The activities of certain hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes and the number of bacteria capable of degrading specific substrates during extended aeration of fellmongery effluent was investigated. An enzymic approach was shown to be a potentially useful method for the quantitative biological characterization of activated sludges. The bacterial population of fellmongery activated sludge mixed liquor was dominated by bacteria from the two genera Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter .
