AB  -   The removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) by a pure culture of Bacillus 
      endophyticus strain immobilized on ceramic balls was studied in a packed bed 
      biofilm reactor (PBBR). The biodegradation of 2,4-DCP was studied in fed-batch 
      and continuous mode and the effect of different parameters such as hydraulic 
      retention time (HRT), biogenetic substrate concentration, and loading rate on the 
      removal of 2,4-DCP were evaluated. Field emission scanning electron microscope 
      (FESEM) results established the biofilm formation on the ceramic beads. The 
      maximum volumetric removal rate found to be 127.2 mg/L.d at loading rate of 172.8 
      mg/L.d with 73.6% degradation (12.5 hours of HRT, 90 mg/L of 2,4-DCP, 0.2 g/L of 
      peptone). The bioreactor showed more than 98% removal of 2,4-DCP at loading rate 
      of 115.2 mg/L.d at 12.5 hours of HRT and 0.2 g/L of peptone. Effect of peptone 
      showed that lower peptone concentration increases the removal efficiency; 
      however, some peptone is necessary to maintain the 2,4-DCP removal efficiency.
