Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The metabolism of enhanced biological phosphate removal was discussed. The nature and function of intracellular polymers stored by polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) which include polyphosphate (poly-P), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and glycogen are introduced, and the reactions of these storages under anaerobic and aerobic (anoxic) are analysed for the purpose to describe energy budget in PAOs metabolism and improve the understanding of EBPR process.
