Microbial composition in reactors during treatment periods 24 measured by 454 pyrosequencing on family level. The microbiota profile in reactor effluents during treatment periods was analyzed by 454 pyrosequencing of the entire 16S rRNA gene pool in the V5-V6 region. Reactor effluents were pooled in a ratio 1:1 from two consecutive days of the N-15 challenge period (days 3 and 4) for genomic DNA extraction and subsequent sequencing on a 454 Life Sciences Genome Sequencer GS FLX instrument. Quality-filtered sequencing reads were assigned using the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) Bayesian classifier (v2.1) and applying a confidence threshold of 80%. CR: control reactor; values <1% are summarized in the group others.
