The characteristics of the functional microbial community were determined to reveal the mechanisms for quick start-up of partial nitrification in anaerobic/ pulse washout process. A1, A45, and A80 were the sludge samples from conventional partial nitrification process on days 1, 45 and 80. B5, B20, and B80 were the sludge samples from anaerobic/ pulse washout process on days 5, 20, and 80.
