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 …

The abundance of nitrogen compounds, phosphorous compounds and organic matter in
biofloc technology (BFT) aquaculture systems creates an ideal medium for increasing …

Biological wastewater treatment processes are based on the exploitation of the concerted
activity of microorganisms. Knowledge on the microbial community structure and the links to …

Successful application of mainstream anammox would be favorable for energy-and resource-
efficient sewage treatment. This study presents a new strategy to achieve mainstream …

In this study, pyrosequencing combined with clone library analysis, qPCR, and fluorescent in
situ hybridization (FISH) were performed to identify detailed changes of bacterial and …

The current study evaluated the effect of a carbohydrate addition strategy set at two biofloc
levels on the establishment of nitrification in new biofloc technology aquaculture systems …

This study attempted to model sludge bulking in a full-scale wastewater treatment plant
operated as a 3-stage Phoredox process. Principal component analysis and a regression …

Sludge bulking is a major problem that restricts the development of the activated sludge
process. The microbial community responsible for sludge bulking varies depending on water …

Filamentous bulking is a common serious operational problem leading to deteriorated
sludge settling that has long been observed in activated sludge biological wastewater …

Bacteriophages can influence the bacterial community through specific infection and lysis.
However, there are no studies on the viral community composition or its relationship with the …
