Influence of short- and long-term exposure on the biodegradation capacity of activated sludge microbial communities in ready biodegradability tests

Ready biodegradability tests (RBTs) are extensively used to screen the potential of chemicals to be biodegraded. The use of RBT protocols often results in large variations of test results that may lead to wrong interpretations. The present study aims to obtain a fundamental understanding of this var...
