Correlative trends between effluent quality of the trickling nitrification biofilm reactor and the abundance ratio of predominant AOB and NOB. Concentrations of ammonium (NH4 +), nitrite (NO2 ), nitrate (NO3 ) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the effluent stream of the trickling nitrification biofilm reactor column throughout the different operational phases (a). The ratio of Nse1472-, Nso190- and Nsv443-targeted AOB against Ntspa712-targeted NOB, obtained using HOPE (b). The ratio of Nitrosospira and Nitrosomonas against Nitrospira, obtained using amplicon sequencing (c)
