According to recent research published in the journal Desalination, "The current work tackles the problem of soil microbial growth and biofilm expansion assessment in infiltration percolation process in order to optimize the technique design and monitoring. Experiments were conducted on a sand filled PVC column fed at a pulsed rhythm of 8 sequences per day in order to maximize the soil aeration that generates a better oxygen renewal in the soil gas phase, enhances the oxidation of the oxidisable matters and improves sanitary performances."
"As we target the biofilm expansion study, we assessed the microbial biomass at different depths of the soil matrix (10, 25, ...
