Bioreactor

TL;DR: The effectiveness of MBBR for micropollutant removal was comparable with those of activated sludge processes and MBRs, and biodegradation served as a major removal pathway for most compounds.

TL;DR: Anaerobic/aerobic batch experiments were conducted with a variety of volatile fatty (VFAs) and amino acids on two sequencing batch reactor populations displaying enhanced biological phosphorus removal, and it was hypothesized that 3HB resulted in greater P-uptake than other PHA forms such as 3HV.

TL;DR: The co-existing anaerobic fermentative bacteria with the ability to use lactate as electron donor could explain the differences between actual lactate consumption and what would be expected based solely on sulfate reduction.

TL;DR: The degradation of synthetic wastewater at short hydraulic retention times down to 1.5 h has been studied and at steady state a high quality filtrate could be obtained at different operating conditions.

TL;DR: The results suggest that electroactive bacteria could be involved in DIET with Methanosaeta species enabling co-degradation of propionate and butyrate, indicating that carbon fibers were the primary route for DIET.
