Long-term effects of thiosulfate on the competition between sulfur-mediated bacteria and glycogen accumulating organisms in sulfate-rich carbon-deficient wastewater. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 240:117596. [PMID: 37931736 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117596] [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: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
Sewage nutrient (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus) biological removal performance is often limited by the deficient carbon source and undesirable glycogen accumulating organisms (GAOs), even in sulfate-containing wastewater. Thiosulfate (S2O32-) as a bioavailable, environmentally-benign, metastable and cost-effective agent has been regarded as electron carriers that induces high sulfur-mediated bacterial activity for nutrient removal from wastewater. In this study, the long-term effects of thiosulfate on the competition between sulfur-mediated bacteria (SMB, including sulfur-reducing bacteria (SRB) and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB)) and GAOs were explored to further close the gap of our knowledge on the control of GAOs under carbon deficient wastewater. Three reactors were continuously operated for over 100 days and were fed with 200 mg acetate-COD/L and 20 (R1), 50 (R2) and 80 (R3) mg S/L thiosulfate respectively. The results revealed that adding thiosulfate at the beginning of the anoxic phase promoted sulfur metabolism and increased the proliferation of SRB (mainly Desulfobacter) and SOB (mainly Chromatiaceae). Correspondingly, the relative abundance of GAOs (mainly Candidatus_Competibacter) decreased. After the carbon source was reduced, the abundance of GAOs increased and the competitive activity of SRB was weakened, resulting in the reduced sulfate reduction, which could be attributed to the fact that GAOs had a higher carbon source competitiveness than SRB under low carbon source conditions. While SOB maintained a high abundance due to the addition of thiosulfate as an additional electron donor, which enhanced the denitrification efficiency. Additionally, the dominant SOB shifted from Thiobacillus to Chromatiaceae during the long-term operation, indicating that Chromatiaceae had a higher competitive advantage for reduced sulfur (e.g., S2O32-, Polysulfide (Poly-S)) and nitrate compared to Thiobacillus. Furthermore, microbial functional genes revealed that S metabolism was enhanced during long-term operation. The potential mechanism and optimization strategy regarding the competition between sulfur-mediated bacteria and GAOs were revealed.

Abstract
Eco-friendly treatment of complex textile and dyeing wastewaters poses a pressing environmental concern. An approach adopting different treatment paths and integrated anaerobic-aerobic processes for high-strength and recalcitrant textile dyeing wastewater was examined. The study demonstrated that over 97% of suspended solids (SS) and more than 70% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) were removed by polyaluminum chloride pre-coagulation of suede fabric dyeing stream. Up to 58% of COD and 83% of SS were removed through hydrolysis pretreatment of other low-strength streams. Notable COD removal of up to 99% from a feed of 20,862 mg COD/L was achieved by integrated anaerobic-aerobic treatment of high strength stream. Besides achieving high COD removal of 97%, the anaerobic granular sludge process demonstrated multi-faceted attributes, including high feed loading, smaller footprint, little sludge production, and good stability. The integrated anaerobic-aerobic treatment offers a robust and viable option for highly contaminated and recalcitrant textile dyeing wastewater.

Abstract
This paper outlines an integrated anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A2O) treatment scheme for high-strength, highly recalcitrant wastewater from the production of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resins and their composite chemicals. An integrated anaerobic granular sludge blanket (GSB) and anoxic-oxic (AO) reactor indicated that the A2O removed chemical oxygen demand (COD) of up to 7,043 mg/L with no adverse impact from high total dissolved solids (25,000 mg/L) on the GSB COD removal and effluent suspended solids. At a Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) nitrification load of 0.11 g TKN/L.d and 400 mg NH3/L, almost 99 % of the NH3 was degraded with effluent NH3 < 5 mg/L, meeting the limit of 35 mg/L. High S2- levels of up to 1470 mg/L can be transformed through aerobic microbial degradation to meet a limit of 1.0 mg/L. With proper microbial acclimation and process designs, the integrated A2O scheme offers a resilient and robust treatment for high-strength recalcitrant PPS wastewater.

