AB  - Waste stabilisation ponds (WSPs) are widely used across the world as a passive 
      wastewater treatment for domestic wastewaters, but little is known about their 
      ecology, especially their phototrophic communities. This study uses molecular 
      methods and flow cytometry to assess the cyanobacterial and eukaryotic 
      communities longitudinally throughout two systems, one treating domestic 
      wastewater and the other mixed industrial/domestic wastewaters. More variation 
      was seen between the systems than between different stages in the treatment 
      processes for both eukaryotic and cyanobacterial communities. Chlorella species 
      and Planktophrix cyanobacteria dominated both treatment systems. Arthrospira 
      cyanobacteria were detected only in the industrial/domestic system. The balance 
      between non-photosynthetic and photosynthetic organisms is rarely considered, 
      though both play vital roles in WSP functioning. Flow cytometry showed that the 
      facultative and first maturation pond in the industrial system contained a lower 
      proportion of photosynthetic organisms compared to the domestic system. This is 
      reflected in the species richness data and low dissolved oxygen levels detected. 
      All data indicated that both systems are significantly different from one another 
      and that variation longitudinally throughout the systems is lower. A more 
      systematic study is needed to determine if it is the wastewater source rather 
      than the initial inoculum that drives community composition.
