Landfill leachate, generated from the wastes in a landfill, is a type of wastewater with high
concentrations of ammonia and organics, causing a serious environmental pollution …

Summary 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes for eubacteria (EUB338), ammonium-
oxidizing bacteria (Nsm156) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (Nb1000) were used for the rapid …

Previous research suggested that two major groups of polyphosphate-accumulating
organisms (PAOs), ie, Ca. Accumulibacter and Tetrasphaera, play cooperative roles in …

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

The most common activated sludge operating problems causing poor plant performance are
related to solids separation. Especially common are bulking and foaming. Without a proper …

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 …

The application of modern molecular techniques has led to the identification, in situ
quantification, and partial ecophysiological characterisation of bacteria responsible for …

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

Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) via the nitrite pathway and anaerobic–
anoxic‐enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) are two processes that can …
