Abstract

The sorption of organic compounds by inactive microbial biomass was investigated. The sorption isotherms were linear over the range of concentrations studied. The linear partition coefficients (K_p) were directly related to organic carbon content of the biomass. Octanol/water partition coefficient is a much better predictor of extent of adsorption on biomass than aqueous solubility.
