Despite recent evidence from full-scale plants suggesting that Candidatus Accumulibacter may be capable of using amino acids, this metabolic trait has never been confirmed in a bioreactor experiment. Here we show that an enriched culture of Ca. Accumulibacter clade IIF strain SCELSE-1 could metaboli...
