Ecological study of a bioaugmentation failure
Abstract
A nitrifying sequencing batch reactor was inoculated twice with the aerobic denitrifying bacterium Microvirgula aerodenitrificans and fed with acetate. No improvement was obtained on nitrogen removal. The second more massive inoculation was even followed by a nitrification breakdown, while at the same time, nitrification remained stable in a second reactor operated under the same conditions without bioaugmentation. Fluorescent in situ hybridization with rRNA‐targeted probes revealed that the added bacteria almost disappeared from the reactor within 2 days, and that digestive vacuoles of protozoa gave strong hybridization signals with the M. aerodenitrificans ‐specific probe. An overgrowth of protozoa, coincident with the disappearance of free‐living bacteria, was monitored by radioactive dot‐blot hybridization only in the bioaugmented reactor. Population dynamics were analysed with a newly developed in situ quantification procedure of the probe‐targeted bacteria. The nitrifying groups of bacteria decreased in a similar way in the bioaugmented and non‐bioaugmented reactors. Other bacterial groups evolved differently. The involvement of different ecological parameters are discussed separately for each reactor. These results underline the importance of predator–prey interaction and illustrate the undesirable effects of massive bioaugmentation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
