Iron-enhanced microscale laboratory aerated filters in the treatment of artificial mariculture wastewater: A study on nitrogen removal performance and the impact on microbial community structure. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 357:141854. [PMID: 38556181 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141854] [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: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
This study investigates the nitrogen removal efficacy and microbial community dynamics in seawater aquaculture effluent treatment using three different substrate combinations of microscale laboratory aerated filters (MFs) - MF1 (LECA), MF2 (LECA/Fe-C), and MF3 (LECA/Pyrite). The findings indicated that the COD removal exceeded 95% across all MFs, with higher removal efficiencies in MF2 and MF3. In terms of nitrogen removal performance, MF2 exhibited the highest average nitrogen removal of 93.17%, achieving a 12.35% and 3.56% increase compared to MF1 (80.82%) and MF3 (89.61%), respectively. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the Fe-C substrate significantly enhanced the diversity of the microbial community. Notably, in MF2, the salinophilic denitrifying bacterium Halomonas was significantly enriched, accounting for 42.6% of the total microbial community, which was beneficial for nitrogen removal. Moreover, an in-depth analysis of nitrogen metabolic pathways and microbial enzymes indicated that MF2 and MF3 possessed a high abundance of nitrification and denitrification enzymes, related to the high removal rates of NH4+-N and NO3--N. Therefore, the combination of LECA with iron-based materials significantly enhances the nitrogen removal efficiency from mariculture wastewater.

Nitrate and oxygen significantly changed the abundance rather than structure of sulphate-reducing and sulphur-oxidising bacteria in water retrieved from petroleum reservoirs. ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY REPORTS 2024; 16:e13248.

Abstract
Sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are the main culprits of microbiologically influenced corrosion in water-flooding petroleum reservoirs, but some sulphur-oxidising bacteria (SOB) are stimulated when nitrate and oxygen are injected, which control the growth of SRB. This study aimed to determine the distributions of SRB and SOB communities in injection-production systems and to analyse the responses of these bacteria to different treatments involving nitrate and oxygen. Desulfovibrio, Desulfobacca, Desulfobulbus, Sulfuricurvum and Dechloromonas were commonly detected via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Still, no significant differences were observed for either the SRB or SOB communities between injection and production wells. Three groups of water samples collected from different sampling sites were incubated. Statistical analysis of functional gene (dsrB and soxB) clone libraries and quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that the SOB community structures were more strongly affected by the nitrate and oxygen levels than SRB clustered according to the sampling site; moreover, both the SRB and SOB community abundances significantly changed. Additionally, the highest SRB inhibitory effect and the lowest dsrB/soxB ratio were obtained under high concentrations of nitrate and oxygen in the three groups, suggesting that the synergistic effect of nitrate and oxygen level was strong on the inhibition of SRB by potential SOB.

Abstract
Low efficiency is one of the main challenges for the application of aerobic denitrification technology in wastewater treatment. To improve denitrification efficiency, a synthetic microbial community (SMC) composed of denitrifiers Acinetobacter baumannii N1 (AC), Pseudomonas aeruginosa N2 (PA) and Aeromonas hydrophila (AH) were constructed. The nitrate (NO3--N) reduction efficiency of the SMC reached 97 % with little nitrite (NO2--N) accumulation, compared to the single-culture systems and co-culture systems. In the SMC, AH proved to mainly contribute to NO3--N reduction with the assistance of AC, while PA exerted NO2--N reduction. AC and AH secreted N-hexanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL) to promote the electron transfer from the quinone pool to nitrate reductase. The declined N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3OC12-HSL), resulting from quorum quenching (QQ) by AH, stimulated the excretion of pyocyanin, which could improve the electron transfer from complex III to downstream denitrifying enzymes for NO2--N reduction. In addition, C6-HSL mainly secreted by PA led to the up-regulation of TCA cycle-related genes and provided sufficient energy (such as NADH and ATP) for aerobic denitrification. In conclusion, members of the SMC achieved efficient denitrification through the interactions between QQ, electron transfer, and energy metabolism induced by N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs). This study provided a theoretical basis for the engineering application of synthetic microbiome to remove nitrate wastewater.

