The traditional biological nitrogen removal (BNR) follows the conventional scheme of
sequential nitrification and denitrification. In recent years, novel processes such as …

It is now clear that several of the filamentous bacteria in activated sludge wastewater
treatment plants globally, are members of the phylum Chloroflexi. They appear to be more …

Efforts to understand the environmental and biological factors that influence the dynamics of
microbial communities have received substantial attention in microbial ecology. In this study …

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the activated sludge process on the
