In EM bioremediation
mode, the increase in the inoculation of EM reduces the maximum
cell density. This was mainly caused by the competition of EM on
the limited availability of oxygen and nutrients (Pahl et al., 2012).
The increase in the inoculation of MA in the symbiotic MAeEM bioremediation at 3 mL EM inoculation increases the maximum
bacterial cell density due to the additional oxygen supply from MA.
