Abstract
Laboratory-scale upflow anaerobic sludge-bed reactors were inoculated with industrial granular sludge and fed with either propionate or propionate and sulfate. The population dynamics of the propionate-oxidizing bacteria Desulfobulbus sp. and the syntrophically growing strain SYN7 were studied in reactors by dot blot and in situ hybridization with 16S rRNA-based oligonucleotide probes.
