In most natural environments as well as in engineered environments, such as wastewater
treatment plants, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) experience fluctuating substrate …

It has long been assumed that differences in the relative abundance of taxa in microbial
communities reflect differences in environmental conditions. Here we show that in the …

Traditional cultivation-based methods to quantify microbial abundance are not suitable for
analyses of microbial communities in environmental or medical samples, which consist …

Partial nitritation was stably achieved in a bench-scale airlift reactor (1.5 L) containing
granular sludge. Continuous operation at 20° C treating low-strength synthetic wastewater …

Nitrification is a core process in the global nitrogen cycle that is essential for the functioning
of many ecosystems. The discovery of autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) within …

Ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) have long been considered key to the removal of
nitrogen in activated sludge bioreactors. Culture‐independent molecular analyses have …

Biological nitrification (that is, NH3→ NO2−→ NO3−) is a key reaction in the global nitrogen
cycle (N-cycle); however, it is also known anecdotally to be unpredictable and sometimes …

The objective of this work was to identify relevant wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)
parameters and underlying microbial processes that influence the biotransformation of a …

Mainstream partial nitritation/anammox (PN/A), coupled with excess biological phosphorus
removal, in a 200,000 m3/d step-feed activated sludge process (Train 2) in the Changi Water …

This study aims at demonstrating the feasibility of using microalgae-bacteria consortia for the
treatment of the sidestream flow of the supernatant from blackwater dewatering (centrate) in …
