The present study characterized the interactions of microbial populations in activated sludge systems during the operational period after an increase in the wastewater flow rate and consequential ammonia accumulation using a 16S rRNA gene sequencing-based network analysis. Two hundred microbial populations accounting for 81.8% of the total microbiome were identified. Based on a co-occurrence analysis, Nitrosomonas-type ammonia oxidizers had one of the largest number of interactions with diverse bacteria, including a bulking-associated Thiothrix organism. These results suggest that an increased flow rate has an impact on constituents by changing ammonia concentrations and also that Nitrosomonas- and Thiothrix-centric responses are critical for ammonia removal and microbial community recovery.
