The maximum specific growth rates of both ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) were investigated under varying aerobic solids retention time (SRTa) and in the presence/absence of anoxic (alternating) conditions. Two bench SBRs, reactor R1 and R2, were run in parallel for 150 d. Reactor R1 was operated in aerobic conditions while R2 operated in alternating anoxic/aerobic conditions. The feed (synthetic wastewater), temperature, hydraulic retention time and mixing were identical in both reactors. The SRTa in both reactors was, sequentially, set at four values: 5, 4, 3 and 2 d. Kinetic tests with the biomasses from both reactors were carried out to estimate the maximum specific growth rates (mu(max)) at each tested SRTa and decay rates, in both aerobic and anoxic conditions. The kinetic parameters of nitrifier were estimated through the calibration of a two step nitrification-denitrification activated sludge model. The results point to a slightly higher mu(max.AOB) and mu(max.NOB) in alternating conditions, while both mu(max.AOB) and it mu(max.NOB) were shown not to vary in the tested range of SRTa (from 2 to 5 d) at 20 degrees C. They were relatively high when compared to literature data: 1.05 d(-1) < mu(max.AOB) < 1.4 d(-1) and 0.91 d(-1) < mu(max.NOB) 1.31 d(-1). The decay coefficients of both AOB and NOB were much higher in aerobic (from 0.22 d(-1) to 0.28 d(-1)) than in anoxic (0.04 d(-1) to 0.16 d(-1)) conditions both in R1 and R2, which explained the higher nitrification rates observed in the alternating reactor.
