These microorganisms are natural decomposers that perform several essential functions:
Require oxygen, which is often added mechanically in aeration tanks. They are highly efficient at breaking down organic pollutants into CO2cap C cap O sub 2 and water.
Bacteria consume biodegradable organic compounds (food waste, oils, proteins), converting them into energy, new biomass, and gases like CO2cap C cap O sub 2
In a wastewater treatment plant, microorganisms function as a "biological engine," transforming hazardous waste into clean water. Bacteria are the most critical of these organisms, making up roughly in a typical treatment system. Core Microbial Roles
