Gut Bacteria are 99% Anaerobic
Gut Bacteria are 99% Anaerobic
(OP)
but we use aerobic processes to break down BOD and TKN
where do the aerobic bacteria in MLSS come from then?

One method to initiate the activated sludge process is to deposit some soil in the activated sludge basin.
A better method is to transfer mixed liquor (using a tanker tank) from an operating activated sludge system. This method works faster since you are starting with a greater quantity of acclimated bacteria.
My understanding is that the source of the microorganisms in the gut is from the mother and that the microorganisms are transferred at the time of birth.
The microorganisms that thrive in the activated sludge basin will do so naturally because the enviromental conditions are ideal for those particular microorganisms. Since the environmental conditions in the gut are quite different, one would not expect that the same microorganisms that predominate in the gut would be the same microorganisms that predominate in the activated sludge process.
