AB  - The microbial ecology of nitrifying bacteria in various types of wastewater 
      treatment processes and the dynamic response of the microbial ecology in biofilms 
      were investigated using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with 16S 
      rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes. Nitrifying bacteria were found to exhibit 
      various organizational forms under different conditions of substrate composition 
      and concentration. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria were dominant in ammonia-rich 
      inorganic wastewater, while heterotrophic bacteria and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria 
      were localized at different positions in the biofilm in organic wastewater. The 
      dynamics of the microbial ecology in the biofilm with regard to the spatial 
      distribution of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and heterotrophic bacteria caused by a 
      gradual change in substrate composition was successfully monitored by FISH 
      analysis.
