absorbed were assimilated in the cell biomass as protein and polyphosphate
(Rawat et al., 2011). Phosphorus from the wastewater
was oxidized to produce energy in the aerobic condition. The energy
generated from this transformation process was used by the
MA for its growth and cell metabolism. Phosphorus of concentration
of more than 6 mg L1 could lead to the explosive growth of
MA (Ahmad et al., 2013).
