Niederdorfer et al. show that different anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacterial species and other key biofilm taxa vary in their transcriptional responses as a function of temperature and dissolved oxygen disturbances in an engineered ecosystem. This study highlights the links between microbial community stress response, individual stress response, and process level failure in anammox mainstream wastewater treatment.
