), using the commercial kit
LCK 304 (Hach Lange®, Germany). At the end of each cycle total nitrogen (TN) determination was performed, using the commercial kits
LCK 338 (Hach Lange®, Germany). Biomass concentration was measured as total suspended nitrogen (TSN), using the commercial kit
LCK 304 (Hach Lange®, Germany).
Chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrite and nitrate concentrations were determined using the commercial kit
LCK 914, LCK 342 and LCK 339, respectively (Hach Lange®, Germany) .
The pH was manually controlled and measured by using a benchtop metre inoLabVR pH 7110 (WTW, Weilheim, Germany). The adjustment was performed by adding hydrochloric acid (HCl) with a syringe to the bioreactor until reaching the optimal pH.
