Fatty acid cycling drives metabolic uncoupling and simultaneous nitrogen removal in a low-aeration and no-recirculation activated sludge system

Metabolic uncoupling represents a fundamental strategy for in-situ sludge reduction, yet its underlying metabolic mechanisms under low-aeration conditions remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated activated sludge performance in a reactor with a depth-to-diameter ratio of 4...
