Journal ArticleDOI
Startup of reactors for anoxic ammonium oxidation: experiences from the first full-scale anammox reactor in Rotterdam.
Wouter R. L. van der Star,Wiebe Abma,Dennis Blommers,J. W. Mulder,Takaaki Tokutomi,Marc Strous,Cristian Picioreanu,Mark C.M. van Loosdrecht +7 more
TL;DR: A consistent and descriptive nomenclature is suggested for reactors in which the anammox process is employed, and Reactors with a high specific surface area like the granular sludge reactor employed in Rotterdam provide the highest volumetric loading rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges in microbial ecology: building predictive understanding of community function and dynamics
Stefanie Widder,Rosalind J. Allen,Thomas Pfeiffer,Thomas P. Curtis,Carsten Wiuf,William T. Sloan,Otto X. Cordero,Sam P. Brown,Babak Momeni,Wenying Shou,Helen Kettle,Harry J. Flint,Andreas F. Haas,Béatrice Laroche,Jan-Ulrich Kreft,Paul B. Rainey,Shiri Freilich,Stefan Schuster,Kim Milferstedt,Jan Roelof van der Meer,Tobias Groβkopf,Jef Huisman,Andrew Free,Cristian Picioreanu,Christopher Quince,Isaac Klapper,Simon Labarthe,Barth F. Smets,Harris H. Wang,Orkun S. Soyer +29 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the ability to predict and manage the function of these highly complex, dynamically changing communities is limited, and that close coordination of experimental data collection and method development with mathematical model building is needed to achieve significant progress in understanding of microbial dynamics and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical modeling of biofilm structure with a hybrid differential-discrete cellular automaton approach.
TL;DR: Quantitative two- and three-dimensional models were evaluated by introducing statistical measures to characterize the complete biofilm structure, both the surface structure and volume structure, showing the change from a compact and dense biofilm to a highly porous and open biofilm.
Journal ArticleDOI
The membrane bioreactor: a novel tool to grow anammox bacteria as free cells.
Wouter R. L. van der Star,Andreea I. Miclea,Andreea I. Miclea,Udo van Dongen,Gerard Muyzer,Cristian Picioreanu,Mark C.M. van Loosdrecht +6 more
TL;DR: In a membrane bioreactor (MBR), fast growth of anammox bacteria was achieved with a sludge residence time of 12 days, resulting in a—for anamm ox bacteria—unprecedented purity of the enrichment of 97.6%.

TL;DR: It is argued that addressing this challenge requires close coordination of experimental data collection and method development with mathematical model building, and that such integration is needed to achieve significant progress in understanding of MC dynamics and function.
