2008 article

Clarifying the roles of kinetics and diffusion in activated sludge filamentous bulking

Lou, I. C., & Reyes, F. L. (2008, March 12). Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Vol. 101, pp. 327–336.

By: I. Lou n & F. Reyes n 

Contributors: I. Lou n & F. Reyes n 

author keywords: activated sludge; filamentous bulking; diffusion limitation; kinetic selection; floc size
MeSH headings : Biomass; Bioreactors; Diffusion; Flocculation; Kinetics; Models, Biological; Sewage / chemistry; Sewage / microbiology; Waste Disposal, Fluid / methods; Water Microbiology
topics (OpenAlex): Wastewater Treatment and Nitrogen Removal; Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment; Membrane Separation Technologies
TL;DR: A model integrating the two factors was developed to simulate the substrate concentrations at different depths and floc sizes under intermittently feeding conditions, and modeling results confirmed that substrate diffusion limitation occurs inside the flocs at a certain range of activated sludge floc size sizes over the operation cycle, and provided additional support for the proposed framework.

2005 article

Integrating Decay, Storage, Kinetic Selection, and Filamentous Backbone Factors in a Bacterial Competition Model

Lou, I. C., & Reyes, F. L. (2005, May 1). Water Environment Research, Vol. 77, pp. 287–296.

By: I. Lou n & F. Reyes* 

Contributors: C. In & F. De Los Reyes III* 

author keywords: bulking; kinetic selection; filamentous backbone; decay rate; storage; modeling
MeSH headings : Bacteria / growth & development; Bioreactors; Flocculation; Kinetics; Models, Theoretical; Monte Carlo Method
topics (OpenAlex): Evolutionary Game Theory and Cooperation; Evolution and Genetic Dynamics; Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology
TL;DR: Modeling filamentous bulking in activated sludge systems showed coexistence of the two organism types, and sensitivity analysis showed that the kinetic parameters, storage rate constants, and backbone coefficient had the greatest effect on the simulation results. (via Semantic Scholar)

2005 article

Substrate uptake tests and quantitative FISH show differences in kinetic growth of bulking and non‐bulking activated sludge

Lou, I., & Reyes, F. L. (2005, September 9). Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Vol. 92, pp. 729–739.

By: I. Lou n & F. Reyes n 

Contributors: I. Lou n & F. Los Reyes n 

author keywords: growth rate; yield; maintenance coefficient; substrate uptake; metabolic modeling; quantitative FISH
MeSH headings : Bacteria / growth & development; Bacteria / metabolism; Biomass; Bioreactors; Gammaproteobacteria / growth & development; In Situ Hybridization, Fluorescence / methods; Models, Biological; Sewage / microbiology; Thiotrichaceae / growth & development; Thiotrichaceae / metabolism; Water Microbiology
topics (OpenAlex): Wastewater Treatment and Nitrogen Removal; Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment; Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology
TL;DR: Substrate uptake tests combined with metabolic modeling showed that filamentous bulking sludge had lower growth rates and maintenance coefficients than non-bulkingSludge, providing support for growth kinetic differences in explaining the competitive strategy of filamentous bacteria.