Du X, Zhang Y, Ma YW, Feng SX, Zhang YX, Kou HJ, Sun Y. The synergistic effect of chemical oxidation and microbial activity on improving volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production during the animal wastewater anaerobic digestion process treated with persulfate/biochar. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 857:159276. [PMID: 36216057 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159276] [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: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Improving volatile fatty acid (VFA) production, rather than producing methane from the anaerobic digestion (AD) of waste, has become a new strategy of resource utilization. In regard to animal wastewater, the effectiveness of persulfate/biochar (potassium peroxodisulfate, PDS/BC) on the hydrolysis and acidogenesis stages and the reaction mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, the AD process on cow wastewater was controlled at the hydrolysis and acidification stages by setting the hydraulic retention time (HRT) at 25 days. The results showed that the contents of total solids (TS) and volatile solids (VS) were further reduced by PDS/BC treatment with 0.15 gPDS/gTS of PDS added. The VFAs production increased by 12.4 % from day 0 to 25 compared to the blank set. Based on our molecular analysis, the rate of increase for the dissolved organic matter with low molecular weight (0-10 kDa) was 699.5 mg/(L·d) in the first 10 days. The change rate increased nearly 2.1 times, leading to higher VFAs yield. Moreover, the activities of fermentative bacteria were enhanced and Anaerocella was determined to be the specific and critical genus. However, excessive PDS (0.3 gPDS/gTS) prolonged the acidification period and caused the inactivation of fermentative bacteria. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that PDS can directly affect VFAs yield and also had an indirect effect by influencing the decomposition of particulate matter and microbial activities. Therefore, the enhancement of VFAs production using the PDS/BC method could be due to synergistic chemical and microbial effects. Findings from this study can provide a practical strategy to enhance the VFAs production of AD technology for livestock wastewater and help reveal the reaction mechanism of PDS/BC treatment.

Enhanced biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal from sewage driven by fermented glycerol: comparative assessment between sequencing batch- and continuously fed-structured fixed bed reactor. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:11755-11768. [PMID: 36100786 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-23003-x] [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: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The nutrient biological removal from sewage, especially from anaerobic reactor effluents, still represents a major challenge in conventional sewage treatment plants. In this work, the nitrogen and phosphorus removal from anaerobic pre-treated domestic sewage in an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor was assessed in a structured fixed bed reactor (SFBR) operated in a continuous and in a batch mode using polyurethane foam as material support for biomass and fermented glycerol as the exogenous carbon source. The SFBR was operated as a sequencing batch reactor with cycles of 90, 120, and 150 min under anaerobic, oxic, and anoxic conditions, respectively, reaching average efficiencies for total nitrogen and phosphorus removal of 88% and 56%, respectively. Fermented glycerol was added during the non-aerated periods. Under continuous feeding, the SFBR was operated with aeration/non-aeration periods of 2/1 (h) and 3/1 (h), hydraulic retention time of 12 h, and a recirculation ratio of 3. Without fermented glycerol addition, the maximum removal of total nitrogen (TN) reached 42%, while adding glycerol in the non-aerated period improved TN removal to 64.9% (2/1 h) and 69.5% (3/1 h). During continuous operation, no phosphorus removal was observed, which was released during the non-aerated period, remaining in the effluent. Optical microscopy analyses confirmed the presence of polyphosphate granules and of the phosphorus accumulating organisms in the reactor biofilm. It was concluded that the batch feeding method was determinant for phosphorus removal. The structured fixed bed reactor with polyurethane foam proved to be feasible in the removal of organic matter and nutrients remaining in the UASB reactor effluent.

