Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) behavior and microbial characteristics in the anaerobic-aerobic SBR (PAO SBR) and the anaerobic-anoxic SBR (DPAO SBR) were examined in this research. For 392 days of operation, both SBRs have exhibited a good EBPR (or denitrifying EBPR) performance. $P_{release}/P_{influent}$ ratio was highest in both reactors after the stabilization, while the efficiency of phosphorus removal was decreased since the sludge granulation has been visually observed within the reactor. The comparative analysis of Pyrosequencing-based microbial population between PAO and DPAO sludges showed indirectly that Dechloromonas spp. could utilize $O_2$ and $NO_3{^-}-N$ as an electron acceptor and Accumulibacter phosphatis use only $O_2$ in EBPR system. Also, we concluded that Thauera spp. as a denitrifier contribute significantly to the anoxic phosphorus removal in the DPAO system.
