Ammonia-oxidising bacteria (AOB) consortium has attracted attention considering the cost savings in wastewater treatment. The study aims to optimise the composition of the AOB consortium for ammonia removal. AOB bacteria were isolated from the activated sludge of a coffee effluent bioreactor. All is...
