Rubio Rincon, F.J. (author), Welles, L. (author), Lopez Vazquez, Carlos (author), Abbas, B.A. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis is in general presented as the dominant organism responsible for the biological removal of phosphorus in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants. Lab-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) studies, usually use acetate as carbon source. However, the complexity of the carbon sources present in...journal article 2019

(author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)Populations of “Candidatus Accumulibacter”, a known polyphosphate-accumulating organism, within clade IC have been proposed to perform anoxic P-uptake activity in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) systems using nitrate as electron acceptor. However, no consensus has been reached on the ability of “Ca. Accumulibacter” members of...journal article 2019

(author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)The concentration of sulphate present in wastewater can vary from 10 to 500 mg SO<sub>4</sub> <sup>2−</sup>/L. During anaerobic conditions, sulphate is reduced to sulphide by sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Sulphide generation is undesired in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Previous research indicated that SRB are inhibited by the...journal article 2017

(author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)Thiothrix caldifontis was the dominant microorganism (with an estimated bio-volume of 65 ± 3%) in a lab-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) system containing 100 mg of sulphide per litre in the influent. After a gradual exposure to the presence of sulphide, the EBPR system initially dominated by Candidatus Accumulibacter...journal article 2017

(author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of a culture highly enriched with the polyphosphate-accumulating organism, “Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis” clade IIC, to adjust their metabolism to different phosphate availabilities. For this purpose the biomass was cultivated in a sequencing batch reactor with acetate and...journal article 2017
