ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 360:124638. [PMID: 39089474 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124638] [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: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 07/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
A comparative study explored how photoaging, ozonation aging, and Fenton aging affect tire wear particles (TWPs) and their phosphorus (P) removal in activated sludge. Aging altered TWPs' properties, increasing surface roughness, porosity, and generating more small particles, especially environmental persistent free radicals (EPFRs) in ozonation and Fenton aging. Post-aging TWPs (50 mg/L) inhibited sludge P removal significantly (p < 0.05), with rates of 44.3% and 59.6% for ozonation and Fenton aging, respectively. In addition, the metabolites involved in P cycling (poly-β-hydroxyalkanoates: PHA and glycogen) and essential enzymes (Exopolyphosphatase: PPX and Polyphosphate kinase: PPK) were significantly inhibited (p < 0.05). Moreover, TWPs led to a decrease in microbial cells within the sludge and altered the community structure, a situation exacerbated by the aging of TWPs. P-removing bacteria decreased (e.g., Burkholderia, Candidatus), while extracellular polymeric substance-secreting bacteria increased (e.g., Pseudomonas, Novosphingobium). Pearson correlation analysis highlighted EPFRs' role in TWPs' acute toxicity to microbial cells, yet, emphasizing particle size's impact on the sludge system's purification and community structure.

Successful operation of nitrifying granules at low pH in a continuous-flow reactor: Nitrification performance, granule stability, and microbial community. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 366:121793.

Abstract
Acidic nitrification, as a novel process for treating wastewater without sufficient alkalinity, has received increasing attention over the years. In this study, a continuous-flow reactor with aerobic granular sludge was successful operated at low pH (<6.5) performing high-rate acidic nitrification. Volumetric ammonium oxidation rate of 0.4-1.2 kg/(m3·d) were achieved with the specific biomass activities of 5.8-13.9 mg N/(gVSS·h). Stable partial nitritation with nitrite accumulation efficiency over 85% could be maintained at pH above 6 with the aid of residual ammonium, whereas the nitrite accumulation disappeared when pH was below 6. Interestingly, the granule morphology significantly improved during the acidic operation. The increased secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (especially polysaccharides) suggested a self-protective behavior of microbes in the aerobic granules against acidic stress. 16S rRNA gene sequencing analyses indicated that Candidatus Nitrospira defluvii was always the dominant nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, while the dominant ammonia-oxidizing bacteria shifted from Nitrosomonas europaea to Nitrosomonas mobilis. This study, for the first time, demonstrated the improved stability of aerobic granules under acidic conditions, and also highlighted aerobic granules as a useful solution to achieve high-rate acidic nitrification.

Abstract
Inadequate management and treatment of wastewater pose significant threats, including environmental pollution, degradation of water quality, depletion of global water resources, and detrimental effects on human well-being. Biogranulation technology has gained increasing traction for treating both domestic and industrial wastewater, garnering interest from researchers and industrial stakeholders alike. However, the literature lacks comprehensive bibliometric analyses that examine and illuminate research hotspots and trends in this field. This study aims to elucidate the global research trajectory of scientific output in biogranulation technology from 1992 to 2022. Utilizing data from the Scopus database, we conducted an extensive analysis, employing VOSviewer and the R-studio package to visualize and map connections and collaborations among authors, countries, and keywords. Our analysis revealed a total of 1703 journal articles published in English. Notably, China emerged as the leading country, Jin Rencun as the foremost author, Bioresource Technology as the dominant journal, and Environmental Science as the prominent subject area, with the Harbin Institute of Technology leading in institutional contributions. The most prominent author keyword identified through VOSviewer analysis was "aerobic granular sludge," with "sequencing batch reactor" emerging as the dominant research term. Furthermore, our examination using R Studio highlighted "wastewater treatment" and "sewage" as notable research terms within the field. These findings underscore a diverse research landscape encompassing fundamental aspects of granule formation, reactor design, and practical applications. This study offers valuable insights into biogranulation potential for efficient wastewater treatment and environmental remediation, contributing to a sustainable and cleaner future.

Abstract
The shelled pteropod Creseis acicula is a marine pelagic shellfish widely distributed from temperate to tropical seas around the world. From June to July 2020, a C. acicula bloom first happened in the Daya Bay, southern China, and its density reached the highest value (5600 ind. m-3) ever recorded around the world. However, few studies have investigated the responses of bacterial communities to the C. acicula bloom. In the present study, we examined the community profiles of three communities of bacteria including the free-living and particle-attached bacteria in the blooming and reference waters, and bacteria attached to the whole body and shell of C. acicula using a high-throughput sequencing method. The results indicated that the C. acicula bloom had a greater impact on particle-attached bacteria than free-living bacteria. Among the bloom-sensitive particle-attached bacteria, the predominant bacterial phyla were Pseudomonadota, Bacteroidota and Verrucomicrobiota in the blooming areas, whereas they were Actinomycetota and Planctomycetota in the reference areas. Specifically, fecal bacteria Haloferula and Halioglobus spp. were significantly enriched in the blooming waters and accumulated on C. acicula shells. Conversely, the significantly lower relative abundance of Nocardioides sp. in the blooming area and accumulated on the whole body of C. acicula indicated their attachment to particles consumed by C. acicula. Overall, our results suggested that the C. acicula bloom influenced marine bacteria, particularly particle-attached bacteria, by increasing (e.g. providing shells and feces) or decreasing (e.g. filter-feeding the suspended particles) the abundance of available substances.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 393:130174.

Abstract
As dosing additives benefit for aerobic granular sludge (AGS) cultivation, effects of different concentrations (0, 10, 50 and 100 mg/L) of magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) on aerobic granulation, contaminant removal and potential microbial community evolution related to acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) mediated bacterial communication were investigated with municipal wastewater. Results showed that the required time to achieve granulation ratio > 70 % was reduced by 60, 90 and 30 days in phase II with addition of 10, 50, 100 mg/L Fe3O4 NPs, respectively. 50 mg/L Fe3O4 NPs can improve contaminant removal efficiency. The promotion of relative abundance of AHLs-producing and AHLs-producing/quenching populations and AHLs-related functional genes accompanied with faster granulation. Iron-cycling-related bacteria were closely related with AHLs-related bacteria during AGS formation. Co-occurrence network analyses showed that AHLs-mediated communication may play an important role in coordinating microbial community composition and functional bacteria participating in nitrogen and polyphosphate metabolisms during aerobic granulation process.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 342:123115.

Abstract
The use, overuse, and improper use of antibiotics have resulted in higher levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs), which have profoundly disturbed the equilibrium of the environment. Furthermore, once antibiotic agents are excreted in urine and feces, these substances often can reach wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), in which improper treatments have been highlighted as the main reason for stronger dissemination of antibiotics, ARB, and ARGs to the receiving bodies. Hence, achieving better antibiotic removal capacities in WWTPs is proposed as an adequate approach to limit the spread of antibiotics, ARB, and ARGs into the environment. In this review, we highlight hospital wastewater (WW) as a critical hotspot for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance due to its high level of antibiotics and pathogens. Hence, monitoring the composition and structure of the bacterial communities related to hospital WW is a key factor in controlling the spread of ARGs. In addition, we discuss the advantages and drawbacks of the current biological WW treatments regarding the antibiotic-resistance phenomenon. Widely used conventional activated sludge technology has proved to be ineffective in mitigating the dissemination of ARB and ARGs to the environment. However, aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology is a promising technology-with broad adaptability and excellent performance-that could successfully reduce antibiotics, ARB, and ARGs in the generated effluents. We also outline the main operational parameters involved in mitigating antibiotics, ARB, and ARGs in WWTPs. In this regard, WW operation under long hydraulic and solid retention times allows better removal of antibiotics, ARB, and ARGs independently of the WW technology employed. Finally, we address the current knowledge of the adsorption and degradation of antibiotics and their importance in removing ARB and ARGs. Notably, AGS can enhance the removal of antibiotics, ARB, and ARGs due to the complex microbial metabolism within the granular biomass.

