You are charged to treat industrial wastewaters such as tannery wastewater and pulp mill effluents carrying hazardous wastes.
1) How can you enhance the biodegradation of these wastewaters? List all possible options available.
2) What would be a major component of pulp mill effluents? Suggest a microorganism which may be effective in degradation of the major component.
3) What is a possible degradation mechanism for this biodegradation by the microorganism?
