This review discusses critically what we know and would like to know about the microbiology of phosphorus (P) removal in activated sludge systems. In particular, the description of the genome sequences of two strains of the polyphosphate accumulating organism found in these processes, Candidatus 'Accumulibacter phosphatis', allows us to address many of the previously unanswered questions relating to how these processes behave, and to raise new questions about the microbiology of P removal. This article attempts to be deliberately speculative, and inevitably subjective, but hopefully at the same time useful to those who have an active interest in these environmentally very important processes.
本综述批判性地讨论了我们对活性污泥系统中磷去除微生物学的已知和未知内容。特别是,对在这些过程中发现的两株聚磷菌“聚磷菌属(Candidatus 'Accumulibacter phosphatis')”的基因组序列描述,使我们能够回答许多以前关于这些过程如何运行的未解决问题,并提出有关磷去除微生物学的新问题。本文试图进行刻意的推测,不可避免地带有主观性,但希望同时对那些积极关注这些对环境非常重要的过程的人有所帮助。
