The paper analyzes metagenomes and metagenome-assembled genomes from microbial communities in a wastewater treatment plant under varying dissolved oxygen conditions to understand microbial adaptation to low-DO environments.

This paper introduces a field-deployable workflow for quantitative metagenomics using Nanopore sequencing and barcoded spike-in calibration, achieving species-level identification and absolute quantitation comparable to digital PCR.

The paper investigates how dissolved oxygen affects the synergistic nitrogen removal by comammox and anammox bacteria in wastewater treatment systems.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of integrating biological phosphorus removal with anammox-based nitrogen removal in a wastewater treatment process with upstream carbon capture.
