Foaming phenomenon is related to the characteristics of raw sewage and applied technological parameters of activated sludge process which promote the development of specific foam-forming filamentous microorganisms. In bulking activated sludges there are about 30 species of filamentous microorganisms and in the foam not more than about 1 O species. Basic method of identification of filamentous microorganisms present in foam are microscopic investigations which can be performed both in vivo by direct observation of no stained, so called living smears, with contrast - phase device and in stained smears alter different stain methods in direct light or dark field.}, type={Article}, title={Filamentous Microorganisms Occurring in Foam of Biological Wastewater Treatment Plants and Possibilities Their Identification}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/123393/PDF/6_AE_VOL_32_4_2006_Kalisz_Filamentous.pdf}, keywords={biological wastewater treatment plants, activated sludge, foam, filamentous microorganisms, methods of identification of microorganisms from foam}, }
