Abstract
A method and a kit for determining the amount of anammox bacteria in a bioreactor, comprising the steps of 1) removing a sample from the bioreactor, 2) mixing the sample with alkali, 3) heating the samples to at least 60° C., 4) separating solid components, 5) adding a reducing agent to the liquid phase, 6) measuring the translucence of the liquid phase in a spectrophotometer at three wavelengths ranging from 500 to 600 nm, and 7) comparing the measured translucence to a reference spectrum.
