With the increase of OLR (0.6–1.2 g COD/(L·day)), both AGS showed good settleability and granular strength with P bioavailability > 92% (Stage III). The moderate increase in OLR had a positive influence on simultaneous recovery of P and ALE. On day 60, the contents of ALE and guluronic acid/guluronic acid (GG) blocks reached the highest in algal-bacterial AGS, about 13.37 and 2.13 mg/g-volatile suspended solids (VSS), respectively. Meanwhile, about daily 0.55 kg of P is estimated to be recovered from the wastewater treatment plant with a treatment capacity of 10,000 m3/day. P mass balance analysis during ALE extraction from both AGS was conducive to further evaluation of P removal pathway and its application potentials. © 2022 Elsevier LtdAlgal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge; Alginate-like exopolymers; Organic loading rate; Phosphorus accumulation; Resource recoveryAlginate; Biochemistry; Granular materials; Loading; Recovery; Wastewater treatment; Aerobic granular sludges; Algal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge; Alginate-like exopolymer; Comparatives studies; Exopolymers; Guluronic acid; Organic loading rates; Phosphorus accumulation; Resource recovery; Settleability; Phosphorus; alginate; bioavailability; comparative study; exopolymer; sludge; wastewater; wastewater treatment plant; alginic acid; nitrogen; phosphorus; aerobic metabolism; bacterium; bioreactor; microbiology; sewage; wastewater; Aerobiosis; Alginates; Bacteria; Bioreactors; Extracellular Polymeric Substance Matrix; Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Sewage; Waste Disposal, Fluid; Waste Waterjournal article10.1016/j.biortech.2022.127343356057752-s2.0-85131092704
