Amyloid adhesin production in activated sludge is enhanced in lab-scale sequencing batch reactors: Feeding regime impacts microbial community and amyloid distribution

Amyloid adhesins are β-sheet-rich extracellular proteins thought to contribute to bioflocculation. They are present in activated sludge to varying extent. However, it remains unclear which operational conditions promote their production. To this end, the abundance and distribution of amyloids and th...
