The effect of addition of algae to activated sludge as active biomass in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) and electro-MBRs (e-MBRs) for wastewater remediation was examined in this study. The performances of Algae-Activated Sludge Membrane Bioreactor (AAS-MBR) and electro Algae-Activated Sludge Membrane Bioreactor (e-AAS-MBR) were compared to those observed in conventional MBR and e-MBR, which were previously… Continue reading Wastewater treatment and fouling control in an electro algae-activated sludge membrane bioreactor
This study aimed at understanding how bacterial communities fluctuate and correlate with wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) efficiency over a ten-month period. Illumina sequencing of 16 s rRNA gene variable regions was performed on genomic DNA extracted from aeration tank samples collected twice a week and analyzed using the Bioinformatics Tool Quantitative Insights into Microbial Ecology… Continue reading Correlation between bacterial community structure and performance efficiency of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant
