Millet butterflyfish stripe runs from above the eye to the base of the operculum, and there is a large black patch on the caudal peduncle. This fish is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands and the Johnston Atoll, and is found down to depths of at least . Its habitats include coastal fringing reefs, outer reefs and lagoons. The millet butterflyfish is a schooling species found in mid-water that feeds on zooplankton. It also feeds opportunistically on polychaete worms and other small invertebrates on the seabed. Food is drawn into the mouth by rapid suction. It does not seem to be territorial but
Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms to certain amino acids as carbon and energy source. The storage compound that they use to store the amino acids that these organisms take up under anaerobic conditions has not been identified. These bacteria have been observed in some EBPR plants in Denmark (where they were discovered) but their wider distribution is unknown. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) are a group of bacteria that, under certain conditions, facilitate the removal of large amounts of phosphorus from wastewater in a process, called enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). PAOs accomplish this removal of phosphate by accumulating it within their cells as polyphosphate.
