Variability in the composition of extracellular polymeric substances from a ful...
Oliveira, Ana S.; Amorim, Catarina L.; Ramos, Miguel A.; Mesquita, Daniela P.; Inocêncio, Paulo; Ferreira, Eugénio C.; van Loosdrecht, MarkWithin the framework of the circular economy, there is a need for waste management alternatives that promote the reuse of materials produced in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). An interesting option is the recovery of extracellular substances from sludge. The variability of characteristics of potential recovered bioproducts has to be assessed in full scale operational settings. In this study, aerobic granula...
Aerobic granules synthesized with EPS and degrading strain Rhodococcus sp. FP1 ...
Oliveira, Ana; Amorim, Catarina L.; Zlopassa, Jure; Lin, Yuemei; van Loosdrecht, Mark; Castro, Paula M. L.Background: Aerobic granular sludge-sequencing batch reactors (AGS-SBR) have been introduced as a promising and innovative wastewater treatment system economically outcompeting the conventional activated sludge system. AGS is considered a special case of suspended biofilms, composed of self-immobilized microorganisms that form spherical sludge aggregates. Microorganisms are embedded in a self-produced extracell...
