C2, tap water having FTWs; T1, AMX contaminated water with FTWs; T2, AMX contaminated water having FTWs inoculated with bacteria; T3, AMX contaminated water having FTWs, bacteria, and nutrients; T4 AMX contaminated water having FTWs, bacteria and biochar; T5, AMX contaminated water having only bacteria; T6, AMX contaminated water having FTWs, bacteria, and aeration; T7, AMX contaminated water having FTWs, bacteria, aeration, nutrients, and biochar. Data are mean of triplicates (±Standard deviation is shown with mean). Values with different letters are significantly different from one another (LSD; p < 0.05).
