Despite the abundance of bacterial species in soil, more than 99% of these species cannot
be cultured by traditional techniques. In addition, the less than 1% of bacteria that can be …

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

Recently, aerobic granular sludge technology has been scaled-up and implemented for
industrial and municipal wastewater treatment under the trade name Nereda®. With full …

Microbial communities in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play a key role in water
purification. Microbial communities of activated sludge (AS) vary extensively based on plant …

Understanding the microbiology of phosphorus (P) removal is considered essential to
knowledge-based optimization of enhanced biological P removal (EBPR) systems …

A novel simultaneous nitrification denitrification and phosphorous removal-sequencing
batch reactor (SNDPR-SBR) enriched with PAOs (phosphorus accumulating organisms) …

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

In this study, a novel process was developed by combining endogenous partial
denitrification (EPD, NO 3−-N→ NO 2−-N) with denitrifying phosphorus removal (DPR) in an …

Recently, several groups have showed the occurrence of aerobic granular sludge. The
excellent settling characteristics of aerobic granular sludge allow the design of very compact …

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS), a self-immobilized microbial consortium containing different
functional microorganisms, is receiving growing attention, since it has shown great …
