In situ fermentation-coupled symbiosis of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms and microalgae for efficient nutrient removal and sludge reduction in low carbon-to-nitrogen ratios wastewater.
Microalgae-bacteria consortia (MBC) integrated with polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) treat wastewater sustainably, but face excess sludge and light-dark mismatch issues. This study developed in situ fermentation-coupled photo simultaneous nitrification-denitrification phosphorus removal (F/P-SNDPR) systems b...
