Metagenomic insights into the global distribution and functional potentials of major polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants.

Polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) are essential for phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs); however, their global distribution patterns and potential ecological functions across diverse activated sludge systems remain poo…
