Figure 9
SMP production and concentration of heterotrophic families (i.e. HD and SRB) overtime increasing \({\uptau }_{{\text{d}}}\) from 5 (A) to 8 (B) and 10 days (C) with an injection of stoichiometric COD. The solid dark blue line represents the heterotrophic denitrifiers (HD), while the solid green line indicates the sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). The solid red line indicates the EPS, which allows the production of BAP (red dashed line) after hydrolysis. The solid light blue line represents the UAP.
