Ecological Media Reveal Community Structure Shifts in a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Train

Bergmann RC, Wright DA, Ralebi

Abstract

Unique ecological/habitat media derived from four phases of a municipal wastewater treatment plant revealed the highest diversity (2.55-2.86) and evenness (0.79-0.87) for the raw sewage (R) medium. Richness was, however, inoculum- and media-dependent hence inocula R and P recorded the highest counts on media A and F, respectively.
