Wastewater Treatment Reactors: Microbial Community Structure

by Maulin P. Shah (Editor), Susana Rodriguez-Couto (Editor)

Overview

Wastewater Treatment Reactors: Microbial Community Structure analyzes microbial community structure in relation to changes in physico-chemical parameters, the gene content (metagenome) or gene expression (metatranscriptome) of microbial communities in relation to changes in physico-chemical parameters, physiological aspects of microbial communities, enrichment cultures or pure cultures of key species in relation to changes in physico-chemical parameters, and modeling of potential consequences of changes in microbial community structure or function for higher trophic levels in a given habitat.

As several studies have been carried out to understand bulking phenomena and the importance of environmental factors on sludge settling characteristics, which are thought to be strongly influenced by flocculation, sludge bulking, foaming and rising, this book is an ideal resource on the topics covered.

• Presents the state-of-the-art techniques and applications of omics tools in wastewater treatment reactors (WWTRs)
• Describes both theoretical and practical knowledge surrounding the fundamental roles of microorganisms in WWTRs
• Points out the reuse of treated wastewater through emerging technologies
• Covers the economics of wastewater treatment and the development of suitable alternatives in terms of performance and cost effectiveness
• Discusses cutting-edge molecular biological tools
• Gives in-depth knowledge to study microbial community structure and function in wastewater treatment reactors