Abstract
The retention of dense and well-functioning microbial biomass is crucial for effective pollutant removal in several biological wastewater treatment technologies. High solids retention is often achieved through aggregation of microbial communities into dense, spherical aggregates known as granules, which were initially discovered in the 1980s. These granules have since been widely applied in upflow anaerobic digesters for waste-to-energy conversions. Furthermore, granular biomass has been applied in aerobic wastewater treatment and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) technologies. The mechanisms underpinning the formation of methanogenic, aerobic, and anammox granules are the subject of ongoing research. Although each granule type has been extensively studied in isolation, there has been a lack of comparative studies among these granulation processes. It is likely that there are some unifying concepts that are shared by all three sludge types. Identifying these unifying concepts could allow a unified theory of granulation to be formed. Here, we review the granulation mechanisms of methanogenic, aerobic, and anammox granular sludge, highlighting several common concepts, such as the role of extracellular polymeric substances, cations, and operational parameters like upflow velocity and shear force. We have then identified some unique features of each granule type, such as different internal structures, microbial compositions, and quorum sensing systems. Finally, we propose that future research should prioritize aspects of microbial ecology, such as community assembly or interspecies interactions in individual granules during their formation and growth.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 348:119226.

Abstract
This study investigated the influence of nitrate on aerobic granular sludge (AGS) granulation. The introduction of nitrate at 5, 15 and 20 mg L-1 promoted AGS granulation, and the promoting effect was positively correlated with nitrate concentrations. Meanwhile, exogenous nitrate significantly increased denitrification rate in the AGS system. However, granular disintegration appeared at a long-term addition of nitrate. An in-deep analysis showed that nitrate stimulated the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), especially the content of proteins, which might be the main reason for the AGS granulation. However, the rapid and excessive increase in EPS might cause granular disintegration, as excessive EPS blocked the transmission of substrates, leading to the increase of dead cells in the granules. Besides, nitrate also altered the hydrophobicity of EPS and the content of α-helix, 3-turned helix and polymeric chain that favored aggregation, which also affected AGS granulation. From the microbial community level, nitrate induced the enrichment of denitrifying bacteria, including those that also functioned as EPS producers, such as Micropruina and Flavobacterium, resulting in the rapid increase of functional enzymes associated with amino acid synthesis, thereby promoting the secretion of proteins in EPS. Conversely, disintegration caused by mass transfer blockage might lead to the loss of EPS producing bacteria and subsequent decrease in EPS content, further accelerating granular disintegration.

Abstract
While granulated activated sludge exhibits high productivity, the processes of granule formation are incompletely studied. The processes of granule formation and succession of communities were investigated in a laboratory sequencing batch reactor (SBR) under conditions for enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) using microbiological and molecular techniques. Active consumption of acetate, primarily by the phosphate-accumulating organisms (PAO), commenced at day 150 of cultivation. This was indicated by the high ratio of molar P-released/acetate uptake (0.73-0.77 P-mol/C-mol), characteristic of PAO. During this period, two types of granule-like aggregates formed spontaneously out of the activated sludge flocs. The aggregates differed in morphology and microbial taxonomic composition. While both aggregate types contained phosphorus-enriched bacterial cells, PAO prevailed in those of morphotype I, and glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs) were predominant in the aggregates of morphotype II. After 250 days, the elimination of the morphotype II aggregates from the reactor was observed. The subsequent selection of the community was associated with the development of the morphotype I aggregates, in which the relative abundance of PAO increased significantly, resulting in higher efficiency of phosphorus removal. Metagenomic analysis revealed a predominance of the organisms closely related to Candidatus Accumulibacter IС and IIС and of Ca. Accumulibacter IIB among the PAO. Based on the content of the genes of the key metabolic pathways, the genomes of potential PAO belonging to the genera Amaricoccus, Azonexus, Thauera, Zoogloea, Pinisolibacter, and Siculibacillus were selected. The patterns of physicochemical processes and the microbiome structure associated with granule formation and succession of the microbial communities were revealed.

Abstract
To investigate energy-saving approaches in wastewater treatment plants and decrease aeration energy consumption, this study successfully established a floc-granule coexistence system in a sequencing batch airlift reactor (SBAR) employing micro-bubble aeration. The analysis focused on granule formation and pollutant removal under various aeration intensities, and compared its performance with a traditional floc-based coarse-bubble aeration system. The results showed that granulation efficiency was positively associated with aeration intensity, which enhanced the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) and facilitated granule formation. The SBAR with the micro-aeration intensity of 30 mL·min-1 showed the best granulation performance (granulation efficiency 52.6%). In contrast to the floc-based system, the floc-granule coexistence system showed better treatment performance, and the best removal efficiencies of NH4+-N, TN, and TP were 100.0, 77.0, and 89.5%, respectively. The floc-granule coexistence system also enriched higher abundance of nutrients removal microbial species, such as Nitrosomonas (0.05-0.14%), Nitrospira (0.14-2.32%), Azoarcus (2.95-12.17%), Thauera (0.43-1.95%), and Paracoccus (0.76-2.89%). The energy-saving potential was evaluated, which indicated it is feasible for the micro-aeration floc-granule coexistence system to decrease the aeration consumption by 14.4% as well as improve the effluent.

Abstract
Microplastics and perfluorooctanoic acid coexist in the aquatic environment. Duckweed was exposed to a range of concentrations (0.1-1000 μg L-1) of solutions containing polypropylene (PP) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) for 14 days to measure their toxicity. The result showed the single and combined PP and PFOA treatments did not significantly influence the growth of duckweed. The greatest PP and PFOA concentrations of combined pollution affect plant chlorophyll. Moreover, the combined treatment of duckweed consistently resulted in increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, indicating oxidative damage. As an antioxidant stress response, the combination-treated plants were encouraged to produce superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT). Meanwhile, 3519 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) were identified in the duckweed rhizosphere. Proteobacteria was the most predominant microbial community. Shannon, Simpson, and Chao1 discovered that microbial communities changed in response to single and combination PP and PFOA treatments, with decreased diversity and increased abundance. In addition, SEM analysis also revealed that the combined treatment significantly phyllosphere microorganisms. The findings of this investigation add to our knowledge of how PP and PFOA affect duckweed and the rhizospheric microorganisms, expanding the theoretical basis for employing duckweed in complex contamination.

