(author)Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) can be produced with municipal waste activated sludge from biological wastewater treatment processes. Methods of selective fluorescent staining with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) were developed and optimized to evaluate the distribution of PHA storage activity in this mixed culture activated sludge...journal article 2023

Pei, R. (author), Estevez Alonso, A. (author), Ortiz-Seco, Laura (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Kleerebezem, R. (author), Werker, A. (author)Municipal activated sludge can be used for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production, when supplied with volatile fatty acids. In this work, standardized PHA accumulation assays were performed with different activated sludge to determine (1) the maximum biomass PHA content, (2) the degree of enrichment (or volume-to-volume ratio of PHA...journal article 2022
