You know how sometimes wastewater has too much nitrogen but not enough oxygen-demanding stuff? That's a problem! One way we deal with this is using biological contact oxidation reactors (BCOR). These reactors use certain microorganisms to help remove the nitrogen. In this story, scientists found tha
