Successional dynamics and alternative stable states in a saline activated sludge microbial community over 9 years

Successional dynamics and alternative stable states in a saline activated sludge microbial community over 9 years

Abstract Background Microbial communities in both natural and applied settings reliably carry out myriads of functions, yet how stable these taxonomically diverse assemblages can be and what causes them to transition between states remains poorly understood. We studied monthly activated sludge (AS)...
