The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the activated sludge process on the
abundance of anaerobic bacteria of the phylum Bacteroidetes, with special emphasis on …

Anaerobic bacteria of the genus Bacteroides are a large group of commensal
microorganisms that colonize the human and animal digestive tract. The genus Bacteroides …

A full-scale biosystem consisting of two anaerobic reactors (HA and BF1) and four aerobic
ones (BF2-BF4 and OD) in succession and receiving antibiotic-bearing (mainly …

A new medium has been adapted for the growth of Bacteroides fragilis so that its phages
can be recovered from environmental samples, and its efficiency has been assessed …

The objective of this study was to identify fecal bacteria able to persist after wastewater
treatment and that could be used as indicators of human fecal contamination. In a first step …

Membrane filtration techniques were used to enumerate Bacteroides fragilis group (BFG)
organisms and Escherichia coli in a variety of natural waters, the influents and effluents from …

The fate of diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in anaerobic digestion (AD) system
under different temperature remains largely unknow. This study employed the shotgun …

Waste activated sludge (WAS) from wastewater treatment plants is an important reservoir of
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The fate of ARGs in this process was not revealed …

The response of representative antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to lab-scale two-phase
(acidogenic/methanogenic phase) anaerobic digestion processes under thermophilic and …

The evolution of microbial community and the fate of ARGs along different full-scale
wastewater treatment processes (ie, Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic, Oxidation Ditch, and Cyclic …
