Abstract
Two cream-coloured strains (JC732T, JC733) of Gram-stain negative, mesophilic, catalase and oxidase positive, aerobic bacteria which divide by budding, form crateriform structures, and cell aggregates were isolated from marine habitats of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Both strains had genome size of 7.1 Mb and G + C content of 58.9%. Both strains showed highest 16S rRNA gene-based similarity with Blastopirellula retiformator Enr8T (98.7%). Strains JC732T and JC733 shared 100% identity of 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences. The coherence of both strains with the genus Blastopirellula was supported by the 16S rRNA gene based and the phylogenomic trees. Further, the chemo-taxonomic characters and the genome relatedness indices [ANI (82.4%), AAI (80.4%) and dDDH (25.2%)] also support the delineation at the species level. Both strains have the capability to degrade chitin and genome analysis shows the ability to fix N2. Based on the phylogenetic, phylogenomic, comparative genomic, morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics, strain JC732T is described as a new species of the genus Blastopirellula for which the name Blastopirellula sediminis sp. nov. is proposed, with strain JC733 as an additional strain.

A critical review on microbial ecology in the novel biological nitrogen removal process: Dynamic balance of complex functional microbes for nitrogen removal. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 857:159462. [PMID: 36257429 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The novel biological nitrogen removal process has been extensively studied for its high nitrogen removal efficiency, energy efficiency, and greenness. A successful novel biological nitrogen removal process has a stable microecological equilibrium and benign interactions between the various functional bacteria. However, changes in the external environment can easily disrupt the dynamic balance of the microecology and affect the activity of functional bacteria in the novel biological nitrogen removal process. Therefore, this review focuses on the microecology in existing the novel biological nitrogen removal process, including the growth characteristics of functional microorganisms and their interactions, together with the effects of different influencing factors on the evolution of microbial communities. This provides ideas for achieving a stable dynamic balance of the microecology in a novel biological nitrogen removal process. Furthermore, to investigate deeply the mechanisms of microbial interactions in novel biological nitrogen removal process, this review also focuses on the influence of quorum sensing (QS) systems on nitrogen removal microbes, regulated by which bacteria secrete acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) as signaling molecules to regulate microbial ecology in the novel biological nitrogen removal process. However, the mechanisms of action of AHLs on the regulation of functional bacteria have not been fully determined and the composition of QS system circuits requires further investigation. Meanwhile, it is necessary to further apply molecular analysis techniques and the theory of systems ecology in the future to enhance the exploration of microbial species and ecological niches, providing a deeper scientific basis for the development of a novel biological nitrogen removal process.

Abstract
The anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process has the advantages of high efficiency and low energy consumption, so it has broad application prospects in biological denitrification of wastewater. However, the application of anammox technology to existing wastewater treatment is still challenging. The main problems are the insufficient supply of nitrite and the susceptibility of anammox bacteria to environmental factors. In this paper, from the perspective of the diversity of anammox bacteria, the habitats and characteristics of anammox bacteria of different genera were compared. At the same time, laboratory research and engineering applications of anammox technology in treating wastewater from different sources were reviewed, and the progress of and obstacles to the practical application of anammox technology were clarified. Finally, a focus for future research was proposed to intensively study the water quality barrier factors of anammox and its regulation strategies. Meanwhile, a combined process was developed and optimized on this basis.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 210:113005. [PMID: 35231458 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 02/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2022] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
Excess sludge (ES) largely produced in municipal wastewater treatment plants is known as a waste biomass and the traditional treatment processes such as landfill and incineration are considered as unsustainable due to the negative environmental impact. Fermentation process of ES for the biorefinery of zero-carbon hydrogen has attracted an increasing interesting and was extensively researched in the last decades. However, the technology is far from commercial application due to the insufficient effectivity. In the present study, anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS) as electron shuttles was introduced into the fermentation process of ES for mediating the composition and activity of bacterial community to get an enhanced biohydrogen production. Inoculated with the same anaerobic activated sludge of 1.12 gVSS/L, a series of batch anaerobic fermentation systems with various dosage of AQS were conducted at the same ES load of 2.75 gVSS/L, initial pH 6.5 and 35 °C. The results showed that the fermentation process was remarkably enhanced by the introduction of 100 mg/L AQS, accompanying the lag phase was shortened to 1.35 h from 7.62. The obtained biohydrogen yield and the specific biohydrogen production rate were also remarkably enhanced to 24.9 mL/gVSS and 0.3 mL/(gVSS·h), respectively. Illumina Miseq sequencing showed that Longilinea and Guggenheimella as the dominant genera had been enriched from 9.2% to 0-12.0% and 4.7%, respectively, in the presence of 100 mg/L AQS. Function predicted analysis suggested that the presence of AQS had increased the abundance of genes involved in the transport and metabolism of carbohydrate, amino acid and energy production. Further redundancy analysis (RDA) revealed that the enhanced hydrogen production was highly positively correlated with the enrichment of genera such as Longilinea and Guggenheimella. The research work presents a novel potential biorefinery of ES for the effective production of zero-carbon hydrogen.

