To solve the bottleneck of the unstable accumulation of nitrite in the partial nitrification (PN)-
anammox (AMX) in municipal wastewater treatment, a novel process called partial …

Microbes exist in a range of metabolic states (for example, dormant, active and growing) and
analysis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is frequently employed to identify the 'active'fraction of …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is critical for controlling the flux of methane from
anoxic environments. AOM coupled to iron, manganese and sulphate reduction have been …

The stable operation of the partial nitritation and anammox (PN/A) process is a challenge in
the treatment of low-strength ammonia wastewater like sewage mainstream. This study …

Microbial communities are essential to the function of virtually all ecosystems and
eukaryotes, including humans. However, it is still a major challenge to identify microbial cells …

Anammox related technologies are currently widely applied for nitrogen removal from
sewage sludge digester rejection water. Nevertheless, many aspects of the anammox …

Summary 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes for eubacteria (EUB338), ammonium-
oxidizing bacteria (Nsm156) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (Nb1000) were used for the rapid …

Nucleic acid-based analytical methods, ranging from species-targeted PCRs to
metagenomics, have greatly expanded our understanding of microbiological diversity in …

The availability of fixed inorganic nitrogen (nitrate, nitrite and ammonium) limits primary
productivity in many oceanic regions. The conversion of nitrate to N2 by heterotrophic …

Biofilms associated with the human body, particularly in typically sterile locations, are difficult
to diagnose and treat effectively because of their recalcitrance to conventional antibiotic …
