Exploring Syntrophic Bacterial Relationships in Wastewater Treatment

by Erik Rumbaugh | Apr 7, 2025 | Uncategorized, Wastewater Microbiome, Wastewater Organisms

Biological wastewater relies on multiple microbial communities working together to break down pollutants and recycle nutrients. Among these microbial interactions, syntrophic relationships stand out as a cornerstone of efficient wastewater management. To understand a...

Understanding Bacterial Gene Expression: The Impact on Phenotype vs. Genotype

by Erik Rumbaugh | Jan 19, 2025 | Wastewater Microbiome, Wastewater Organisms, Whitepaper

In the world of microbiology, understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype is crucial for advancing wastewater treatment technologies. Bacterial gene expression plays a pivotal role in this dynamic, influencing how genetic information translates into...
