If oxygen availability to activated sludge flocs in a sewage treatment plant is reduced:
1. the rate of degradation of organic matter slows down
2. the center of flocs becomes anoxic, causing death of bacteria and eventually breakage of flocs.
3. the flocs would increase in size as anaerobic bacteria would grow around flocs.
4. Protozoa would grow in large numbers.
