Appraisal of the important PAO and GAO communities of fullscale EBPR wastewater treatment systems
The current study collectively assessed the abundance and diversity of all proposed PAO and GAO in 18 Danish fullscale wastewater treatment  plants with biological nutrient removal over a period of 9 years using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The microbial community structure in all plants exhibited a large temporal stability during this period. Evidence for the role of the proposed PAO and GAO in EBPR varies and is critically assessed, in light of their calculated amplicon abundances, to indicate which of these are important in full-scale systems.
