Assessment of bacterial and structural dynamics in aerobic granular biofilms
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Aerobic granular sludge is based on self-granulated flocs forming mobile biofilms with a gel-like consistence. Bacterial and structural dynamics from flocs to granules were followed in anaerobic-aerobic sequencing batch reactors fed with synthetic ...

Development of microbial communities in biofilm and activated sludge in a hybrid reactor
Scientific Reports, 2022 Microorganisms play a key role in biological wastewater treatment. The form in which biomass develops determines the efficiency and mechanisms of organic compound conversion, due to different conditions in various microbial structures.

Phage encoded H-NS: a potential achilles heel in the bacterial defence system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The relationship between phage and their microbial hosts is difficult to elucidate in complex natural ecosystems. Engineered systems performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR), offer stable, lower complexity communities for studying phage ...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Microbial Nitrogen Cycling Genes in Arctic Streams
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid climate change, with thawing permafrost and shifts in vegetation altering nitrogen (N) delivery into streams. These changes can significantly affect microbial biofilm diversity and functional roles, yet knowledge of streambed microbial biofilms remains scarce across the Arctic.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.Excess loads of nitrogen and phosphorus in agriculturally impacted watersheds alter microbial metabolism in sediments. A multi‐omic investigation found nitrate reduction coupled to sulphur oxidation was prominent where inorganic fertilisers were dominant, whilst a manure‐impacted site revealed biomarkers of nitrosative stress due to incomplete ...
