) was the most labile P fraction for P release. The hydrolysis of EPS-associated poly-P was enhanced by higher temperatures with the degradation of the long-chain poly-P by PAOs. Meanwhile, a lower temperature could obviously improve the P release because the dominance of PAOs would potentially shift to GAOs with the increase of temperature. But the very-low temperature (5 °C) was not beneficial for the P release and suppressed the microbial activities.
