FILAMENTIOUS BACTERIA IDENTIFICATION & PROCESS . control . A Simple Approach INTRODUCTION. Under normal conditions in activated sludge , BACTERIA occur singly, in small chains or clumps. Under adverse conditions however, BACTERIA that grow in filaments begin to form longer chains called filamentous BACTERIA or filaments . Filaments can dominate in the wastewater treatment system under a variety of conditions. These conditions are usually less favorable for the floc-forming BACTERIA so, this allows the filaments to gain an advantage. The presence of some filaments in the activated sludge is advantageous. They aid in settling by providing a back-bone for floc-forming BACTERIA to attach to.