Abstract
The high-efficiency and additionally economic benefits generated from aerobic granular sludge (AGS) wastewater treatment have led to its increasing popularity among academics and industrial players. The AGS process can recycle high value-added biomaterials including extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), sodium alginate-like external polymer (ALE), polyhydroxyfatty acid (PHA), and phosphorus (P), etc., which can serve various fields including agriculture, construction, and chemical while removing pollutants from wastewaters. The effects of various key operation parameters on formation and structural stability of AGS are comprehensively summarized. The degradable metabolism of typical pollutants and corresponding microbial diversity and succession in the AGS wastewater treatment system are also discussed, especially with a focus on emerging contaminants removal. In addition, recent attempts for potentially effective production of high value-added biomaterials from AGS are proposed, particularly concerning improving the yield, quality, and application of these biomaterials. This review aims to provide a reference for in-depth research on the AGS process, suggesting a new alternative for wastewater treatment recycling.

Adverse effects of polystyrene nanoplastics on sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus and their association with gut microbiota dysbiosis. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 330:138568.

Abstract
The mariculture environment is a sink of microplastics (MPs) due to its enclosed nature and mass use of plastics. Nanoplastics (NPs) are MPs with a diameter <1 μm that have a more toxic effect on aquatic organisms than other MPs. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of NP toxicity on mariculture species. Here, we performed a multi-omics investigation to explore gut microbiota dysbiosis and associated health problems induced by NPs in juvenile sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus, a commercially and ecologically important marine invertebrate. We observed significant differences in gut microbiota composition after 21 days of NP exposure. Ingestion of NPs significantly increased core gut microbes, especially Rhodobacteraceae and Flavobacteriaceae families. Additionally, gut gene expression profiles were altered by NPs, especially those related to neurological diseases and movement disorders. Correlation and network analyses indicated close relationships between transcriptome changes and gut microbiota variation. Furthermore, NPs induced oxidative stress in sea cucumber intestines, which may be associated with intraspecies variation in Rhodobacteraceae in the gut microbiota. The results suggested that NPs were harmful to the health of sea cucumbers, and they highlighted the importance of the gut microbiota in the responses to NP toxicity in marine invertebrates.

Characteristics of algal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge treating real wastewater: Effects of algal inoculation and alginate-like exopolymers recovery. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 329:138595.

Abstract
Limited information is available on the characteristics of algal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge (AGS) treating real wastewater, especially on its alginate-like exopolymers (ALE) production. In addition, the effect of target microalgae species inoculation on the system performance has not been fully understood. This study aimed to reveal the effect of microalgae inoculation on the characteristics of algal-bacterial AGS and its ALE production potential. Two photo-sequencing batch reactors (PSBR) were employed, namely R1 with activated sludge and R2 with Tetradesmus sp. and activated sludge being inoculated, respectively. Both reactors were fed with locally sourced municipal wastewater and operated for 90 days. Algal-bacterial AGS were successfully cultivated in both reactors. No significant difference was observed between the performances of R1 and R2, reflecting that the inoculation of target microalgae species may not be crucial for the development of algal-bacterial AGS when treating real wastewater. Both reactors achieved an ALE yield of about 70 mg/g of volatile suspended solids (VSS), indicating that a substantial amount of biopolymer can be recovered from wastewater. Interestingly, boron was detected in all the ALE samples, which might contribute to granulation and interspecies quorum sensing. The enrichment of lipids content in ALE from algal-bacterial AGS treating real wastewater reveals its high resource recovery potential. Overall, the algal-bacterial AGS system is a promising biotechnology for simultaneous municipal wastewater treatment and resource (like ALE) recovery.

Abstract
Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) systems have great potential for biopolymers recovery, especially when subjected to adverse conditions. This work aimed to study the production of alginate-like exopolymers (ALE) and tryptophan (TRY) under osmotic pressure in conventional and staggered feeding regimes. The results revealed that systems operated with conventional feed accelerated the granulation, although less resistant to saline pressures. The staggered feeding systems favored better denitrification conditions and long-term stability. Salt addition gradient increase influenced biopolymers' production. However, staggered feeding, despite decreasing the famine period, did not influence the production of resources and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Sludge retention time (SRT), which was not controlled, proved to be an important operational parameter with negative influences on biopolymers' production in values greater than 20 days. Thus, the principal component analysis confirmed that the production of ALE at low SRT is related to better-formed granules with good sedimentation characteristics and good AGS performances.

Abstract
Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a layered microbial aggregate formed by the ordered self-assembly of different microbial populations. In this study, the outer layer (OL), middle layer (ML), and the inner layer (IL) of matured AGS were obtained by circular cutting. The adhesion of microorganisms in IL was significantly higher than that in OL and ML during the famine period, while the adhesion of microorganisms in ML and OL was significantly higher than that in IL during the feast period, confirming that the formation of AGS started in the famine period, and the feast period promoted the increase of particle size. Microorganisms in the three-layer structure were highly diverse and rich in genes for cytochrome c oxidase synthesis with oxygen as the electron acceptor. G_Pseudoxanthomonas was the dominant bacterium in OL. Its spatial distribution increased gradually from the inside to the outside. G_Rhodanobacter was the dominant bacterium in IL. Its spatial distribution gradually decreased from the inside to the outside. The microorganisms in IL contained abundant pili genes. During the self-assembly process of particle formation, G_ Rhodanobaker adhered stronger than G_ Pseudoxanthomonas. The interface between aerobic and anoxic was about 0.6 mm away from the granule surface. Combined with the electron mediator properties of the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) in granules, it was speculated that the degradation of organic substrates located in the anoxic layer relied on EPS as a mediator for long-range electron transfer, and finally transferred electrons to O2. This study provides a new viewpoint on the formation mechanism of AGS from the perspective of the ordered self-assembly of microorganisms, offering a theoretical basis for the optimal selection of culture conditions and the application of AGS technology.

