AB  - This paper deals with the effect of a bioaugmentation batch enhanced (BABE) 
      reactor implementation in a biological nutrient removal pilot plant on the 
      populations of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria 
      (NOB). The results of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique showed 
      that AOB and NOB populations were significantly enhanced, from 4 to 8% and from 2 
      to 9%, respectively, as a result of the BABE reactor implementation. Regarding 
      AOB, the percentage of Nitrosomonas oligotropha was mainly increased (3 to 6%). 
      Regarding NOB, Nitrospirae spp was greatly enhanced (1 to 7%). Both species are 
      considered K-strategist (high affinity to the substrate, low maximum growth 
      rates) and they usually predominate in reactors with low ammonium and nitrite 
      concentrations, respectively.