Molecular mechanisms through which different carbon sources affect denitrification by Thauera linaloolentis: Electron generation, transfer, and competition. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 170:107598. [PMID: 36395558 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2022.107598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Characterizing the molecular mechanism through which different carbon sources affect the denitrification process would provide a basis for the proper selection of carbon sources, thus avoiding excessive carbon source dosing and secondary pollution while also improving denitrification efficiency. Here, we selected Thauera linaloolentis as a model organism of denitrification, whose genomic information was elucidated by draft genome sequencing and KEGG annotations, to investigate the growth kinetics, denitrification performances and characteristics of metabolic pathways under diverse carbon source conditions. We reconstructed a metabolic network of Thauera linaloolentis based on genomic analysis to help develop a systematic method of researching electron pathways. Our findings indicated that carbon sources with simple metabolic pathways (e.g., ethanol and sodium acetate) promoted the reproduction of Thauera linaloolentis, and its maximum growth density reached OD600 = 0.36 and maximum specific growth rate reached 0.145 h-1. These carbon sources also accelerated the denitrification process without the accumulation of intermediates. Nitrate could be reduced completely under any carbon source condition; but in the "glucose group", the maximum accumulation of nitrite was 117.00 mg/L (1.51 times more than that in the "ethanol group", which was 77.41 mg/L), the maximum accumulation of nitric oxide was 363.02 μg/L (7.35 times more than that in the "ethanol group", which was 49.40 μg/L), and the maximum accumulation of nitrous oxide was 22.58 mg/L (26.56 times more than that in the "ethanol group", which was 0.85 mg/L). Molecular biological analyses demonstrated that diverse types of carbon sources directly induced different carbon metabolic activities, resulting in variations in electron generation efficiency. Furthermore, the activities of the electron transport system were positively correlated with different carbon metabolic activities. Finally, these differences were reflected in the phenomenon of electronic competition between denitrifying reductases. Thus we concluded that this was the main molecular mechanism through which the carbon source type affected the denitrification process. In brief, carbon sources with simple metabolic pathways induced higher efficiency of electron generation, transfer, and competition, which promoted rapid proliferation and complete denitrification; otherwise Thauera linaloolentis would grow slowly and intermediate products would accumulate seriously. Our study established a method to evaluate and optimize carbon source utilization efficiency based on confirmed molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the application of algal-bacterial granules in treatment of high ammonia wastewater. Two identical cylindrical reactors, i.e., Rc and Rs was used to develop granular sludge system with synthetic biogas slurry. Rs was run under an artificial solar lamp controlled at 12 h power on and 12 h power off (∼10,000 lux); Rc was operated as control (no light). Results showed that algal-bacterial granules (ABGS) developed in Rs exhibited better structural stability in the face of high ammonia influent. Compared with aerobic granules (AGS), ABGS possessed high proteins (PN) content (145.3 mg/g-VSS) in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and better O2 mass transfer inner granules. Higher phosphorus (P) removal capacity was obtained in Rs even under 400 mg/L NH3–N which resulted in higher P content in ABGS biomass (56.4 mg/g-TSS). Bioavailable P in ABGS was 44 mg P/g-SS on day 160, approximately 1.53-times higher than that in AGS.

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
Recovering carboxylic acids derived from organic wastes from fermentation broth is challenging. To provide a reference for future study and industrial application, this review summarized recent advances in recovery technologies of carboxylic acids including precipitation, extraction, adsorption, membrane-based processes, etc. Meanwhile, applications of recovered carboxylic acids are summarized as well to help choose suitable downstream processes according to purity requirement. Integrated processes are required to remove the impurities from the complicated fermentation broth, at the cost of loss and expense. Compared with chemical processes, biological synthesis is better options due to low requirements for the substrates. Generally, the use of toxic agents, consumption of acid/alkaline and membrane fouling hamper the sustainability and scale-up of the downstream processes. Future research on novel solvents and materials will facilitate the sustainable recovery and reduce the cost of the downstream processes.

Abstract
This study explored the microbial population dynamics of Accumulibacter (Acc) at low temperature and metabolic shift to limiting polyphosphate (Poly-P) in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) system. The Accumulibacter-enriched EBPR systems, fed with acetate (HAc) and propionate (HPr) at 10 ± 1 °C respectively, were operated for 60 days in two identical SBR reactors (SBR-1 and SBR-2). The phosphorus removal performance in two systems was stable at 10 ± 1 °C, while the microbial community structure changed. Compared with the population structure in seed sludge, Accumulibacter clades reduced in the HAc system, while Acc I increased significantly in the HPr system. Low temperature was beneficial to the formation of granular sludge in the EBPR system, and the sludge granulation in the HAc system was more homogeneous than that in the HPr system. Accumulibacter in the HPr system can get ATP through glycogen accumulating metabolism (GAM) under limiting Poly-P condition at 10 ± 1 °C, while that in the HAc system cannot. This work suggests that poly-P levels can affect the metabolic pathway of Accumulibacter in EBPR systems under low temperature.

