ABSTRACT: The development of nitrifying biofilms collected from a full-scale nitrifying trickling filter was evaluated through the application of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and by quantification of nitrification rates in bench-scale reactors. Two sampling campaigns were conducted to evaluate the structure and function of biofilms between 14 and 70 days old. The structure, or number of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, was quantified with Nso190. The function was quantified with bench-...
