Dominance of Oscillospira and Bacteroides in the bacterial community associated with the degradation of high-concentration dimethyl sulfide under iron-reducing condition
Microbial consumption of high-concentration dimethyl sulfide (DMS) under various redox conditions was investigated with freshwater sediments as inoculum. After about 1-year cyclic static enrichment at an initi...

Analysis of the Attached Microbial Community on Mucilaginous Cyanobacterial Aggregates in the Eutrophic Lake Taihu Reveals the Importance of Planctomycetes
The phylogenetic diversity of the microbial community assemblage of the carpet-like mucilaginous cyanobacterial blooms in the eutrophic Lake Taihu was investigated. 16S ribosomal DNA clone libraries produced f...

Bioaugmentation and coexistence of two functionally similar bacterial strains in aerobic granules
The survival of the inoculated microbial culture is critical for successful bioaugmentation but impossible to predict precisely. As an alternative strategy, bioaugmentation of a group of microorganisms may imp...

Ca2+ augmentation for enhancement of aerobically grown microbial granules in sludge blanket reactors
Two sequential aerobic sludge blanket reactors were concurrently operated to examine the effect of Ca2+ augmentation on aerobic granulation. Augmentation with 100 mg Ca2+ l−1 significantly decreased the time to c...