Resource recovery in aerobic granular sludge systems: is it feasible or still a long way to go? CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 274:129881. [PMID: 33582539 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.129881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2020] [Revised: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Lately, wastewater treatment plants are much often being designed as wastewater-resource factories inserted in circular cities. Among biological treatment technologies, aerobic granular sludge (AGS), considered an evolution of activated sludge (AS), has received great attention regarding its resource recovery potential. This review presents the state-of-the-art concerning the influence of operational parameters on the recovery of alginate-like exopolysaccharides (ALE), tryptophan, phosphorus, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) from AGS systems. The carbon to nitrogen ratio was identified as a parameter that plays an important role for the optimal production of ALE, tryptophan, and PHA. The sludge retention time effect is more pronounced for the production of ALE and tryptophan. Additionally, salinity levels in the bioreactors can potentially be manipulated to increase ALE and phosphorus yields simultaneously. Some existing knowledge gaps in the scientific literature concerning the recovery of these resources from AGS were also identified. Regarding industrial applications, tryptophan has the longest way to go. On the other hand, ALE production/recovery could be considered the most mature process if we take into account that existing alternatives for phosphorus and PHA production/recovery are optimized for activated sludge rather than granular sludge. Consequently, to maintain the same effectiveness, these processes likely could not be applied to AGS without undergoing some modification. Therefore, investigating to what extent these adaptations are necessary and designing alternatives is essential.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), a typical persistent organic pollutant in waste activated sludge, was chosen to explore its influence on the accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which is an important raw material, during anaerobic fermentation. BPA in the range of 0-200 mg/kg dry sludge was beneficial to VFAs production, from 1564 mg chemical oxygen demand (COD)/L in the control to 2095 mg COD/L with 50 mg/kg BPA; the acetic acid yield was 563 and 1010 mg COD/L with 0 and 50 mg/kg BPA, respectively. The abundance of microorganisms that can consume VFAs was reduced and those responsible for producing VFAs was increased by BPA. Homologous genes of related enzymes in the pathways for amino acid metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis, ABC transporters and quorum sensing were enhanced in the presence of BPA. The abundance of carbohydrate-active enzymes increased with BPA when compared with the control, benefitting VFAs production.

Abstract
Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology has been recognized as a promising alternative to alleviate the osmotic stress of hypersaline wastewater. However, the response of AGS process to composite hypersaline wastewater on removal performance and populations was yet to be understood. In this work, two sequenced batch reactors were operated in parallel in absence (R0) and presence (R1) of high concentration sulfate as proxy for single and mixed salts (30 g salt·L-1) respectively. Results demonstrated that the presence of sulfate in hypersaline wastewater enhanced chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total nitrogen (TN) removals of 95.3% and 65.5% respectively with lower accumulations of nitrite. High-throughput 16 S rRNA gene sequencing technique elucidated that Denitromonas (31.6%) and Xanthomarina (17.0%) were the more dominant genera in AGS response to mixed salts with high sulfate and laid the biological basis for strengthening removal performance. The enrichment of halophilic Luteococcus (23.5%) in the AGS surface indicated the potential role of mixed salts in shaping the physical properties and surface population structure of AGS. Our work could facilitate the potential applications of AGS technology for industrial hypersaline wastewater treatment with complicated compositions.

Abstract
In the field of sewage treatment, the identification of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) usually relies on biological experiments. However, biological experiments are not only complicated and time-consuming, but also costly. In recent years, machine learning has been widely used in many fields, but it is seldom used in the water treatment. The present work presented a high accuracy support vector machine (SVM) algorithm to realize the rapid identification and prediction of PAOs. We obtained 6,318 genome sequences of microorganisms from the publicly available microbial genome database for comparative analysis (MBGD). Minimap2 was used to compare the genomes of the obtained microorganisms in pairs, and read the overlap. The SVM model was established using the similarity of the genome sequences. In this SVM model, the average accuracy is 0.9628 ± 0.019 with 10-fold cross-validation. By predicting 2,652 microorganisms, 22 potential PAOs were obtained. Through the analysis of the predicted potential PAOs, most of them could be indirectly verified their phosphorus removal characteristics from previous reports. The SVM model we built shows high prediction accuracy and good stability.

