Bacteriophages in Biological Wastewater Treatment Systems: Occurrence, Characterization, and Function

Phage bacteria interactions can affect structure, dynamics, and function of microbial communities. In the context of biological wastewater treatment (BWT), the presence of phages can alter the efficiency of the treatment process and influence the quality of the treated effluent. The active role of p...
