“…However, these findings have been contradicted by studies that found no significant differences in EBPR efficiency and stability at temperatures ranging from 5 to 30uC (Barnard et al, 1985;Choi et al, 1998;Daigger et al, 1988;Helmer and Kunst, 1998;Marklund, 1993;Ydstebo et al, 2000). Other studies have found more efficient and stable phosphorus removal at colder temperatures (5uC) than at warmer temperatures (15 to 20uC) (Erdal et al, 2003(Erdal et al, , 2006Florentz et al, 1987;Hascoet and Florentz, 1985a;Krichten et al, 1985;Viconneau et al, 1985). The variable dependency of related biological processes, such as nitrification and denitrification, on temperature typically has been cited for literature inconsistency (Baetens et al, 1999;Choi et al, 1998).…”
