abstract = {Escherichia coli colonies were grown on different supports for the removal of nitrates from
water. A carbon material and different commercial metal oxides, such as SiO2
, TiO2 and Al2O3
, and
their corresponding carbon–metal oxide composites were studied. The physicochemical properties
were analyzed by different techniques and the results were correlated with their performance in the
denitrification process. Developed biofilms effectively adhere to the supports and always reach the
complete reduction of nitrates to gaseous products. Nevertheless, faster processes occur when the
biofilm is supported on mesoporous and non-acid materials (carbon and silica).},