Abstract
Superfine sand in waste activated sludge (WAS) increased the uncertainty of anaerobic fermentation. Experiments showed that VFAs production from WAS was positively affected by superfine sand, with an increase from 2513 mg COD/L in the control (without superfine sand) to 3002 mg COD/L with superfine sand. A mechanism study demonstrated that the main factor responsible for the improved VFAs accumulation in response to superfine sand was acetic acid, which increased by nearly 30%. Further investigation exhibited that the process of solubilization and acidification were facilitated by superfine sand and the abundance of anaerobic functional microorganisms was greatly increased. Moreover, the activities of acetate kinase (AK) as well as the quantity of AK encoding gene were greatly promoted by superfine sand. The heat release during WAS anaerobic fermentation with superfine sand was higher than that without superfine sand (25.8 × 10-3 versus 24.7 × 10-3 W·min at about 70 min).

Abstract
Aerobic granular sludge sequencing batch reactor (AGSBR) is a promising approach for wastewater treatment. In the paper, the effects of methanol, starch and sucrose as carbon sources on the treatment of swine wastewater (SW) containing antibiotics by aerobic granular sludge (AGS) were studied. The results revealed that the carbon sources could affect the morphology, biomass, and settleability of AGS, and AGS could maintain a better sludge performance when sucrose was used as carbon source. The pollutants (ammonium nitrogen (NH+ 4-N), organic matter and total phosphorus (TP)) in SW also had a good removal effect, and the removal rates reached 81.14%, 96.83% and 97.37% respectively. The removal efficiencies of tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline (OTC) from SW were the best when sucrose as co-metabolic matrix by microorganisms. The analysis of miseq pyrosequencing demonstrated that carbon sources with methanol, starch and sucrose improved the diversity of microbial community in AGS, and the dominant bacteria also changed. The dominant groups involved in TC and OTC, removal at different classification levels suggested that the formation of bacterial communities was determined by carbon sources.

Abstract
High strength inhibitory wastewaters from chemical industries are commonly treated by energy-intensive physicochemical methods. The present work examines the startup and performance of a full-scale anaerobic granular sludge blanket (GSB) plant for treatment of an inhibitory acrylic acid wastewater. From a performance test on chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading up to 9800 mg/L and 3074 kg/d, the GSB plant removed 95% of COD. Coupled with a two-stage aerobic effluent polishing unit, the integrated anaerobic-aerobic plant achieved a remarkable total COD removal of 98-99% at full design load. Final effluent ranging from 173 to 278 mg COD/L conformed to the public sewer limits of 500 mg/L. Acclimated microbes and granulation resulted in efficient degradation of the inhibitory wastewater. Adequate reactor and process designs are crucial for granulation and robust treatment. The anaerobic and aerobic processes complement each other as anaerobic prime degrader and aerobic polisher in the integrated processes.

Abstract
Phytoremediation, the application of vegetation and microorganisms for recovery of nutrients and decontamination of the environment, has emerged as a low-cost, eco-friendly, and sustainable approach compared to traditional biological and physico-chemical processes. Livestock wastewater is one of the most severe pollution sources to the environment and water resources. When properly handled, livestock wastewater could be an important alternative water resource in water-scarce regions. This review discussed the characteristics and hazards of different types of livestock wastewater and available methods for the treatment. Meanwhile, the current status of investigations on phytoremediation of livestock wastewater via different hydrophyte systems such as microalgae, duckweed, water hyacinth, constructed wetlands, and other hydrophytes is reviewed, and the utilization of hydrophytes after management is also discussed. Furthermore, advantages and limitations on livestock wastewater management via phytotechnologies are emphasized. At last, future research needs are also proposed.

Abstract
Sustainable treatment of highly polluting industrial wastewaters poses a challenge to many municipalities. This study presented treatment of a high strength inhibitory acrylic acid wastewater by integrated anaerobic-aerobic processes. A novel scheme integrating anaerobic granular sludge blanket (GSB) reactor, aerobic carrier biofilm (CBR) reactor and activated sludge reactor (ASR) was tested. The laboratory trial showed that the GSB was able to degrade exceptionally high chemical oxygen demand (COD up to 32,420 mg/L) acrylic acid wastewater laden with 5% waste oil. Operated under a high volumetric loading (VLR) rate of 21.6 g/L·d, the integrated GSB-CBR-ASB achieved 99% of COD removal, of which 90% were removed by the anaerobic process and 9% by the aerobic processes. Full-scale implementation indicated comparable performance with overall removal up to 99%, thus meeting the discharge limits of 500 mg COD/L of public sewer. The integrated scheme was effective in which the anaerobic GSB functioning as a prime degrader that degraded most of the pollutants, while the aerobic CBR-ASB serving as a polisher that removed the remaining COD. With adequate microbial acclimation and granulation, the novel integrated scheme offers a resilient and robust treatment system for high strength inhibitory acrylic acid wastewater.

