(3). NAME OF BACTRIA THAT USE IN BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT


anaerobic bacteria are an important element in the wastewater treatment
processes. They are responsible for methane fermentation of sewage sludge,
facilitating decomposition of macromolecular organic matter into simpler
compounds.
Bacillus is an excellent treatment of bacteria in wastewater but is best suited for
treating fats, oils, greases, and proteins. That is why they are primarily used in
wastewater treatment plants.
