## Abstract Shortcut nitrogen removal, that is, removal via formation and reduction of nitrite rather than nitrate, has been observed in membrane‐aerated biofilms (MABs), but the extent, the controlling factors, and the kinetics of nitrite formation in MABs are poorly understood. We used a special
The water activity ( a, ) of substrates has been related to the mycelial growth and the sporogenesis of two molds. In the absence of other limiting factors, optimal a , values were determined for growth and sporogenesis as 0.99 and 0.98, respectively, for Trichoderma viride TS and 0.97 and 0.96 for
