“…The effect of prolonged aeration on microbial community structure in the SBBR was further explored. Rhodococcus (S0:8.66%, S1A:4.7%, S2A:14.9%), 34 Delftia (S0:0.07%, S1A:7.85%), 35 Leucobacter (S0:0.05%, S1A:2.25%), 36 norank-f-Anaerolineaceae (S0:0.62%, S1A: 1.31%), 37 Chryseolinea (S0:0.42%, S1A:1.35%) 38 and Pseudomonas (S0:0.22%, S1A:1.30%) 39 were functional bacteria of aniline degradation, which had good ability to degrade aniline. These bacteria maintained a high abundance, which explained the efficiency and stability of the system for aniline degradation.…”
