Bacterial metabolism determines the effectiveness of biological treatment of wastewater.
Therefore, it is important to define the relations between the species structure and the …

Antibiotic residues are of significant concern in the ecosystem because of their capacity to
mediate antibiotic resistance development among environmental microbes. This paper …

The optimal operation and functional stability of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)
strongly depend on the properties of its microbial community. However, a knowledge gap …

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 …

Partial nitrification has gained broad interests in the biological nitrogen removal (BNR) from
wastewater, since it alleviates carbon limitation issues and acts as a shortcut nitrogen …

The effectiveness of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is largely determined by the
microbial community structure in their activated sludge (AS). Interactions among microbial …

Antibiotics are among the most successful group of pharmaceuticals used for human and
veterinary therapy. However, large amounts of antibiotics are released into municipal …

Understanding environmental and biological influences on the dynamics of microbial
communities has received great attention in microbial ecology. Here, utilizing large time …

Activated sludge (AS) contains highly complex microbial communities. In this study, PCR-
based 454 pyrosequencing was applied to investigate the bacterial communities of AS …

In this study, Illumina high-throughput sequencing was used to reveal the community
structures of nine coking wastewater treatment plants (CWWTPs) in China for the first time …
