quello che nell'articolo mi ha convinto a distinguere anaerobico ed anossico è stato il fatto che vengono distinte nettamente anche le caratteristiche metaboliche:
Studies on poly-P accumulating organisms have revealed the
involvement of specific metabolic properties under
anaerobic, aerobic and anoxic conditions (Mino et al.,
1998). Under anaerobic conditions, acetate or other
low molecular weight organic compounds are converted
to polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), poly-P and
glycogen are degraded and phosphate is released.
Under aerobic and anoxic conditions, PHA is
converted to glycogen, phosphate is taken up and
poly-P is synthesized intracellularly. Under the latter
conditions, growth and phosphate uptake is regulated
by the energy released from the breakdown of PHA.
