Mathematical model for the microbial metabolism of glucose induced enhanced biological phosphorus removal in an anaerobic/aerobic sequential batch reactor

Comparison between acclimated and unacclimated biomass affecting anaerobic–aerobic transformations in the biological removal of phosphorus

“…The beneficial effect of addition of readily biodegradable carbon sources, such as glucose or fermentation products from primary sludge anaerobic digesters, such as short-chain fatty acids or their salts (in this paper they were abbreviated to SCFA) has been recognised in the literature [5][6][7]. However, until now most of the studies on carbon substrate affecting EBPR are focused on acetate or glucose [1,3,[8][9][10][11][12]. The investigation on other SCFA such as propionic acid influencing EBPR performance is limited [13][14][15][16][17].…”
