AB  - In a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) system, the vast majority of biomass is 
      immobilized as biofilm besides small amounts of suspension. In this study, the 
      influence of the individual biomass components of a deammonifying MBBR, the 
      biofilm on carriers (BC), residual suspended biomass (SB) with a volatile 
      suspended solids concentration of 0.09+/-0.03g/L, and its combination (BC+SB) on 
      nitrogen removal efficiency was investigated. While the performance was highest 
      for BC+SB (0.42kgN/(m(3).d)), it was reduced by a factor of 3.5 for BC solely. SB 
      itself was only capable of nitrite accumulation. This suggests a high abundance 
      of AOBs within suspension besides the coexistence of AOBs and anammox bacteria in 
      the biofilm, which could be supported by results using fluorescence in situ 
      hybridization(FISH). Thus, small amounts of suspended microorganisms can 
      positively influence the deammonification's efficiency. If this fraction is 
      partially washed out, the system recovers nevertheless within hours.
