At present one of the most used methods of biological wastewater treatment is activated sludge process. The principal role in this process belongs to functional microbial culture. Two types of microbial cultures could be recognized, suspended culture (activated sludge process) and attached culture (biofilm process). Presence or absence of the specific microorganisms can indicate effluent wastewater quality. There are a lot of factors (pH, temperature, biochemical oxygen demand, etc.) and technological parameters (solid retention time, sludge load, sludge volume index, etc.), which can influence on the activated process and presence of microbial biocoenosis in activated sludge. By monitoring the microorganisms abundance, the behaviour of activated process and related eventual problems can be evaluated. For identification of microorganisms present in activated sludge a lot of methods can be used. The common method used is microscopic analysis of basic morphological characteristics of presented microorganisms.
