Seasonal prevalence of bacteria in the outflow of two full-scale municipal wastewater treatment plants.

ABSTRACT: Despite many modern wastewater treatment solutions, the most common is still the use of activated sludge (AS). Studies indicate that the microbial composition of AS is most often influenced by the raw sewage composition (especially influent ammonia), biological oxygen demand, the level of dissolved oxygen, technological solutions, as well as the temperature of wastewater related to seasonality. The available literature mainly refers to the relationship between AS parameters or the technology used and the composition of microorganisms in AS. However, there is a lack of data on the groups of microorganisms leaching into water bodies whose presence is a signal for possible changes in treatment technology. Moreover, sludge flocs in the outflow contain less extracellular substance (EPS) which i
