Environmental Distribution and Population Biology of Candidatus Accumulibacter, a Primary Agent of Biological Phosphorus Removal [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2008 Summary Members of the uncultured bacterial genus Candidatus Accumulibacter are capable of intracellular accumulation of inorganic phosphate in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal, but were also recently ...

Endogenous metabolism of Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis under various starvation conditions
Water Research, 2007 The endogenous processes of Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis (referred to as Accumulibacter), a known polyphosphate-accumulating organism (PAO) responsible for enhanced biological phosphorus removal systems (EBPR), were characterized during 8-day ...

New insight into the granule formation in the reactor for enhanced biological phosphorus removal [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 While granulated activated sludge exhibits high productivity, the processes of granule formation are incompletely studied. The processes of granule formation and succession of communities were investigated in a laboratory sequencing batch reactor (SBR ...

Exploring the Shift in Structure and Function of Microbial Communities Performing Biological Phosphorus Removal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 A sequencing batch reactor fed mainly by acetate was operated to perform enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). A short-term pH shock from 7.0 to 6.0 led to a complete loss of phosphate-removing capability and a drastic change of microbial ...

Genome-resolved metatranscriptomics unveils distinct microbial functionalities across aggregate sizes in aerobic granular sludge [PDF]
Environmental Science and EcotechnologyMicrobial aggregates of different sizes in aerobic granular sludge (AGS) systems have been shown to exhibit distinct microbial community compositions. However, studies comparing the microbial activities of different-sized aggregates in AGS systems remain

Modelling the metabolism of the polyphosphate-accumulating organism Candidatus Accumulibacter
Wastewater resulting from human activities must be treated to minimize the impact on the receiving ecosystems. One of such potential impacts in lakes and other water bodies is eutrophication, an excessive increase in their nitrogen and phosphorus content.
