modified and tes ted for suitability in experiments with biofilm reactors. The microbia l contents of the biofilm studied are compared in three types of react or.
