Popis: Volatile fatty acids can be used as carbon sources for denitrification and are easily supplied as by-products from the anaerobic digestion of waste materials. Nitrification and denitrification processes were carried out in a single reactor feeding volatile fatty acids as electron donors and the changes in microbial communities in the reactor were investigated. The microbial communities in the alternating aerobic and anoxic systems were different, and their structure flexibly changed within one reactor. Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes were highly distributed during denitrification, whereas Proteobacteria was a major phylum during nitrification. In addition, in the denitrification system, the microbial community was substrate dependent. It showed the sequential nitrogen removal in one reactor and the microbial community also followed the change of environmental condition, cyclic nitrification, and denitrification.
