Denitrification activity of polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) in full-scale wastewater treatment plants. [PDF]
A comprehensive assessment of full-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) plants (five plants, 19 independent tests) was undertaken to determine their effectiveness in terms of aerobic and anoxic P removal.

Enhancing phosphorus removal of photogranules by incorporating polyphosphate accumulating organisms.
Photogranules are a novel wastewater treatment technology that can utilize the sun's energy to treat water with lower energy input and have great potential for nutrient recovery applications.

Characterisation of Phosphate Accumulating Organisms and Techniques for Polyphosphate Detection: A Review [PDF]
Phosphate minerals have long been used for the production of phosphorus-based chemicals used in many economic sectors. However, these resources are not renewable and the natural phosphate stocks are decreasing.

Identification and comparison of aerobic and denitrifying polyphosphate‐accumulating organisms
AbstractTwo laboratory‐scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were operated for enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) in alternating anaerobic–aerobic or alternating anaerobic–anoxic modes, respectively. Polyphosphate‐accumulating organisms (PAOs) were enriched in the anaerobic–aerobic SBR and denitrifying PAOs (DPAOs) were enriched in the ...

Multiple extracellular polymeric substance pathways transcribed by Accumulibacter and the flanking community during aerobic granule formation and after influent modification [PDF]
Aerobic granular sludge is a biological wastewater treatment process in which a microbial community forms a granular biofilm. The role of Candidatus Accumulibacter in the production of a biofilm matrix composed of extracellular polymeric substances was ...

Genome-resolved metatranscriptomics unveils distinct microbial functionalities across aggregate sizes in aerobic granular sludge [PDF]
Microbial 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
