The lab studies the microorganisms involved in wastewater treatment.
AboutAbout the lab
Deciphering the microorganisms in activated sludge.
Nittami Lab studies solid-liquid separation in activated sludge, biological nutrient removal, and the microbial ecology of activated sludge.
Focusing on biological wastewater treatment, in which wastewater is treated by microorganisms, the lab also works on microbial community analysis.
Its recent papers deal with filamentous bacteria found in activated sludge and with phages of Escherichia coli isolated from activated sludge.
The lab also continues international joint research with overseas universities, including La Trobe University.
Key terms
- Activated sludge
- A muddy mass of microorganisms used in wastewater treatment
- Solid-liquid separation
- Separating treated water from sludge that contains microorganisms
- Phage
- A virus that infects bacteria; also called a bacteriophage
- Biomethanation
- A technology that uses microorganisms to produce methane from carbon dioxide and hydrogen
NewsLab news
