“…The investigated hazardous events in this study include salinity shock, 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) shock, ammonia shock, organic carbon shock, feed starvation, loss of power supply and physical membrane damage. Salinity, organic carbon and ammonia shocks are commonly reported to exhibit short peak loads in full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) [21][22][23] so they were selected in this study. DNP shock was selected as a representative peak load caused by discharge of industrial wastewater containing electron inhibitors as it is a well-known inhibitor of efficient energy production in cells with mitochondria [24,25].…”
