Anaerobic Degradation of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Accumulated in Activated Sludge in the Absence of Anaerobic Digested Sludge

Anaerobic degradation of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) accumulated in activated sludge was studied to estimate its stability during sludge thickening process. Activated sludge was incubated with acetate only or acetate and propionate under aerobic condition to allow microorganisms to accumulate PHA. Af...
