Bacterial biofilms are often defined as communities of surface-attached bacteria and are
typically depicted with a classic mushroom-shaped structure characteristic of Pseudomonas …

Nitrogen-removal granular sludge (NRGS) is a promising technology in wastewater
treatment, with advantages of efficient nitrogen removal, less footprint, lower sludge …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that can be harmful and/or beneficial,
depending on location and cell content. Since in most cases (such as the formation of …

The retention of dense and well-functioning microbial biomass is crucial for effective
pollutant removal in several biological wastewater treatment technologies. High solids …

Co-aggregation of anaerobic microorganisms into suspended microbial biofilms
(aggregates) serves ecological and biotechnological functions. Tightly packed aggregates of …

Advances in null-model approaches have resulted in a deeper understanding of community
assembly mechanisms for a variety of complex microbiomes. One under-explored …

Municipal wastewater constitutes the largest fraction of wastewater, and yet treatment
processes are largely removal-based. High-rate anaerobic digestion (AD) has …

Spatial organization is the norm rather than the exception in the microbial world. While the
study of microbial physiology has been dominated by studies in well-mixed cultures, there is …

This paper presents the study concerning long-term effects of a full scale hydrocyclone unit
