Through the pyrosequencing analysis of samples from support mateial and phase separator from the anaerobic fluidized bed reactor total of 83 genera was found, which 18 are involved to the nonionic surfactant degradation as well as its byproducts. The genera with the highest relative abundance were Sporomusa, Geobacter, Desulfobulbus, Synergistes, Sedimentibacter, Holophaga, Serpens and Azonexus. All samples showed high phylogenetic diversity in which found genera are somehow related to the degradation of LAE and were favored by the configuration of the anaerobic fluidized bed reactor.
