| predation by bdellovibrio bacteriovorus significantly reduces viability and alters the microbial community composition of activated sludge flocs and granules. | we recently isolated and characterised a predatory bdellovibrio bacteriovorus strain from activated sludge (ulu pandan water reclamation plant, singapore), and this strain, b. bacteriovorus up, was able to prey upon a broad spectrum of bacterial isolates from the activated sludge when grown as planktonic cells or as biofilms. here, we have tested the effect of bdellovibrio predation on floccular and granular sludge to determine if the spatial organisation, loosely or tightly aggregated communiti ... | 2017 | 28334102 |
