i would like to know if there is recently new technique developed to inhibit the GAO activity without affecting phosphate accumulating organisms (PAO). Please share your knowledge
Glycogen accumulating organisms ( GAO ) compete for substrate with polyphosphate - accumulating organisms (PAO ), which are microorganisms responsible for the enhanced biological phosphorus removal ( EBPR ) in activated sludge wastewater treatment systems. This can lead to the deterioration of EBPR process. For more details consult https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Sylvester Peter Antai , Hello dear sir .. thank you for sharing your knowledge.. you have shared previous information but there are many types of inhibitors have been used to inhibit the activities of one specific specie without affecting our content of interest.. so i would like to inhibit GAO.. PLEASE SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT
Glycogen accumulating organisms (GAO) have been observed proliferating in activated sludge plants of various configurations treating high chemical oxygen demand (COD) industrial waste, such as paper mill waste, brewery wastes and winery wastewater. These wastewater streams share similar characteristics (e.g. high COD:N:P ratios) suggesting that these conditions may enhance the growth of GAO. For successful aerobic biological treatment of wastewater an accepted rule of thumb is a C:N:P ratio of 100:5:1, however industrial wastewater composition differs considerably, containing COD:N ratios as high as 1000:1
