Modelling the Metabolic Shift of Polyphosphate-Accumulating Organisms

open access: yesWater Research, 2014
Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is one of the most important methods of phosphorus removal in municipal wastewater treatment plants, having been described by different modelling approaches. In this process, the PAOs (polyphosphate accumulating organisms) and GAOs (glycogen accumulating organisms) compete for volatile fatty acids uptake ...

Metabolic Shift of Polyphosphate-Accumulating Organisms With Different Levels of Polyphosphate Storage [PDF]

open access: yesWater Research, 2012
Previous studies have shown that polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) are able to behave as glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs) under different conditions. In this study we investigated the behavior of a culture enriched with Accumulibacter at different levels of polyphosphate (poly-P) storage.

Could Polyphosphate-Accumulating Organisms (PAOs) Be Glycogen-Accumulating Organisms (GAOs)?

open access: yesWater Research, 2008
Polyphosphate (poly-P) is known to be a key compound in the metabolism of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs). In this study, a sludge highly enriched (80%) in Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis (hereafter referred to as Accumulibacter), a widely known PAO, was used to study the ability of these microorganisms to utilize acetate anaerobically

The Effect of pH on the Competition Between Polyphosphate-Accumulating Organisms and Glycogen-Accumulating Organisms

open access: yesWater Research, 2005
In enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) processes, glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs) may compete with polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) for the often-limited carbon substrates, potentially resulting in disturbances to phosphorus removal.

The Impact of Aeration on the Competition Between Polyphosphate Accumulating Organisms and Glycogen Accumulating Organisms

open access: yesWater Research, 2014
In wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), aeration is the major energetic cost, thus its minimisation will improve the cost-effectiveness of the process. This study shows that both the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and aerobic hydraulic retention time (HRT) affect the competition between polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) and glycogen ...

Incorporating Microbial Ecology Into the Metabolic Modelling of Polyphosphate Accumulating Organisms and Glycogen Accumulating Organisms

open access: yesWater Research, 2010
In the enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process, the competition between polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAO) and glycogen accumulating organisms (GAO) has been studied intensively in recent years by both microbiologists and engineers, due to its important effects on phosphorus removal performance and efficiency. This study addresses

The Effect of Substrate Competition on the Metabolism of Polyphosphate Accumulating Organisms (PAOs)

open access: yesWater Research, 2014
The type of carbon source present in the wastewater is one factor that affects the competition between polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAO) and glycogen accumulating organisms (GAO) and therefore, the efficiency of the enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process. This study investigated the impact of the carbon source composition on the

Sulfide inhibition on polyphosphate accumulating organisms and glycogen accumulating organisms: Cumulative inhibitory effect and recoverability.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2023
Sulfate in wastewater can be reduced to sulfide and its impact on the stability of enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is still unclear. In this study, the metabolic changes and subsequent recovery of polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs)
