Abstract:Background In this study, individual anaerobic granular biofilms were used as true community replicates to assess whole-microbial-community responses to environmental cues. The aggregates originated from three different biomass sources, i.e. three different engineered biological wastewater treatment systems, were each size-separated into three fractions – small, medium and large – and characterised according to organic matter concentrations and rates of methanogenic activity. Differences in the microbial commu… Show more
