AB  - Hospital wastewaters are a main source of pharmaceutical active compounds, which 
      are usually highly recalcitrant and can accumulate in surface and groundwater 
      bodies. Fungal treatments can remove these contaminants prior to discharge, but 
      real wastewater poses a problem to fungal survival due to bacterial competition. 
      This study successfully treated real non-spiked, non-sterile wastewater in a 
      continuous fungal fluidized bed bioreactor coupled to a coagulation-flocculation 
      pretreatment for 56 days. A control bioreactor without the fungus was also 
      operated and the results were compared. A denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis 
      (DGGE) and sequencing approach was used to study the microbial community arisen 
      in both reactors and as a result some bacterial degraders are proposed. The 
      fungal operation successfully removed analgesics and anti-inflammatories, and 
      even the most recalcitrant pharmaceutical families such as antibiotics and 
      psychiatric drugs.