Abstract
Tire wear particles (TWPs) are considered to be one of the major sources of microplastics (MPs) in sewers; however, little has been reported on the surface properties and photochemical behavior of TWPs, especially in terms of their environmental persistent radicals, leachate type, and response after photoaging. It is also unknown how TWPs influence the production of common pollutants (e.g., sulfides) in anaerobic biofilms in sewers. In our study, the effects of cryogenically milled tire treads (C-TWPs) and their corresponding photoaging products (photoaging-TWPs, A-TWPs) on anaerobic biofilm sulfide production in sewers and related mechanisms were studied. The results showed that the two TWPs at a low concentration (0.1 mg L-1) exerted no significant (p > 0.05) effects on sulfide yield, whereas exposure to a high concentration of TWPs (100 mg L-1) inversely affected sulfide yield, with A-TWPs exerting a significant inhibitory effect on sulfide yield in the sewers (p < 0.01). The main reason was that A-TWPs carried higher concentrations of reactive environmental persistent radicals on their surfaces after photoaging than C-TWPs, which could induce the formation of oxygen radicals. In addition, A-TWPs were more uniformly distributed in the wastewater system and could penetrate the biofilm to damage bacterial cells, and their ability to leach polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals such as zinc additives enhanced their toxic effects. In contrast, C-TWPs contributed significantly to sulfide production (p < 0.01), primarily because of their low biotoxicity, ability to leach a considerable amount of sulfide, and stimulatory effect on anaerobic biofilm surface sulfate-reducing bacteria. Our study complements the toxicity studies of the TWPs particles themselves and provides insight on a new influencing factor for determining the changes in sulfide generation and control measures in sewers.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as polar organic pollutants, their potential harm to the environment has caused widespread concern. This study describes a simple method to prepare modified aerobic granular sludge (AGS) by hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD). Using HP-β-CD modified AGS as the adsorbent, the removal of specific PAHs: Fluoranthene (Fla) reached 95% comparing to 80% of the unmodified AGS. The removal of Fla was related to initial concentration, temperature and ion concentration (Na+, Mg2+). The removal efficiency of Fla reached 96.27%, 94.26% and 93.69%, when initial concentration of Fla was 10, 15 and 20 μmol/L. At temperatures of 15°C, 30°C and 45°C, the removal efficiency of Fla (15 μmol/L) gradually improved from 87.20% to 94.84% and 95.73%. The presence of Na+ and Mg2+ ions led to the deterioration of PAHs removal. With the increase of Na+ and Mg2+ concentrations, the removal efficiency of modified AGS on PAHs decreased by 3.9% and 6.5%, respectively. These findings indicate the potential application of cyclodextrins as the active sites of a complex modified polymer network for PAHs wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) could improve the stress resistance and adaptability of submerged macrophytes. This study investigated the physiological and biochemical responses of plants exposed to different P and Pb, Cd concentrations. Alterations of protein synthesis, the DNA methylation (5-mC) level, and the microbial community of biofilm were also evaluated. Results indicated that lower P (0.5 mg·L-1) could promote plant growth and metal enrichment while mitigating the toxicity of metals. Higher P (5.0 mg·L-1) induced a degree of oxidative stress, as confirmed by increased activity of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and acid phosphatase, as well as increased malondialdehyde contents. While the variation of metallothionein synthesis and DNA methylation level of the plant was dependent on the level of P and metals in the water. These responses indicated potential mechanisms of P detoxification and intoxication. In addition, more abundant microbial communities were observed in biofilms exposed to P and metals. These findings provide theoretical support for the metal detoxification of P in submerged plants.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria bloom is a global aquatic ecological problem that seriously threatens human health and social development. The outbreak of cyanobacteria bloom is affected by various environmental factors, among which light dose is an essential factor. In this study, the growth changes of cyanobacteria under different amounts of natural light were studied by simulating different depths of Taihu Lake, and we used 16S rRNA and non-targeted metabolomics for sequencing to reveal the effects of light on the diversity of cyanobacteria and coexisting microorganisms, and to analyze the changes of related genes, functional structures and internal metabolism involved in nitrogen cycling. The result shows that excessive and insufficient light could limit the growth, photosynthesis, and EPS secretion of cyanobacteria, resulting in an antioxidant stress response. At the same time, the amount of natural light affects the vertical distribution of cyanobacteria, and under the condition of 1/3 natural light, cyanobacteria first appeared to float. In addition, the amount of natural light affects the diversity, abundance, and metabolites of cyanobacteria and coexisting microorganisms, and the expression of nifH, nirK, and nirS, three nitrogen-fixing genes, is significantly different in different genera. This study provides valuable information on the molecular mechanism of the effects of the amount of natural light on cyanobacteria bloom.

Abstract
Landfill leachates are high-strength complex mixtures containing dissolved organic matter, ammonia, heavy metals, and sulfur species, among others. The problem of leachate treatment has subsisted for some time, but an efficient and cost-effective universal solution capable of ensuring environmental resources protection has not been found. Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has been considered a promising technology for biological wastewater treatment in recent years. Granules' layered structure, with an aerobic outer layer and an anaerobic/anoxic core, enables the presence of diverse microbial populations without the need for support media, allowing simultaneous removal of different pollutants in a single unit. Besides, its strong and compact arrangement provides higher tolerance to toxic pollutants and the ability to withstand large load fluctuations. Furthermore, its good that settling properties allow high biomass retention and better sludge separation. Nevertheless, AGS-related research has focused on carbon-nitrogen-phosphorus removal, mainly from sanitary sewage. This review aims to summarize and analyze the main findings and problems reported in the literature regarding AGS application to landfill leachate treatment and identify the knowledge gaps for future applications.

Abstract
Periodic starvation was a common strategy for the rapid start-up of aerobic granular sludge (AGS), and investigating the behavior of microbes that originated from inner or outer layer in response to feast/famine condition could provide more details for the development or stability of AGS. In this work, the microbes of the AGS were isolated by layers, the aggregation of microbes, the adhesion behavior of microbes, and viscoelasticity of the layer formed by microbes, at feast/famine conditions, were investigated for the in-depth understanding of the start-up and stability of AGS. The famine condition reduced the negative charge and deprotonated carboxyl groups of the surface thereby boosting the aggregation and adhesion of microbes. The feast condition was more beneficial for the stability of the layer as it caused a denser layer of microbes. The inner core microbes (IC) presented a higher aggregation rate than the outer layer microbes (OL) at feast/famine conditions. Also, the IC presented the highest aggregation rate, adhesion rate, and adhesion mass at famine conditions, which was most in favor of the start-up stage of the aerobic granulation. Since the denser layer was formed by IC, IC had better advantages over OL at the famine stage in the formation of a more stable layer. This study affirmed the role of microbes in the inner layer of the granule during the start-up phase and provided a theoretical basis for understanding the significance of the famine period for rapid granulation.

Abstract
Microplastics pose a serious threat to ecological processes and environmental health. To evaluate the toxic effects of the exposure of microplastics on submerged plants and biofilms, eel grass (Vallisneria natans) was exposed to different concentrations of microplastics (10-50 mg L-1). The changes in microbial community on leaf biofilms were also tested. The results showed that the ratio of variable fluorescence to maximum fluorescence was largely unchanged, but the contents of chlorophyll a and b increased by 56.5% and 23.0% respectively. Different concentrations of exposure to microplastics effectively induced antioxidant responses, such as increasing the activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase, as well as increasing the activity of glutathione S-transferase and the contents of glutathione and malondialdehyde. In addition, the leaf flesh cells of Vallisneria natans showed some degree of organelle damage when examined by transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, a high-throughput sequencing analysis showed that the abundances and structure of the microbial community on the leaf biofilms were altered by exposure to microplastics. These results demonstrated that environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastics could disrupt homeostasis, induce effective defense mechanisms of Vallisneria natans and alter the biofilms in aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Aerobic biocathodes are effective construct for the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, but the disturbance of cathodic oxygen reduction on ammonia oxidation and denitrification remains unclear. In this study, we revealed the oxygen reduction peak at -0.4 V (versus silver/silver chloride) by cyclic voltammetry analysis at a cathode without a biofilm. The reduction peak, however, showed a right shift from -0.4 to -0.3 V for the biocathode, indicating that the aerobic biocathode could simultaneously perform traditional nitrification and cathode oxygen reduction. Therefore, different electrode potentials ranging from -0.5 to -0.1 V were designed for regulating the ammonia oxidation rate, and the results showed that the highest oxidation rate reached 3.08 mg/h/L at a potential of -0.2 V under a low-aeration rate of 5 mL/min. High-throughput sequencing showed that Nitrosomonas and Rhodococcus were the dominant nitrogen removal genera in the biocathode, and the abundance of Devosia was related to the interactions between the aeration rate and the electrode potential. Furthermore, the amoC and hao genes responded to aeration and electrode potential regulation, and -0.2 V was more suitable for promoting the denitrification process under low-aeration conditions. Therefore, these findings provided new insights on cathodic potential control for ammonia oxidation and nitrogen removal as well as for the regulation of microbial communities.

