Abstract
Direct ammonia oxidation (Dirammox) might be of great significance to advance the innovation of biological nitrogen removal process in wastewater treatment systems. However, it remains unknown whether Dirammox bacteria can be selectively enriched in activated sludge. In this study, a lab-scale bioreactor was established and operated for 2 months to treat synthetic wastewater with hydroxylamine as a selection pressure. Three Dirammox strains (Alcaligenes aquatilis SDU_AA1, Alcaligenes aquatilis SDU_AA2, and Alcaligenes sp. SDU_A2) were isolated from the activated sludge, and their capability to perform Dirammox process was confirmed. Although these three Dirammox bacteria were undetectable in the seed sludge (0%), their relative abundances rapidly increased after a month of operation, reaching 12.65%, 0.69%, and 0.69% for SDU_A2, SDU_AA1, and SDU_AA2, respectively. Among them, the most dominant Dirammox (SDU_A2) exhibited higher nitrogen removal rate (32.35%) than the other two strains (13.57% of SDU_AA1 and 14.52% of SDU_AA2). Comparative genomic analysis demonstrated that the most dominant Dirammox bacterium (SDU_A2) possesses fewer complete metabolic modules compared to the other two less abundant Alcaligenes strains. Our findings expanded the understanding of the application of Dirammox bacteria as key functional microorganisms in a novel biological nitrogen and carbon removal process if they could be well stabilized. KEY POINTS: • Dirammox-dominated microbial community was enriched in activated sludge bioreactor. • The addition of hydroxylamine played a role in Dirammox enrichment. • Three Dirammox bacterial strains, including one novel species, were isolated.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 926:171963. [PMID: 38537835 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
Significant research is focused on the ability of riparian zones to reduce groundwater nitrate contamination. Owing to the extremely high redox activity of nitrate, naturally existing electron donors, such as organic matter and iron minerals, are crucial in facilitating nitrate reduction in the riparian zone. Here, we examined the coexistence of magnetite, an iron mineral, and nitrate, a frequently observed coexisting system in sediments, to investigate nitrate reduction features at various C/N ratios and evaluate the response of microbial communities to these settings. Additionally, we aimed to use this information as a foundation for examining the effect of nutritional conditions on the nitrate reduction process in magnetite-present environments. These results emphasise the significance of organic matter in enabling dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) and enhancing the connection between nitrate reduction and iron in sedimentary environments. In the later phases of nitrate reduction, nitrogen fixation was the prevailing process in low-carbon environments, whereas high-carbon environments tended to facilitate the breakdown of organic nitrogen. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed a robust association between C/N ratios and alterations in microbial community composition, providing insights into notable modifications in essential functioning microorganisms. The nitrogen-fixing bacterium Ralstonia is more abundant in ecosystems with scarce organic matter. In contrast, in settings rich in organic matter, microorganisms, such as Acinetobacter and Clostridia, which may produce ammonia, play crucial roles. Moreover, the population of iron bacteria grows in such an environment. Hence, this study proposes that C/N ratios can influence Fe(II)/Fe(III) conversions and simultaneously affect the process of nitrate reduction by shaping the composition of specific microbial communities.

Abstract
A salt-tolerant strain, Pseudomonas mendocina A4, was isolated from brackish-water ponds showing simultaneous heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification and phosphorus removal capability. The optimal conditions for nitrogen and phosphate removal of strain A4 were pH 7-8, carbon/nitrogen ratio 10, phosphorus/nitrogen ratio 0.2, temperature 30 °C, and salinity range of 0-5 % using sodium succinate as the carbon source. The nitrogen and phosphate removal efficiencies were 96-100 % and 88-96 % within 24 h, respectively. The nitrogen and phosphate removal processes were matched with the modified Gompertz model, and the underlying mechanisms were confirmed by the activities of key metabolic enzymes. Under 10 % salinity, the immobilization technology was employed to enhance the nitrogen and phosphate removal efficiencies of strain A4, achieving 87 % and 76 %, respectively. These findings highlight the potential application of strain A4 in both freshwater and marine culture wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The nitrite efficient utilization microorganism Wickerhamomyces anomalus RZWP01 was identified. Using nitrite and ammonium as the sole nitrogen source, the nitrogen removal rate of W. anomalus RZWP01 was 97.4% and 87.1%, respectively. W. anomalus RZWP01 grew well in the nitrite medium with glucose or xylose as the only carbon source. However, the W. anomalus RZWP01 cannot live on the nitrite medium with lactose, citric acid, and methanol as the only carbon source. The maximal cell concentration occurred in the nitrite medium with glucose as the only carbon source at a C/N ratio of 20 for 48 h, reaching 8.92 × 108 cell mL-1. W. anomalus RZWP01 was the first reported yeast that can efficiently utilize nitrite. The isolation and identification of W. anomalus RZWP01 enriched the microbial resources of nitrite-degrading microorganisms and provided functional microorganisms for the water treatment of sustainable aquaculture.

