What is the impact of microaerobic treatment environments on trace organic chemical transformations?
Dr. Lauren Stadler Rice University
![Page 30: Sustainability and Innovation - mi-wea.org and Utility-University... · Sustainability and Innovation Nancy G.

Low DO treatment directly and indirectly impacts pharmaceutical transformations.
Dissolved oxygen (DO)
Microbial community
Pharmaceutical biotransformations
(1) it is a limiting substrate and slows the activity of aerobic microorganisms
(2) it shapes the microbial community. Growth in low DO conditions results in:
• increased biomass concentration • enrichment of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) • increased microbial diversity
Stadler and Love, In review. Impact of microbial physiology and microbial community structure on pharmaceutical fate driven by dissolved oxygen concentration in nitrifying bioreactors
