Was haben Mikrobiologie und Ökologie der Abwassertechnik zu bieten? Zur Optimierung der Abwasserreinigung sowie zur Früherkennung und Vermeidung von Störungen ist es notwendig, die Organismen zu kennen, von denen die Reinigungsleistung vollbracht wird, und zu wissen, welche Wechselwirkungen sie untereinander entwickeln und wie sich Veränderungen des Nährstoffangebots auf Zusammensetzung und Effektivität der Population auswirken. Darüberhinaus bietet die mikrobielle Ökologie auch Ansätze, die biologischen Ursachen von Schwimmschlamm, Blähschlamm und Schaumbildung besser zu verstehen und ihnen frühzeitig gezielt entgegenzuwirken. Anhand konkreter Beispiele werden Möglichkeiten und Grenzen klassischer und gentechnischer Methoden zur Charakterisierung der Abwassermikroorganismen demonstriert.
