Abstract
This study concerns the succession process of protozoa populations in two activated sludge pilot plants. Protozoa populations with similar structures developed and succeeded each other in two plants. It was observed that initial sludge inoculum did not influence the protozoan composition but shorten the period of the plant stabilization. It seemed the protozoan in aeration tank was come from the influent. The composition of the influent sewage influenced the structure of protozoa in the pilot plants. The flagellates was very abundant during the initial starting phase. These rapidly decreased after growth peak. Then sarcodina, ciliates were increased in succession. In ciliates, free-swimming forms appeared at first and crawling forms and stalked forms were followed. After 36 days from the start, the sludge stabilization phase was characterized by a populations of ciliates dominated by stalked and crawling type and low value of effluent BOD was achieved.