Abstract
Nitrogen and phosphorous are important inorganic water pollutants that pose a major threat to the environment and health of both humans and animals. The physical and chemical ways to remove these pollutants from water and soil are expensive and harsh, so biological removal becomes the method of choice to alleviate the problem without any side effects. The identification of microorganisms capable of simultaneous heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification has greatly simplified the sequestration of nitrogen from ammonium (NH4+) into dinitrogen (N2). Further, the discovery of phosphorous accumulating organisms offers greater economic benefits because these organisms can favourably and simultaneously remove both nitrogen and phosphorous from wastewaters hence reducing the nutrient burden. The stability of the system and removal efficiency of inorganic pollutants can be enhanced by the use of immobilized organisms. However, limited work has been done so far in this direction and there is a need to further the efforts towards refining process efficiency by testing low-cost substrates and diverse microbial populations for the total eradication of these contaminants from wastewaters.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of different carbon sources on enriched Accumulibacter PAO cultures at high temperature (30 °C) and compared the carbon transformation with low temperature (20 °C) cases reported in literature, revealing several key metabolic differences. While PAOs seemed to prefer propionate anaerobically as compared to other VFAs at high temperature, high aerobic glycogen replenishment was realized with propionate as the anaerobic carbon source, a trait not previously observed at low temperatures. Therefore, it was found that propionate is not correlated with high P removal by Accumulibacter PAO at high temperatures. A combined substrate of acetate, propionate and perhaps butyrate seemed to be a better carbon source combination, since the total VFA uptake rate increased by up to 46%, and this increased the aerobic P-removal efficiency by up to 38.4% and reduced the glycogen recovery by more than 63% compared to the use of only propionate as substrate. This study improves our understanding of how to stimulate successful EBPR operation in warm climates by augmenting the P removal performance of PAOs.

Abstract
Sustainable treatment of wastewaters generated from paint production is increasingly posing an environmental concern. Recalcitrant paint wastewaters are mostly treated by energy and cost intensive physicochemical methods like incineration, distillation or advanced oxidation. This paper reported for the first time a case study applying biological treatment processes to properly handle a high-strength recalcitrant paint wastewater with 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5)/chemical oxygen demand (COD) less than 0.02. A biological treatment scheme integrating anaerobic granular sludge blanket reactor, aerobic carrier biofilm reactor and aerobic activated sludge bioreactor was proposed and examined. Laboratory and full-scale trials demonstrated satisfactory operation with overall COD removal up to 99%. Besides yielding consistent effluent quality conforming to the discharge limits, the full-scale plant gained considerable savings in operating cost over a 5-year operation. With proper microbial adaptation and cultivation, as well as adequate reactor and process designs, the scheme offers a good feasibility for efficient and cost-effective treatment of the high strength and recalcitrant paint wastewater.

Abstract
The dynamic response mechanism of Candidatus Accumulibacter clades to environmental factors in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) was unclear. This study investigated the relationship between the transcriptional responses of Candidatus Accumulibacter clades and environmental dynamics. Results suggested that Candidatus Accumulibacter clade IIA only responded in initial 20 and 30 min of P-release and P-uptake stage, respectively, and was also the first clade to stop responding among the six Candidatus Accumulibacter clades. Clade IIC and IID responded at rising stage of P-release and P-uptake rate. Clade IA and IIB responded at decreasing stage of P-release and P-uptake rate. The transcriptional response duration of clade IIF was the longest, which constantly responded throughout anaerobic, anoxic and oxic phase. The transcriptional responses of Candidatus Accumulibacter clades to environmental dynamics revealed the microorganisms actually working in P-release and P-uptake, and gave a new insight into the transcriptional responses related to the EBPR performance.
