Abstract Phosphorus-accumulating organisms (PAOs), which harbor metabolic mechanisms
for phosphorus removal, are widely applied in wastewater treatment. Recently, novel PAOs …

Phosphate rocks are an irreplaceable resource to produce fertilizers, but their availability will
not be enough to meet the increasing demands of agriculture for food production. At the …

The removal of phosphorus (P) from domestic wastewater is primarily to reduce the potential
for eutrophication in receiving waters, and is mandated and common in many countries …

Highlights•Among PAOs, the genera Tetrasphaera and Ca. Accumulibacter are both
important in full-scale plants.•GAOs do not appear to be a real problem in full-scale EBPR …

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is considered challenging in the tropics,
based on a great number of laboratory-based studies showing that the polyphosphate …

Abstract Tetrasphaera and Candidatus Accumulibacter are two abundant polyphosphate
accumulating organisms in full-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) …

To address the common challenges in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR)
related to stability and unfavorable influent carbon to phosphorus ratio, a side-stream EBPR …

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process is known to mainly rely on the
ability of phosphorus-accumulating organisms to take up, transform and store excess …

To understand the seasonal variation of the activated sludge (AS) bacterial community and
identify core microbes in different wastewater processing systems, seasonal AS samples …

Abstract Sidestream EBPR (S2EBPR) is an emerging alternative process to address
common challenges in EBPR related to weak wastewater influent and may improve EBPR …
