Metabolic behaviour of Acinetobacter spp. in enhanced biological phosphorus removal - a biochemical model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A biochemical model is presented that explains the behaviour of Acinetobacter spp. in enhanced biological phosphorus removal activated sludge systems. The model modifies and extends the proposals of Comeau et al. (1985). Two key parameters are identified in controlling poly-P and PHB synthesis and degradation, the ATP/ADP and NADH/NAD ratios. The predicted behaviour appears to be consistent with that observed.

Biological Phosphorus and Nitrogen Removal from Wastewater Using Moving Bed Biofilm Process
In this research, an experimental study to evaluate nutrient removal from synthetic wastewater by a lab-scale moving bed biofilm process was investigated. Also, kinetic analysis of the process with regard to phosphorus and nitrogen removal was studied with different mathematical models. For nutrient removal, the moving bed biofilm process was applied in series with anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic...

This study investigates, for the first time, the application of metabolic models incorporating polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) and glycogen accumulating organisms (GAOs) towards describing the biochemical transformations of full-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) activated sludge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). For this purpose, it was required to modify p...

Since the identification of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus as the primary agent responsible for biological phosphorus removal, much research has been conducted to either confirm or refute this claim. The majority of these studies was conducted under defined laboratory conditions using various artificial media; as a result, many conflicting reports exist regarding the role of A. calcoaceticus and o...
متن کاملMicrobial selection of polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria in activated sludge wastewater treatment processes for enhanced biological phosphate removal.
Activated sludge processes with alternating anaerobic and aerobic conditions (the anaerobic-aerobic process) have been successfully used for enhanced biological phosphate removal (EBPR) from wastewater. It is known that polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria (PAB) play an essential role for EBPR in the anaerobic-aerobic process. The present paper reviews limited information available on the metabo...

Background and purpose: Acinetobacter spp. is a non-fermentative gram- negative bacterium involving in various nosocomial infections. During last decade increasing number of multidrug-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter spp. have been reported. This type of resistance is possibly related to efflux pumps. This research aimed at identifying the phonotypic and genotypic characteristics of efflux p...
