Research advances of Tetrasphaera in enhanced biological phosphorus removal: A review

The processes of enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) have been widely applied in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, meeting the increasingly stringent effluent discharge standards requires a more stable EBPR performance. Under the circumstances, the identification of genus Tetrasphaera as potential phosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) has aroused much research interests on them. In practice, a large biovolume of genus...
