A multi-pronged strategy towards one-stage partial nitritation/anammox in a lab-scale MABR
. In-situ batch tests together with microbial community characterization revealed that ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (Nitrosomonas) and anammox bacteria ('Candidatus Brocadia') were enriched within the mature biofilm and cooperatively achieved efficient nitrogen removal, while the activity and abundance of NOB were effectively suppressed at low levels. Collectively, the findings provide insights into the application of PN/A in MABRs for intensifying mainstream wastewater treatment.
