Ecological fate of influent-derived microorganisms in MBR systems
This project aims to compare influent-derived microorganisms with activated sludge microorganisms in a low-temperature membrane bioreactor (MBR) treating municipal wastewater.Samples were collected from influent wastewater (Inf) , activated sludge (AS), and membrane biofilms (BF) under a range of operational and environmental conditions. In addition to 16S rRNA gene (DNA-based) sequencing, complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesized and 16S rRNA (RNA-based) sequencing was performed.This dataset enables comparative analyses of microbial community structure, activity, and growth dynamics across sample types (Inf, AS , BF), operational conditions, and nucleic acid types (DNA and RNA).
