Paracoccus: Important organisms for denitrification and sulfide oxidation in wastewater treatment systems

by Erik Rumbaugh | Apr 22, 2025 | Uncategorized

When running Microbial Community Analysis tests wastewater treatment systems some organisms are seen at very high frequencies. Among them most interesting genera is Paracoccus. We see this organism in municipal, pulp & paper, food processing, and even...

The Role of Sulfides in Anaerobic Digesters

by Erik Rumbaugh | Apr 3, 2025 | Anaerobic digester, Wastewater Troubleshooting

Sulfides are primarily produced through the activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). These microorganisms use sulfate as an electron acceptor, generating hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) as a byproduct. While this process is natural, the accumulation of sulfides can have...