Metabolomic insight into regulatory mechanism of heterotrophic bacteria nitrification-aerobic denitrification bacteria to high-strength ammonium wastewater treatment.

Abstract
This work aimed to elucidate the metabolic mechanism of heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) bacteria influenced by varying concentrations of ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) in high-strength synthetic wastewater treatment. The results showed that the removal rates of NH4+-N and total nitrogen, along with enzymatic activities related to nitrification and denitrification, increased with rising NH4+-N concentrations (N500:500 mg/L, N1000:1000 mg/L and N2000:2000 mg/L). The relative abundances of HN-AD bacteria were 50 %, 62 % and 82 % in the three groups. In the N2000 group, the cAMP signaling pathway, glycerophospholipid metabolites, purines and pyrimidines related to DNA/RNA synthesis, electron donor NAD+-related energy, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and glutamate metabolism were upregulated. Therefore, influent NH4+-N at 2000 mg/L promoted glutamate metabolism to accelerate the TCA cycle, and enhanced cellular energy and advanced denitrification activity of bacteria for HN-AD. This mechanism, in turn, enhanced microbial growth and the carbon and nitrogen metabolism of bacteria for HN-AD.

Abstract
The coculture theory that promotes denitrification relies on effectively utilizing the resources of low-efficiency denitrification microbes. Here, the strains Streptomyces sp. PYX97 and Streptomyces sp. TSJ96 were isolated and showed lower denitrification capacity when cultured individually. However, the coculture of strains PYX97 and TSJ96 enhanced nitrogen removal (removed 96.40% of total nitrogen) and organic carbon reduction (removed 92.13% of dissolved organic carbon) under aerobic conditions. Nitrogen balance analysis indicated that coculturing enhanced the efficiency of nitrate converted into gaseous nitrogen reaching 70.42%. Meanwhile, the coculturing promoted the cell metabolism capacity and carbon source metabolic activity. The coculture strains PYX97 and TSJ96 thrived in conditions of C/N = 10, alkalescence, and 150 rpm shaking speed. The coculturing reduced total nitrogen and CODMn in the raw water treatment by 83.32 and 84.21%, respectively. During this treatment, the cell metabolic activity and cell density increased in the coculture strains PYX97 and TSJ96 reactor. Moreover, the coculture strains could utilize aromatic protein and soluble microbial products during aerobic denitrification processes in raw water treatment. This study suggests that coculturing inefficient actinomycete strains could be a promising approach for treating polluted water bodies.

Abstract
The strategy of high reflux ratio and long solids retention time was adopted to realize efficient nitrogen removal from real shale oil wastewater. This was undertaken with a low chemical oxygen demand to total nitrogen (COD/TN) ratio by strengthening aerobic denitrification in an anoxic/aerobic membrane bioreactor (A/O-MBR). The TN removal load climbed from 22 to 25 g N/(kg MLSS·d) as the COD/TN ratio declined from 8 to 3. The abundance of heterotrophic nitrifying and aerobic denitrifying (HNAD) bacteria increased by 13.8 times to 42.5%, displacing anoxic denitrifying bacteria as the predominant bacteria. The abundance of genes involved in denitrification (napAB, narGHI, norBC, nosZ) increased, however the genes related to assimilatory nitrate reduction (nirA, narB, nasC) decreased. The capacity of the dominant HNAD bacteria in an A/O-MBR to efficiently utilize a carbon source is the key to efficient nitrogen removal from shale oil wastewater with a low COD/TN ratio.

