The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Microbial ecology of denitrification in biological wastewater treatment. (2014, background): “Within Proteobacteria, a, b, g and d subclasses occur at much higher levels than ε-Proteobacteria, and this result has been verified by high-throughput metagenomics (Zhang et al., 2012).”
MiDAS: the field guide to the microbes of activated sludge (2015, background): “However, surveys of full-scale systems show that a substantial portion of the sequences are not classified at the genus level, applying the available taxonomic databases (12).”
Metagenomic and quantitative insights into microbial communities and functional genes of nitrogen and iron cycling in twelve wastewater treatment systems (2016, background): “These results revealed that municipal WWTSs samples had higher diversity of bacterial 16S rRNA than samples from industrial and anammoxWWTSs, which was consistent with other studies on different WWTSs [9].”
Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes spread into the environment: a review. (2013, background): “Proteobacteria, mainly of the classes Alpha-, Beta- and Gamma-, seem to be the predominant bacteria in the activated sludge ofwastewater treatment plants (Sanapareddy et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2012).”
