As well as the implications for our understanding of “Accumulibacter” ecology, these results raiseinteresting questions as to the relevance of laboratory-scale systems as tools for studying full-scaleprocesses.AcknowledgementsWe thank Craig Johnson, Linda Blackall, Rob Beiko, Allan Wong, David Probandt and EvaKammer Andresen for their contributions to this project. We also thank Maite Pijuan, MarieskaVerawaty and Liu Ye for kindly providing sludge samples. This work was funded by an ARCDiscovery project awarded to CJ, LB and RB.ReferencesGarcía Martín, H., N.

NEWS FROM IWA HEADQUARTERSNew from IWA – the IWA Water Wiki!Invitation to Participatewww.iwawaterwiki.orgThe WaterWiki is a website providing a place for the water community to interact, share knowledge anddisseminate information online.Since the site was launched, we have been working with IWA <strong>Specialist</strong> <strong>Group</strong>s, offering them theopportunity to set up their own group work spaces on the WaterWiki – we now have over 20 <strong>Group</strong>s usingthe site to communicate and network online.Want to get involved? We would like to invite members of the microbial ecology and water engineering<strong>Specialist</strong> <strong>Group</strong> to set up their own private <strong>Group</strong> Space on the Wiki.WaterWiki <strong>Group</strong> Spaces – Why participate?Establishing a <strong>Group</strong> Space on the WaterWiki is excellent way share information within your group. Youcan:- Include contact details of key members in the group- Upload PDFS, Word documents, presentations etc.- Circulate minutes from meetings, events, conferences etc.- Plan upcoming events and webinars- Discuss research developments and group activitiesOnce you have established your group space on the Wiki, members can add, remove, or edit content atanytime – and we have a dedicated support team on hand to answer any technical queries.If you are a member of the microbial ecology and water engineering IWA <strong>Specialist</strong> <strong>Group</strong> and would liketo establish a <strong>Group</strong> Space on the WaterWiki, please contact Victoria Beddow (vbeddow@iwap.co.uk).Call for Contributions – New articlesWe are currently looking for new articles in your subject area. If you are able to write on any of thefollowing subjects (about 600-1000 words), please do contact us:Biological Treatment Processes; Engineering and design; Pollution monitoring and control; Publicparticipation in Environmental Management; Occurrence and removal of hazardous substances; Odors andvolatile emissions.Victoria BeddowIWA WaterWiki Community Managervbeddow@iwap.co.uk________________________________________________________________________________________________________IWA <strong>Specialist</strong> <strong>Group</strong> on Microbial Ecology and Water Engineering:13Newsletter July 2011