Abstract
The fate of antibiotics in activated sludge has attracted increasing interests. However, the focus needs to shift from concerning removal efficiencies to understanding mechanisms and sludge responding to antibiotic toxicity. Herein, we operated two anaerobic sequencing batch reactors (ASBRs) for 200 days with sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) added. The removal efficiency of SMX was higher than that of SDZ. SDZ was removed via adsorption (9.91-21.18%) and biodegradation (10.20-16.00%), while biodegradation (65.44-86.26%) was dominant for SMX removal. The mechanisms involved in adsorption and biodegradation were investigated, including adsorption strength, adsorption sites and the roles of enzymes. Protein-like substance (tryptophan) functioned vitally in adsorption by forming complexes with sulfonamides. P450 enzymes may catalyze sulfonamides degradation via hydroxylation and desulfurization. Activated sludge showed distinct responses to different sulfonamides, reflected in the changes of microbial communities and functions. These responses were related to sulfonamides removal, corresponding to the stronger adsorption capacity of activated sludge in ASBR-SDZ and degradation capacity in ASBR-SMX. Furthermore, the reasons for different removal efficiencies of sulfonamides were analyzed according to steric and electronic effects. These findings propose insights into antibiotic removal and broaden the knowledge for self-protection mechanisms of activated sludge under chronic toxicities of antibiotics.

Abstract
The advantageous characteristics of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) have led to their increasing popularities among academics and industrial players. However, there has been no bibliometric report on current and future research trends of AGS. This study utilized the available reports of AGS in the Scopus database for comprehensive bibliometric analyses using VOSviewer software. A total of 1203 research articles from 1997 to 2020 were analyzed. The dominance of the Netherlands and China were revealed by the high number of publications and citations. Nevertheless, the Netherlands exhibited higher average citation per article at 76.4. A recent process of AGS involving biochar and algal addition were also identified. Meanwhile, the application of AGS for antibiotic containing wastewater as well as possibility of resource recovery were recently reported and was expected to expand in the future. It was suggested that application of AGS would develop further along with the development of sustainable wastewater treatment process.

Abstract
Abstract Wastewater treatment using aerobic granular sludge has gained increasing interest due to its advantages compared to conventional activated sludge. The technology allows simultaneous removal of organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in a single reactor system and is independent of space-intensive settling tanks. However, due to the microscale, an analysis of processes and microbial population along the radius of granules is challenging. Here, we introduce a model system for aerobic granular sludge on a small scale by using a machine-assisted microfluidic cultivation platform. With an implemented logic module that controls solenoid valves, we realized alternating oxic hunger and anoxic feeding phases for the biofilms growing within. Sampling during ongoing anoxic cultivation directly from the cultivation channel was achieved with a robotic sampling device. Analysis of the biofilms was conducted using optical coherence tomography, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and amplicon sequencing. Using this setup, it was possible to significantly enrich the percentage of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAO) belonging to the family Rhodocyclaceae in the community compared to the starting inoculum. With the aid of this miniature model system, it is now possible to investigate the influence of a multitude of process parameters in a highly parallel way to understand and efficiently optimize aerobic granular sludge-based wastewater treatment systems.Key points• Development of a microfluidic model to study EBPR.• Feast-famine regime enriches polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs).• Microfluidics replace sequencing batch reactors for aerobic granular sludge research.

Abstract
Olive mill wastewater, a by-product of olive oil production after the operation of three-phase decanters, was used in a thermophilic anaerobic digester targeting efficient bioconversion of its organic load into biogas. An active anaerobic inoculum originating from a mesophilic reactor, was acclimatized under thermophilic conditions and was filled into a high-rate upflow packed bed reactor. Its performance was tested towards the treatment efficacy of olive mill wastewater under thermophilic conditions reaching the minimum hydraulic retention time of 4.2 d with promising results. As analysis of the microbial communities is considered to be the key for the development of anaerobic digestion optimization techniques, the present work focused on characterizing the microbial community and its variation during the reactor's runs, via 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Identification of new microbial species and taxonomic groups determination is of paramount importance as these representatives determine the bioprocess outcome. The current study results may contribute to further olive mill wastewater exploitation as a potential source for efficient biogas production.

Abstract
Extensive amounts of chlorine disinfectants have been applied to wastewater system since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which inevitably affects the pollutant degradation via interfering with electron transfer mediated by electroactive bacteria. Herein, the response of electroactive biofilm (EAB) to chronic chlorine exposure was investigated. Results showed the EAB formed without exposure (EAB-0) exhibited a 53% and 123% higher current output than that formed with 0.1 mg L-1 (EAB-0.1) and 0.5 mg L-1 (EAB-0.5) chlorine, respectively. The chronic chlorine exposure of EAB boosted the contents of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in EAB-0.1 and EAB-0.5 by over secretion of extracellular polysaccharides. The EAB-0.1 and EAB-0.5 also presented lower electron exchange capacities (EECs) of EPS, coincided with reduced relative abundance of Geobacter from 61% in EAB-0 to 52% in EAB-0.5. This study provided new insights into the application of engineered EAB for wastewater treatment in a disinfection environment.

Abstract
The formation of dense, well-settling methanogenic granules is essential for the operation of high-rate, up-flow anaerobic bioreactors used for wastewater treatment. Granule formation (granulation) mechanisms have been previously proposed, but an ecological understanding of granule formation is still lacking. Additionally, much of the current research on granulation only examines the start-up phase of bioreactor operation, rather than monitoring the fate of established granules and how new granules emerge over time. This paper, therefore, attempts to provide an insight into the microbial ecology of granule formation outside the start-up phase of bioreactor operation and develop an ecological granulation model. The microbial communities of granules actively undergoing growth, breakage, and reformation were examined, and an ecological granulation model was proposed. A distinct pregranular microbial community, with a high proportion of acidogenic organisms, such as the Streptococcaceae, was identified and suggested to have a role in initiating granulation by providing simpler substrates for the methanogenic and syntrophic communities which developed during granule growth. After initial granule formation, deterministic influences on microbial community assembly increased with granule size and indicated that microbial community succession was influenced by granule growth, leading to the formation of a stepwise ecological model for granulation. IMPORTANCE Complex microbial communities in engineered environments can aggregate to form surface-attached biofilms. Others form suspended biofilms, such as methanogenic granules. The formation of dense, methanogenic granules underpins the performance of high-rate, anaerobic bioreactors in industrial wastewater treatment. Granule formation (granulation) has been well studied from a physico-chemical perspective, but the ecological basis is poorly understood. We identified a distinct, flocculent, microbial community, which was present alongside granules, comprising primary consumers likely key in providing simpler substrates to granules. This flocculent community is understudied in anaerobic digestion and may initiate, or perpetuate, granule formation. We propose that it may be possible to influence bioreactor performance (e.g., to regulate volatile fatty acid concentrations) by manipulating this community. The patterns of microbial community diversity and assembly revealed by the study indicate that cycles of granule growth and breakage lead to overall diversification of the bioreactor meta-community, with implications for bioreactor process stability.