Abstract
Anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) process was achieved in a constructed rapid infiltration (CRI) system and the effect of organic matter on the anammox performance and microbial community structure was investigated. The results showed that the removal efficiencies of NH4+-N, NO2-N and TN were 99.7 ± 0.3%, 99.8 ± 0.2% and 91.3 ± 0.2% respectively after 83 days of acclimation without the presence of organic matter in the influent. The average TN removal efficiency increased by 3.2%-7.7% due to the synergistic effect of anammox and denitrification at a low level of organic matter concentration (10-30 mg COD/L). At medium or high organic matter concentration (50-100 mg COD/L), denitrification gradually replaced anammox as the predominant nitrogen removal route due to its stronger ability to compete with substrate, resulting in a significant decline in anammox activity. The contribution rate of anammox to nitrogen removal dropped by 70.3% with the influent COD increased from 0 to 100 mg/L, and the TN removal efficiency decreased to 68.4 ± 3.6% since the anammox was seriously suppressed. 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing analysis illustrated that the genus Candidatus Kuenenia was the predominant anammox bacteria (AAOB) with a relative abundance of 12.63% when no organic matter was applied. While the heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria (DNB) Thauera gradually dominated the community with the elevated organic matter introduction. The findings of this study provide useful information for the stable operation and optimal regulation of anammox in the CRI system when the influent contains organic matter.

Abstract
The adaptation of bacteria involved in the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) to low temperatures in the mainstream of WWTP will unlock substantial treatment savings. However, their adaptation mechanisms have begun to be revealed only very recently. This study reviewed the state-of-the-art knowledge on these mechanisms from -omics studies, crucially including metaproteomics and metabolomics. Anammox bacteria adapt to low temperatures by synthesizing both chaperones of RNA and proteins and chemical chaperones. Furthermore, they preserve energy for the core metabolism by reducing biosynthesis in general. Thus, in this study, a number of biomarkers are proposed to help practitioners assess the extent of anammox bacteria adaptation and predict the decomposition of biofilms/granules or slower growth. The promising biomarkers also include unique ladderane lipids. Further proteomic and metabolomic studies are necessary for a more detailed understanding of anammox low-temperature adaptation, thus easing the transition to more cost-effective and sustainable wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Four subsurface flow constructed wetlands (SFCWs) filled with different substrates including ceramsite, ceramsite+pyrite, ceramsite+ferrous sulfide, and ceramsite+pyrite+ferrous sulfide (labeled as SFCW-S1, SFCW-S2, SFCW-S3, and SFCW-S4) were constructed, and the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus by these SFCWs coupled with intermittent aeration in the front section was discussed. The key findings from different substrate analyses, including nitrification and denitrification rate, enzyme activity, microbial community structure, and the X-ray diffraction, revealed the nitrogen and phosphorus removal mechanism. The results showed that the nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency for SFCW-S1 always remained the lowest, and the phosphorus removal efficiency for SFCW-S4 was recorded as the highest one. However, after controlling the dissolved oxygen by intermittent aeration in the front section of SFCWs, the nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies of SFCWs-S2 and S4 became higher than those of SFCW-S1, and SFCW-S3. It was noticed that the pollutants were removed mainly in the front section of the SFCWs. Both precipitation and adsorption on the substrate were the main mechanisms for phosphorus removal. A minute difference of nitrification rate and ammonia monooxygenase activity was observed in the SFCWs' aeration zone. The denitrification rates, nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, and electron transport system activity for SFCW-S2 and SFCW-S4 were higher than those detected for SFCW-S1 and SFCW-S3 in the non-aerated zone. Proteobacteria was the largest phyla found in the SFCWs. Moreover, Thiobacillus occupied a large proportion found in SFCW-S2, and SFCW-S4, and it played a crucial role in pyrite-driven autotrophic denitrification.
