Candidatus Accumulibacter, a prominent polyphosphate-accumulating organism (PAO) in wastewater treatment, plays a crucial role in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). The genetic underpinnings of its polyphosphate accumulation capabilities, however, remain largely unknown. Here, we conduct...