Enhanced proteins and amino acids production based on ammonia nitrogen assimilation and sludge increment by the integration of bioadsorption with anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (AAO) process. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 280:130721. [PMID: 33962293 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.130721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Poor effect of contaminants removal efficiency and low organic matter content of activated sludge are common in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in China due to the low-strength wastewater. An anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (AAO) and an adsorption/AAO (A/AAO) combined system were established simultaneously to conduct a comparative study for realizing the conversion of carbon source in influent and the enrichment and recovery of proteins and amino acids through the assimilation of ammonia nitrogen. The experimental results showed that 63.5% of the organic matter in influent was adsorbed and flocculated in adsorption process, and the removal rates of chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen and total phosphorus in A/AAO process were 88.7%, 77.1%, and 93.0% respectively, which were remarkably better than those in AAO process owing to the addition of improved carbon source. Ammonia assimilation rate of A/AAO process was 26.7% higher than that of AAO process, which implied that the ammonia used to synthesize sludge protein was prominently increased. Furthermore, intracellular proteins and amino acids in A/AAO process were 20% higher than those of AAO process, and the quality was equivalent with fish meal or soybean meal as feed. In addition, the microbial community analysis based on 16S rDNA was conducted. Dechloromonas, Zoogloea, Nitrospira, and Flavobacterium were the main genera, and played important roles in nutrient removal and ammonia nitrogen assimilation. The integration of adsorption process was significant to low-strength wastewater treatment and the improvement of excess sludge quality, which is a prospective inspiration for the resource recovery-based wastewater treatment process.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge (SS) is one of the effective ways to reduce the waste generated from human life activities. To date, there are many reports to improve or repress methane production during the anaerobic digestion of SS. In the anaerobic digestion process, many microorganisms work positively or negatively, and as a result of their microbe-to-microbe interaction and regulation, methane production increases or decreases. In other words, understanding the complex control mechanism among the microorganisms and identifying the strains that are key to increase or decrease methane production are important for promoting the advanced production of bioenergy and beneficial compounds. In this mini-review, the literature on methane production in anaerobic digestion has been summarized based on the results of antibiotic addition, quorum sensing control, and inorganic substance addition. By optimizing the activity of microbial groups in SS, methane or acetate can be highly produced. KEY POINTS: • Bactericidal agents such as an antibiotic alter microbial community for enhanced CH4 production. • Bacterial interaction via quorum sensing is one of the key points for biofilm and methane production. • Anaerobic digestion can be altered in the presence of several inorganic materials.

Abstract
As a low consumption and high efficiency process, Partial Nitrification-Anammox/denitratation (PNAD) was applied to co-treat mature landfill leachate with municipal sewage for 300 days. Specifically, ammonia (670.2 ± 63.7 mg N/L) contained in mature landfill leachate was firstly oxidized to nitrite (611.5 ± 28.1 mg N/L) in sequence batch reactor (SBRPN); meanwhile, organic matter in municipal sewage was partially removed in another reactor (SBROMR); finally, nitrite produced (611.5 ± 28.1 mg N/L) in SBRPN and ammonia (53.1 ± 6.4 mg N/L) residing in pretreated municipal sewage were simultaneously degraded through combined Anammox-denitratation process in an up-flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASBAD). A satisfactory effluent quality of 10.3 mg/L TN was obtained after long-term operation, with Anammox and denitrification contributing to 86.2% and 5.8% nitrogen removal efficiency, respectively. Mass balance confirmed 67.2% nitrate generated from Anammox could be reduced to nitrite and in-situ reused. Anammox bacteria genes and nitrate reductase/nitrite reductase ratio were highly detected, accelerating combined Anammox-denitratation. Further, Ca. Brocadia triumph among various Anammox bacteria groups, increasing from 1.2% (day 120) to 3.6% (day 280).

Abstract
In this study, partial denitrification (PD, nitrate → nitrite) using dissolved slowly-biodegradable organic matter (DSBOM) was effectively established by introducing biosorption and hydrolytic acidification (HA) as a pretreatment for carbon capture and conversion. After 119 days of optimized operation, an efficient nitrate to nitrite transformation of 80% was achieved, with an influent nitrate level of 40 mg/L and DSBOM level of 183.8 mg/L. There was a significant shift from exogenous PD to endogenous PD, with energy supplied by HA products of captured DSBOM, i.e., acetate, saccharide and intracellular poly-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), jointly facilitating nitrite production. This was well explained by that genera Dechloromonas (26.7%), possibly responsible for carbon HA and nitrite production, were enriched; while abundant enzymes for glycolysis, acetate fermentation and PHAs storage, and 2.6 times more nitrate reductases than nitrite reductases were identified. These results highlight a novel carbon capture reuse and PD-based anammox strategy to cost-effectively treat nitrogen.

Abstract
The effects of fungal pellets (FPs) dosage on both structural and functional stability of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) were investigated during 200-day operation. Results showed that the AGS induced by low (a dry mass ratio of FPs to seed sludge, 30%) and high FPs dosage (60%) exhibited good morphology integrity during the entire phase of operation, while the filamentous overgrowth and AGS breakup were observed in the control reactor (0% FPs). Moreover, the granules developed at high FPs dosage demonstrated excellent nutrients removal (COD: 93%; NH4+-N: 100%; TN: 77%) and stable bioactivity with a maximum specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) of 52.6 ± 2.6 mg O2/(gVSS·h), a value being 12.2% and 26.7% higher than that of 30% and 0% dosage. The microbial community analysis revealed 60% FPs dosage enriched various functional bacteria involved in nutrients removal. This study suggests a sustainable strategy for improving structural and functional stability of AGS.

Abstract
Magnetite/lanthanum hydroxide composite (MLC-10) was applied in simulate natural water, sediment and cyanobacteria (WSC) system to evaluate its effect on cyanobacterial bloom in this study. According to the results, the addition of MLC-10 showed a good performance on inhibition of cyanobacterial bloom in systems. The cyanobacteria density of WSC-0.5 and WSC-1.0 (adding 0.5 g and 1.0 g MLC-10) at 30 day was 99.39% and 99.84% less than that in WSC-C (adding no MLC-10 in WSC system), respectively. The addition of MLC-10 could form a phosphorus-binding layer that adsorbed soluble reactive phosphate (SRP) in overlying water, improved the release of internal phosphorus (P) from sediment to pore water then blocked SRP release from pore water to overlying water, especially in WSC-0.5 and WSC-1.0. The results may be due to the high adsorption capacity of MLC-10 to phosphorus. Additionally, oxidative stress and oxidative damage of cyanobacteria were observed after exposing to MLC-10, and oxidative damage degree increased with the elevated amount of MLC-10. MLC-10 addition showed a slight effect on microbial community of surface sediment. Phosphorus limitation, cell damage and limited cells' floating performance were the possible mechanisms of cyanobacterial bloom controlling by MLC-10. Based on these results, MLC-10 could be used as a potential P-inactive material for cyanobacterial bloom controlling.

Abstract
The impacts of WWTPs effluents on nutrients removal and epiphytic microbial community in constructed wetlands dominated by submersed macrophytes remain to be fully illustrated. In this study, compared to M. Spicatum, artificial submersed macrophytes (control) generally had higher NH4+-N (78.35% vs 80.52%) and TN (73.35% vs 90.25%) removal rates and similar COD (70.64% vs 70.80%) and TP (59.86% vs 60.82%) removal rates in wetlands receiving simulated effluents of WWTPs (GB18918-2002). Microbial population richness was higher in epiphytic biofilms on M. Spicatum than artificial ones, and substrates played the most decisive role in determining the microbial diversities. Network analysis revealed that there were more complex interactions among environmental parameters, bacteria and eukaryotes in M. Spicatum systems than in artificial ones. Nutrients in effluents could cause damage to M. Spicatum. The results highlight that artificial plants have better performance on effluents deep treatments than submerged plants.

