چکیده

Continuous monitoring of ammonia removal by microbial complexes and observation of their morphology were carried out using a microdevice. Consumption of NH(4)(+) ions by active sludge could clearly be recorded over 48 h. Aggregation of the sludge could be observed in parallel by using confocal reflection microscopy.
