The paper presents a critical overview of the first 50 years in the evolution of the activated
sludge process. Recognition of the role of aeration and microbial activity in the purification of …

In this study, microbial community dynamics were assessed in two lab-scale anaerobic
sequencing batch reactors (ASBRs). One of the reactors was fed by synthetic …

The presence of heavy metals in the environment can lead to ecological and health
problems. The evolution of biological systems, such as activated sludge, exposed to heavy …

This study investigated the chronic impact of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) on activated sludge
sustaining an enriched nitrifying biomass. For this purpose, a laboratory scale fill and draw …

Antibiotics often are input to biological-treatment systems for domestic sewage, and they can
inhibit nitrifying bacteria and impair nitrification performance. In this work, activated sludge …

Current study aimed to discover both kinetic and microbial response of activated sludge
biomass to continuous exposure to tetracycline, one of the most frequently detected …

Abstract Oxic-settling-anoxic (OSA) process is one of the promising variants that produces
lower amounts of sludge and has been applied to aerobic and nutrient removal systems …

This study evaluated the chronic impact of erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, on microbial
activities, mainly focusing on changes in process kinetics induced on substrate …

The study evaluated impact of sulfamethoxazole on acetate utilization kinetics and microbial
community structure using respirometric analysis and pyrosequencing. A fill and draw …

BACKGROUND This study investigated utilization kinetics of ammonia‐nitrogen induced by
chronic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) exposure on biomass with an enriched nitrifying …