Abstract
To reduce the environment pollution from the extensive use of tylosin (TYL), in this study, an antibiotic adaptive strategy was used to enhance the TYL tolerance of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) for the treatment of TYL wastewater. The results showed that the granulation process was enhanced after 30 days of operation. The TYL-tolerant AGS gradually formed and maintained a diameter of 1.2 mm, with the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) of 6810 mg⋅L-1 and sludge volume index (SVI) of 26 mL⋅g-1. Meanwhile, the chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH4+-N, and total N removal effiencies could reach up to 92.9%, 91.7%, 88.5%, respectively. The average TYL removal rate was 85.5% with the effuent TYL of 1.45 mg⋅L-1. In addition, the microbial communities shifted significantly that Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria dominated the phylm, and the Macellibacteroides was the major genus which might possess the anitibiotic resistance genes of TYL.

Abstract
The effect of nanomaterials aging, namely the transformation of comprehensive characteristics after experiencing real or complex environmental behaviors, on their ecotoxicology is still lacking. Moreover, the mechanisms by which NPs influence biological phosphorus (P) removal during sewage treatment require further elucidation. Therefore, we used both pristine and aged anatase (TiO2-A) and rutile (TiO2-R) NPs to investigate the mechanisms by which NPs affect P removal in a SBR. At 0.1 mg/L, the four types of NPs (pristine and aged) had no significant effect on sludge purification after acute (72-h) exposure under simulated sunlight. However, at 50 mg/L-regardless of the crystalline phase of the NPs-SOP and COD removal efficiency dropped steeply to approximately 42.2-82.4 % (p < 0.05) and 69.8-83.3 % (p < 0.05), respectively, especially in the pristine TiO2-NPs groups because of decrease of richness and diversity of genus level of PAOs and enzyme activity of both PPK and PPX, and the sluggish transformation of PHA and glycogen. Aging reduced the ability of NPs toxicity. The toxicity mechanisms of TiO2-NPs included lipid peroxidation and contact damage, or leakage from bacterial cytoplasmic membrane, which are closely related to photooxidation capacity and aqueous solution stability-i.e., nanoscale effects-and the impacts of aging or inclusion.

Microbial community may respond to different adverse conditions and result in the variation of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in denitrification biofilm; this study discovered the role of EPS in accordance with the analysis of cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) and electron equilibrium (EE) under low organic loading rate, shock organic loading rate and low temperature conditions. Good nitrate removal performance could be achieved under shock organic loading rate and low temperature conditions; however, owing to the low organic loading rate, the carbon source was preferentially utilized for biomass growth. Tightly bound EPS (TB-EPS) contents progressively increased and facilitated cell adhesion and biofilm formation. The stable TB protein (TB-PN) content in TB-EPS built a cross-linked network to maintain internal biofilm structure and led to the rapid biosynthesis of polysaccharides, which could further enhance microbial adhesion and improve nitrate removal. C-di-GMP played an important role in biomass retention and biofilm formation, based on the correlation analysis of c-di-GMP and EPS. TB polysaccharide (TB-PS) contents presented a significant positive correlation with c-di-GMP content, microbial adhesion and biofilm stabilization was further enhanced through c-di-GMP regulation. In addition, a remarkable negative correlation between electron deletion rate (EDR) and TB-PN and TB-PS was discovered, and TB-PS was required to serve as energy source to enhance denitrification according to EE analysis. Surprisingly, dynamic microbial community was observed due to the drastic community succession under low temperature conditions, and the discrepancy between the dominant species for denitrification was found under shock organic loading rate and low temperature conditions. The notable increase in bacterial strains Simlicispira, Pseudomonas and Chryseobacterium was conducive to biofilm formation and denitrification under shock organic loading rate, while Dechloromonas and Zoogloea dramatically enriched for nitrate removal under low temperature conditions. The high abundance of Dechloromonas improved the secretion of EPS through the downstream signal transduction, and the c-di-GMP conserved in Pseudomonas concurrently facilitated to enhance exopolysaccharide production to shock organic loading rate and low temperature conditions.

Abstract
A novel pilot-scale system based on aerobic granular sludge (AGS) as a biological treatment step was proposed to treat refractory wastewater from a membrane manufacturer. The components of the system included a microelectrolysis Fe-C filter, a hydrolysis acidification bioreactor (HA), sequence batch reactor 1 (AGS SBR1), sequence batch reactor 2 (AGS SBR2), and a membrane bioreactor (MBR). The Fe-C filter effectively improved the biodegradability of the wastewater components and introduced some byproducts (such as Fe2+, Fe3+, and Fe minerals) that are beneficial for the cultivation and stability of the AGS. Ideal conditions for aerobic granulation were maintained in the SBR, such as alternating feast and famine conditions. A selection pressure, including a hydraulic shear force and settling time, was also created therein. The results showed that the AGS was formed successfully in both SBR1 and SBR2, the sludge volume index after 30 min (SVI30) and mean particle size reached 34.2 mL/g and 720 µm, and 36.7 mL/g and 610 µm, respectively, and a satisfactory nutrient removal capacity was achieved in the system. During the entire experimental period, the microbial community changed significantly; enrichment of microbes with the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), granule stabilization functions in the AGS, and the differentiation of microbes corresponding to the function of each unit were observed. The use of Fe-C, application of SBRs, and use of dewatered sludge as an inoculant played key roles in the cultivation and stability of the AGS.

Abstract
Cyanobacterial blooms cause potential risk to submerged macrophytes and biofilms in eutrophic environments. This pilot-scale study investigated the growth, oxidative responses, and detoxification activity of aquatic plants in response to cyanobacterial blooms under different phosphorus concentrations. Variations of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) and microbial community composition were also assessed. Results showed that the biomass of Vallisneria natans increased with exposure to cyanobacterial blooms at higher phosphorous concentrations (P > 0.2 mg L-1). The amount of microcystin compounds (MC-LR) released into the water and the accumulation of MC-LR into both plant tissue and biofilms changed according to the phosphorus concentration. Furthermore, a certain degree of oxidative stress was induced in the plants, as evidenced by increased activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase, as well as increased malondialdehyde concentrations; significant differences were also seen in acid phosphatase and glutathione S-transferase activities, as well as in glutathione concentrations. Together, these responses indicate potential mechanisms of MC-LR detoxification. Broader α-D-glucopyranose polysaccharides (PS) increased with increasing phosphorous and aggregated into clusters in biofilm EPS in response to the cyanobacterial blooms. In addition, alterations were seen in the abundance and structure of the microbial communities present in exposed biofilms. These results demonstrate that cyanobacterial blooms under different concentrations of phosphorus can induce differential responses, which can have a significant impact on aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Biofilm start-up is a critical and time-consuming process in moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs), with the procedure beginning with bacteria being statically bound on surfaces. Studies addressing this critical process have mainly focused on constructing models based on single strains, although consideration of the unstable adhesion process of structured bacterial communities remains underexplored. In this study, impedance based real-time cell analysis (RTCA) was employed to quantitatively characterize the unstable adhesion process of structured bacterial communities collected from the aerobic tanks of eight full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The unstable adhesion time ranged from 8.85 ± 1.53 h to 17.06 ± 0.64 h, indicating significant differences in bacterial colonization properties. Using principal components analysis (PCA), Na+, K+ and proteins were found to significantly influence the biofilm unstable adhesion process. Furthermore, the differences in unstable adhesion times were closely related to the abundance of the most abundant operational taxonomic units (OTUs). The dominant OTUs mainly belonged to Aeromonadaceae and Enterobacteriaceae, with 73% found to be negatively corelated with unstable adhesion time. Furthermore, bacterial assembly during the initial adhesion phase was driven by bacterial interactions and key OTUs (exhibiting maximum connectivity in phylogenetic molecular ecological networks (pMENs)). Analysis of pMENs indicated that bacterial cooperation was a dominant factor in the initial adhesion, which may involve bacterial co-colonization, co-aggregation and communication. Considering keystone taxa were not identified, OTUs with max connectivity in pMENs were considered as key species. Although these key species play important roles in the connection of networks, their relative abundances were low and no significant relationships were observed with the unstable adhesion time. Overall, unstable adhesion in MBBRs is regulated by the dominant bacterial species and the alleviation of environmental variables by repulsive forces, providing potential strategies of dosing quorum sensing signals and key cations at the initial adhesion phase in reactors, to facilitate initial biofilm formation.

