Characterization of filamentous bacteria, belonging to candidate phylum KSB3, that are associated with bulking in methanogenic granular sludges
A fatal bulking phenomenon was found to occur occasionally in the methanogenic granular sludge of a mesophilic ( 35 – 40 degrees C), full- scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket ( UASB) reactor treating organic wastewater discharged from a sugar manufacturing factory. A vast number of filamentous cells were observed in the bulking sludge that were… [Read More]
