Successful bioaugmentation of an activated sludge reactor with Rhodococcus sp. YYL for efficient tetrahydrofuran degradation

•Rhodococcus sp. YYL is an efficient tetrahydrofuran-degrading strain.•Strain YYL was used to augment an activated sludge system for THF degradation.•Successful bioaugmentation was achieved only by coinoculation of strain YYL and the two bacilli.•Successful bioaugmentation of the system resulted in...
