Abstract:
:In wastewater, biological phosphate removal can fail because of the presence of glycogen accumulating organism (GAO), therefore measuring glycogen stored in microbial cultures provides information on the bacterial population type. Once glycogen is hydrolysed to glucose it was accurately measured using a human glucose meter. The standard curves demonstrate linearity regardless of the pre-treatment of the glucose solution at neutral pH.
