functional contributions of the microorganisms catalyzing this important process remains unknown for many_x000D_
engineered systems. This research partnership will test samples taken temporally from a lab-scale pilot_x000D_
bioreactor to identify the active ammonia oxidizers and assess the ability of genes collected from these systems_x000D_
to identify the functions of detected microorganisms. This research is important because bioreactor systems_x000D_
treating industrial waste are notoriously unstable and Tetra Tech is currently unable to identify ammonia_x000D_
oxidizers upon which their system performance depends. Identifying microorganisms involved in ammonia_x000D_
oxidation will help identify the causes of instability, possible solutions related to the manipulation of process_x000D_
parameters, and a protocol that Tetra Tech can follow in the future for monitoring bioreactor microbial_x000D_
