Integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) that combines the activated sludge (suspended flocs) and attached biofilm has been applied in municipal wastewater treatment to promote nitrification. This study investigated the changes in reactor performance and bacterial community structure in response to different organic loadings (500, 250, 150 mg/L COD) in an integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) reactor operated under sequencing batch mode. Changes of bacterial population in the suspended flocs and attached biofilm were compared. Biomass in the suspended flocs and in biofilm decreased as the organic loading decreased. The specific nitrification rate was highest when COD was only 150 mg/L in the feeding, which highlighted the effects of competition between heterotrophic bacteria and autotrophic bacteria over oxygen and space. Besides, lack of carbon sources limited denitrification activities. The percentages of nitrifying related genes over total genes were higher in biofilms as compared to those in activated sludge flocs, indicating biofilm was a more favorable habitat for nitrifiers. In addition, extra cellular polymeric substancelEPS) in biofilm and suspended flocs changed differently in response to the organic loading changes, which might also be related to the microbial population changes.
