Anaerobic bacteria are being utilized for the destruction of biodegradable organic content of wastewater measured in terms of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). The yield coefficient (Y) is 0.06 gram Volatile Suspended Solids (VSS) per gram of COD. Bacterial biomass forms the sludge during the process. The proximate chemical formula of anaerobic bacteria is C6H7NO2.
