## Abstract We hypothesized that the growth rates of filaments and floc formers in activated sludge are affected by the combination of kinetic selection (Lou and de los Reyes, Biotechnol Bioeng 92(6): 729β739, 2005b) and substrate diffusion limitation (Martins et al., Water Res 37:2555β2570, 2003).
For years now, biological wastewater treatment plants rely on activated sludge systems in which a complex ecosystem, constituted mainly of bacteria and protozoa, (bio)degrade the incoming pollutants. Filamentous bulking, a phenomenon in which the filamentous organisms dominate the activated sludge i
