Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are polyesters accumulated by numerous prokaryotes as
storage materials; they attract attention as “green” alternatives to petrochemical plastics …

The enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process has been implemented in
many wastewater treatment plants worldwide. While the EBPR process is indeed capable of …

Written by experts in the field, this thoroughly updated third edition covers commonly used
and emerging suspended and attached growth reactors. Drawing on their extensive …

This paper reviews microbiological and biochemical aspects of the enhanced biological
phosphate removal (EBPR) process. The discussion includes: microorganisms responsible …

Activated sludge systems are designed and operated globally to remove phosphorus
microbiologically, a process called enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). Yet …

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is one of the best-studied microbially
mediated industrial processes because of its ecological and economic relevance. Despite …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are the polymers of hydroxyalkanoates that accumulate as
carbon/energy or reducing-power storage material in various microorganisms. PHAs have …

Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) by mixed cultures has been widely studied in
the last decade. Storage of PHA by mixed microbial cultures occurs under transient …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable bioplastics formed from renewable
resources, like sugars, with similar characteristics of polypropylene. These bioplastics are …

Members of the genus Tetrasphaera are considered to be putative polyphosphate
