The activated algae granules samples from extensive lab-scale sequencing batch reactor experiments were selected for a total DNA extraction and analysis. A relative quantitative analysis of bacterial genes involved in nitrification, denitrification, phosphorus accumulation as well as genes belonging to microalgae was performed by realtime PCR / qPCR. Microscopic investigations of activated microalgae granule showed a gradual decrease of microalgae concentration, together with an increase in bacterial populations inside the granule.en-USMicroalgaeBacteriaActivated sludgeArticle10.37358/RC.19.1.6908
