To evaluate the impact of chemical oxygen demand (COD)/total phosphorus (TP) ratio on microbial community characteristics during low-oxygen simultaneous nitrification and denitrification process, three anaerobic-aeration (low-oxygen) sequencing batch reactors, namely R1, R2, and R3, were performed under three different COD/TP ratios of 91.6, 40.8, and 27.6. The community structures of each reactor were analyzed via molecular biological technique. The results showed that the composition of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) was affected, indicated by Shannon indexes of the samples from R1, R2, and R3. Nitrosomonas was identified to be the dominant AOB in all SBRs. Moreover, the copy numbers of nitrifiers were more than those of denitrifiers, and the phosphorus-accumulating organisms to glycogen-accumulating organisms ratio increased with the decrease of COD/TP ratio.
