Application of a GAC-coated hollow fiber module to couple enzymatic degradation of dye on membrane to whole cell biodegradation within a membrane bioreactor

TLDR
Additional granular activated carbon (GAC) layers on the membrane module within a whole cell fungal membrane bioreactor set up to treat dye wastewater was effective in minimizing enzyme washout and in improvement of decoloration (degradation of the dye).