Abstract
Nitrate can be well removed by bacteria at 25-30 °C. However, nitrate removal almost ceases at temperatures lower than 5 °C. In this study, a novel hypothermic strain, Pseudomonas reactans WL20-3 exhibited an excellent aerobic nitrate removal ability at 4 °C. It had high capability for the removal of nitrate, total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) at 4 °C, achieving removal efficiencies of 100%, 87.91%, and 97.48%, respectively. The transcriptome analysis revealed all genes involved in the nitrate removal pathway were significantly up-regulated. Additionally, the up-regulation of ABC transporter genes and down-regulation of respiratory chain genes cooperated with the nitrate metabolism pathway to resist low-temperature stress. In actual sewage, inoculated with WL20-3, the nitrate removal efficiency was found to be 70.70%. Overall, these findings demonstrated the impressive capacity of the novel strain WL20-3 to remove nitrate and provided novel insights into the synergistic resistance mechanism of WL20-3 at low temperature.

Abstract
The aftermath of mining weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth ore produces a large amount of residual ammonium leaching solution, which causes ammonia and nitrogen pollution to the mine site. Recently, denitrification by heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) bacteria has attracted much attention. However, limited studies exist regarding the denitrification process of HN-AD bacteria. In this study, we combined four strains of HN-AD bacteria, Pseudomonas fulva K3, Pseudomonas mosselii K17, Klebsiella oxytoca A12, and Enterobacter hormaechei A16, obtained from rare earth element leaching sites, to select the best microbial consortium for ammonia nitrogen removal. We designed an ammonia removal process applicable to HN-AD bacteria to directly remove ammonia nitrogen from acidic leaching solutions. The experimental results demonstrated that the most efficient microbial consortium for ammonia nitrogen removal to be K3 + K17 + A16, with a removal efficiency of 89.68% for 8 h. In this process, considering the influencing factors of the ammonia removal process, the larger the influent flow rate and influent ammonia nitrogen concentration, the greater the ammonia nitrogen accumulation and pH decrease in the reactor. In consecutive multi-batch experiments, the ammonia removal process was used to remove ammonia nitrogen, at concentrations of 100-600 mg/L, from the simulated leaching solution at pH 4-7, whereby the effluent ammonia nitrogen concentration was lower than 15 mg/L. The results demonstrate that the ammonia removal process is highly feasible and stable. These findings will provide new ideas for the application of HN-AD bacteria and new methods for the removal of ammonia nitrogen from acidic leaching solutions.

Abstract
A novel strain AS1 with heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying capacity in the species of Alcaligenes aquatilis was isolated from the aerobic activated sludge. It showed a great capability of ammonia removal, and the aerobic metabolic pathways to yield gaseous-nitrogen by hydroxylamine oxidation and nitrite denitrification were proposed. AS1 could efficiently remove ammonia under a wide range of environmental conditions, including the ratio of chemical oxygen demand to total nitrogen: 15-30, pH: 6-10, NaCl: 0-60 g/L, shaking speed of 0-180 rpm, and succinate, acetate, or citrate as carbon source. In the treatment of actual piggery wastewater, 95.3%, 95.1% and 84.9% of NH4+-N was removed by AS1 when the initial ammonia concentration was 500, 1300, and 2000 mg/L, respectively, with the maximum NH4+-N removal rate of 30.5 mg/L/h and 569.7 mg/L/d. Furthermore, plate colony-counting showed that AS1 achieved an efficient proliferation. These results imply the application potential of AS1 in treating high-ammonia wastewater.

Abstract
A new heterotrophic nitrifying bacterium was isolated from the compost of swine manure and rice husk and identified as Alcaligenes faecalis SDU20. Strain SDU20 had heterotrophic nitrification potential and could remove 99.7% of the initial NH4+-N. Nitrogen balance analysis revealed that 15.9 and 12.3% of the NH4+-N were converted into biological nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen, respectively. The remaining 71.44% could be converted into N2 or N2O. Single-factor experiments showed that the optimal conditions for ammonium removal were the carbon source of sodium succinate, C/N ratio 10, initial pH 8.0, and temperature 30 °C. Nitrification genes were determined to be upregulated when sodium succinate was used as the carbon source analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Strain SDU20 could tolerate 4% salinity and show resistance to some heavy metal ions. Strain SDU20 removed 72.6% high concentrated NH4+-N of 2000 mg/L within 216 h. In a batch experiment, the highest NH4+-N removal efficiency of 98.7% and COD removal efficiency of 93.7% were obtained in the treatment of unsterilized swine wastewater. Strain SDU20 is promising in high-ammonium wastewater treatment.
