Abstract

Biochemical mechanisms of anaerobic uptake of organic substrate by anaerobic-aerobic activated sludge were investigated experimentally. As the organic polymers stored in the cell, 3H2MB and 3H2MV were newly identified besides PHB and PHV. Conceptual pathways for the formation of PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) were postulated. It was suggested that the conversion of glycogen into PHA should be important for the mechanisms of biological excess phosphate removal.
