QSCNAS: A platform for quorum sensing and quenching bacteria analysis in global wastewater treatment plants. [PDF]
ImetaThis study identifies the potential quorum sensing (QS) bacteria in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and constructs a QS communication network through the establishment of a local QS bacterial database with six languages and the analysis of over 1000 activated sludge microbiome samples collected from 269 WWTPs.

The microbial community in a high-temperature enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process
Sustainable Environment Research, 2016 An enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process operated at a relatively high temperature, 28 °C, removed 85% carbon and 99% phosphorus from wastewater over a period of two years.

Comparative genomics of two ‘Candidatus Accumulibacter’ clades performing biological phosphorus removal [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2013 Abstract Members of the genus Candidatus Accumulibacter are important in many wastewater treatment systems performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). The Accumulibacter lineage can be subdivided phylogenetically into multiple clades, and previous work showed that these clades are ecologically distinct.

Denitrification kinetics indicates nitrous oxide uptake is unaffected by electron competition in Accumulibacter [PDF]
Water Research, 2020 ABSTRACT Denitrifying phosphorus removal is a cost and energy efficient treatment technology that relies on polyphosphate accumulating organisms (DPAOs) utilizing nitrate or nitrite as terminal electron acceptor. Denitrification is a multistep process and many organisms do not possess the complete pathway, leading to ...

Sweet Secrets: Exploring Novel Glycans and Glycoconjugates in the Extracellular Polymeric Substances of "Candidatus Accumulibacter". [PDF]
ACS ES T WaterBiological wastewater treatment relies on microorganisms that grow as flocs, biofilms, or granules for efficient separation of biomass from cleaned water. This biofilm structure emerges from the interactions between microbes that produce, and are embedded in, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS).
