Number of T-RFs versus total fluorescence. The total number of T-RFs (squares), the number of T-RFs with a relative abundance above 1% (Filled circles) and below 1% (empty circles) are plotted against the total fluorescence of 38 T-RF profiles from activated sludge samples. Total fluorescence was defined as the sum of all peak heights in a profile and the relative abundance of a T-RF was calculated as the peak height of the T-RF divided by the total fluorescence.
