Absent anoxic activity of “Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis” clade IC on nitrate

These samples give an insight into the microbial community of an EBPR (Enhanced biological phosphorus removal) system setup in which Candidatus accumulibacter phosphatis (CAP) is dominant. CAP is a well known PAO (polyphosphate accumulationg organism). In this study we investigate the possibility of CAP in using nitrate as electron acceptor.
