Analysis of microbial community composition in a lab-scale membrane distillation bioreactor

Membrane distillation bioreactors (MDBR) have potential for industrial applications where wastewater is hot or waste heat is available, but the role of micro‐organisms in MDBRs has never been determined, and thus was the purpose of this study.