Abstract
This study proposed a novel approach of cultivating aerobic granular sludge (AGS) using intertidal wetland sediment (IWS) as inoculant in MBR for saline wastewater treatment. Granulation was observed in IWS-MBR during start-up, with increased sludge particle size (3.1-3.3 mm) and improved settling property (23.8 ml/g). The abundant inorganic particulates (acted as nuclei) and distinctive microbial community in IWS contributed to the granules formation. With the help of AGS, IWS-MBR system exhibited excellent TOC reduction of 90.3 ± 6.1% and significant TN reduction of 31.2 ± 5.0%, while the control MBR (Co-MBR) only showed 58.9 ± 7.2% and 10.4 ± 2.7%, respectively. Meanwhile, membrane fouling was mitigated in IWS-MBR, with a longer filtration cycle of 21.5 d, as compared with that of 8.9 d for Co-MBR. Microbial community analysis revealed that abundant functional bacteria associated with granulation and pollutants removal were enriched from IWS and set the basis for AGS formation and the superior treatment performance.

Abstract
It is worth to reveal the long-term responses of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in aerobic granular sludge (AGS) system exposed to high level enrofloxacin (ENR), sulfadiazine (SDZ) and triclosan (TCS). In present study, ppm level ENR, SDZ and TCS were added into three AGS reactors, respectively. ARGs in ENR and SDZ systems showed trends of increasing first and then decreasing, which were contrary to that in TCS system. 80%, 56% and 40% ARGs in ENR, SDZ and TCS systems, respectively, were enriched after loading, but several ARGs still kept high enrichment values after the withdrawn of loadings. The dominant bacteria in ENR (Flavobacterium), SDZ (Candidatus_Competibacter and Defluviicoccus) and TCS (Defluviicoccus) systems might contribute to the reductions of ARGs. IntI1 altered the overall ARGs profiles through horizontal gene transfer. The interactions of bacterial communities and environmental factors might be responsible for the different ARGs patterns in ENR, SDZ and TCS systems.

Abstract
Heavy metals can cause a significant damage to submerged macrophytes and affect its periphyton biofilms in aquatic environments. This study investigated the effects of heavy metals such as copper (Cu), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and their mixture on physiological and biochemical responses and ultrastructure characteristics of Vallisneria natans (V. natans). Furthermore, differences in structures of microbial communities were observed in biofilms. The results showed that Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+ and their mixture could destroy cell structure and photosynthetic system, and directly caused oxidative damage to submerged macrophyte and induced antioxidant enzyme system. In general, biomass and total chlorophyll content of V. natans noticeably decreased, while the activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase were enhanced by heavy metal stress inducement in restricted range, and the malondialdehyde content increased with the aggravation of the damage. The single heavy metal stress played a negative impact, however, the combined stress was not always synergistic effects on plants. High-throughput sequencing analysis suggested that heavy metals changed the abundance and structure of the microbial biofilm community. Proteobacteria and Bacteroidete were the dominant bacteria under heavy metal stress and other species and abundance of bacteria such as Firmicute, Cyanobacteria, Chloroflexi, Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Acidobacteria, Deinococcus-Thermus, Chlamydiae were also present. These findings provided useful information for further understanding about submerged macrophytes and periphyton biofilms responsed to heavy metal stress in aquatic environments in the future.

Abstract
Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) was rapidly cultivated in an integrated oxidation ditch with two-zone clarifiers by using a novel external sludge treatment and return mode to treat low concentrations of actual domestic sewage. The selective pressure created by the two-zone clarifiers can retain the well-settling granules and discharge light flocs with poor settleability. The granules stayed in the reactor, which induced bacterial attachment to the granules that acted as nuclei, while the discharged flocs can stimulate microorganisms to secrete large amounts of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) under the external conditioning of CaCl2 and natural air drying. Then, this surplus sludge was returned to the reactor to create more small granules that combined with each other through the action of hydraulic shear forces to achieve rapid granulation. The results showed that AGS was formed successfully in the reactor on day 18, and after 51 days of continuous operation, the biomass concentration and settling ability were further improved (the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and sludge volume index at 5 min (SVI5) were stable at approximately 3500 mg/L and 40.0 mL/g, respectively). During the whole experimental period, the biological sludge activity was greatly improved, and the EPS and microbial community changed significantly, including an enrichment of microbes with EPS secretion and granule stabilization functions. The study results reveal that the pollutant removal efficiency improved after granulation. Furthermore, this approach required less energy and is eco-friendly for potential full-scale implementation.

Abstract
Hazardous substances, such as anatoxin-a and microcystin-LR, are released into the aquatic environment during cyanobacterial blooms, causing significant ecological risk. To assess the toxic effects of anatoxin-a, microcystin-LR and their combined exposure on submerged macrophytes and biofilms, Vallisneria natans was exposed to solutions containing different concentrations of anatoxin-a and microcystin-LR (0.05-5.00 μg L-1). Results showed that Vallisneria natans was sensitive to anatoxin-a of 0.05 μg L-1, and antagonistic effects were induced at combined microcystin-LR and anatoxin-a exposure. Single and combined exposure effectively induced antioxidant responses such as promoted activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase, as well as increased glutathione S-transferase, glutathione and malondialdehyde content. In addition, anatoxin-a and microcystin-LR could also be absorbed by Vallisneria natans and trigger plant defense responses, generating increased concentrations of the phytohormones abscisic acid and strigolactones. Moreover, the abundances and structure of the microbial community in periphyton biofilms were altered by combined anatoxin-a and microcystin-LR exposure. The enhanced concentration of N-acylated-l-homoserine lactone indicated that the assessed cyanotoxins had a significant influence on quorum-sensing in biofilm microbial communities. These results demonstrated that anatoxin-a and microcystin-LR at environmentally relevant concentrations could disrupt homeostasis, induce effective defense mechanisms of Vallisneria natans and alter biofilms in aquatic ecosystems.
