Recent advances in removing phosphorus from wastewater and its future use as fertilizer (1997-2003).
Luz E. de-Bashan,Yoav Bashan +1 more
TL;DR: This comprehensive review summarizes the current status in phosphorus-removal technologies from the most common approaches, like metal precipitation, constructed wetland systems, adsorption by various microorganisms either in a free state or immobilized in polysaccharide gels, to enhanced biological phosphorus removal using activated sludge systems, and several innovative engineering solutions.

TL;DR: A metagenomic analysis of two lab-scale EBPR sludges dominated by the uncultured bacterium, “Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis,” sheds light on several controversies in EBPR metabolic models and provides hypotheses explaining the dominance of A. phosphatis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The microbiology of biological phosphorus removal in activated sludge systems.
TL;DR: The history of EBPR, the currently available biochemical models, the structure of the microbial communities found in EBPR systems, possible identities of the bacteria responsible, and the evidence why these systems might operate suboptimally are looked at.

Activated sludge model No. 3
TL;DR: In this article, the Activated Sludge Model No. 3 (ASM3) is proposed to predict oxygen consumption, sludge production, nitrification and denitrification of activated sludge systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing activated sludge with oligonucleotides specific for proteobacteria: inadequacy of culture-dependent methods for describing microbial community structure.
TL;DR: Community structures determined with molecular techniques were compared with the composition of the heterotrophic saprophyte flora isolated on nutrient-rich medium and culture-dependent community structure analysis of activated sludge produced partial and heavily biased results.

Model of the anaerobic metabolism of the biological phosphorus removal process: Stoichiometry and pH influence
TL;DR: A structured metabolic model, based on glycogen as the source of the reduction equivalents in the anaerobic phase and the effect of the pH on the energy requirement of the uptake of acetate, is developed and explains the experimental results satisfactorily.

Development of an rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probe specific for the genus Acinetobacter and its application for in situ monitoring in activated sludge.
TL;DR: In this article, a genus-specific 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probe was developed to investigate the role of Acinetobacter spp. in anaerobic and aerobic compartments of a sewage treatment plant with enhanced biological phosphate removal.
