‘Candidatus Accumulibacter’ is a biotechnologically important bacterial group that can
accumulate large amounts of intracellular polyphosphate, contributing to biological phosphorus …

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is one of the best-studied microbially
mediated industrial processes because of its ecological and economic relevance. Despite this, it …

Sequencing of 16S rRNA gene tags is a popular method for profiling and comparing microbial
communities. The protocols and methods used, however, vary considerably with regard to …

We investigated the fine-scale population structure of the “Candidatus Accumulibacter”
lineage in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) systems using the polyphosphate …

Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) is not wellunderstood at the metabolic
level despite being one of the best-studiedmicrobially-mediated industrial processes due to its …

The predominance of rRNAs in the transcriptome is a major technical challenge in sequence-based
analysis of cDNAs from microbial isolates and communities. Several approaches …

The capability of ‘Candidatus Accumulibacter’ to use nitrate as an electron acceptor for
phosphorus uptake was investigated using two activated sludge communities. The two …

Termites effectively feed on many types of lignocellulose assisted by their gut microbial
symbionts. To better understand the microbial decomposition of biomass with varied chemical …

Using a combination of bacterial and phage-targeted metagenomics, we analyzed two
geographically remote sludge bioreactors enriched in a single bacterial species Candidatus …

Dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria (DIRB) are known to use humic substances (HS) as
electron shuttles for dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) by transferring electrons to HS-quinone …
