The effect of shear strength measured in agitation rate ranging from 50 to 800rpm on physical properties and metabolism of microbial cells was investigated using activated sludge flocs. The response of microbial cells to varying external shear strength was monitored in terms of sludge particle size, settling properties, cell surface hydrophobicity, and metabolic behavior measured as carbon dioxide...
