Abstract

The ammonia-oxidizing microbial community colonizing clay tiles in flow channels changed in favour of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria during a 12-week-incubation period even at originally high AOA/AOB ratios. Biofilm-associated potential nitrification activity was first detected after 28 days and was positively correlated to bacterial but not to archaeal amoA gene copy numbers.