Abstract
Aerobic denitrification technology can effectively abate the nitrogen pollution of water source reservoirs. In this study, 40% siliceous material was used as the carrier to replace the activated carbon in Fe/C material to enhance denitrification and purify water. The removal efficiency of new material for target pollutants were nitrate nitrogen (95.68%), total phosphorus (68.23%) and chemical oxygen demand (46.20%). Aerobic denitrification of water samples and anaerobic denitrification of sediments in three systems jointly assisted nitrogen removal. In a reactor with new material, diversity and richness of denitrifying bacterial communities were enhanced, and the symbiotic structure of aerobic denitrifying bacteria was more complex (Bacillus and Mycobacteria as the dominant bacteria); the microbial distribution better matched the Zif and Mandelbrot models. This system significantly increased the abundance of key enzymes in water samples. The new material effectively removed pollutants and represents a promising and innovative in-situ remediation method for reservoirs.

Abstract
The performance and electron (e-) transfer mechanisms of anaerobic and aerobic denitrification by strain Klebsiella were investigated in this study. The RT-PCR results demonstrated that the membrane bound nitrate reductase gene (narG) and Cu-nitrite reductase gene (nirK) were responsible for both aerobic and anerobic denitrification. The extreme low gene relative abundance of nirK might be responsible for the severe accumulation of NO2--N (nitrogen in the form of NO2- ion) under anaerobic condition. Moreover, the nitrite reductase (Nir) activity was 0.31 μg NO2--N min-1 mg-1 protein under anaerobic conditions, which was lower than that under aerobic conditions (0.38 μg NO2--N min-1 mg-1 protein). By using respiration chain inhibitors, the e- transfer pathways of anaerobic and aerobic denitrification of Klebsiella strain were constructed. Fe-S protein and Complex III were the core components under anaerobic conditions, while Coenzyme Q (CoQ), Complexes I and III played a key role in aerobic denitrification. Nitrogen assimilation was found to be the main way to generate NH4+-N (nitrogen in the form of NH4+ ion) during anaerobic denitrification, and also served as the primary nitrogen removal way under aerobic condition. The results of this study may help to improve the understanding of the core components of strain Klebsiella during aerobic and anaerobic denitrifications, and may suggest potential applications of the strain for nitrogen-containing wastewater.

During an investigation of the microbial diversity in marine ranching of the Pearl River Estuary (PR China), three bacterial strains, designated SCSIO 75817T, SCSIO 76264T and SCSIO 80058T, were isolated from sediments. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the three strains belonged to the genus Paracoccus and their closest neighbors were P. isoporae DSM 22220T (97.6-98.0%), P. aurantiacus CGMCC 1.13898T (97.3-97.6%) and P. xiamenensis MCCC 1A16381T (97.1-97.4%), respectively. The analysis results of 16S rRNA gene similarity, ANI, AAI and dDDH showed that the pairwise similarities between these three strains and their closest neighbors were 97.4-98.5%, 76.9-81.0%, 75.5-79.6% and 20.3-23.3%, respectively. Polyphasic taxonomic data of the phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses indicate that these strains represent three novel species in the genus Paracoccus, for which the names Paracoccus aerodenitrificans sp. nov., Paracoccus sediminicola sp. nov. and Paracoccus albus sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. The study also demonstrated the heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) ability of the novel species P. aerodenitrificans SCSIO 75817T. When it was aerobically cultivated at 28 °C using NH4+-N, NO3--N and NO2--N as the sole nitrogen sources, the nitrogen removal efficiencies were 73.4, 55.27 and 49.2%, respectively, and the maximum removal rates were 3.05, 1.82 and 1.63 mg/L/h, respectively. The results suggest that it has promising potential for wastewater treatment.

Bioremediation of coastal aquaculture effluents spiked with florfenicol using microalgae-based granular sludge - a promising solution for recirculating aquaculture systems. WATER RESEARCH 2023; 233:119733. [PMID: 36801579 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Aquaculture is a crucial industry in the agri-food sector, but it is linked to serious environmental problems. There is a need for efficient treatment systems that allow water recirculation to mitigate pollution and water scarcity. This work aimed to evaluate the self-granulation process of a microalgae-based consortium and its capacity to bioremediate coastal aquaculture streams that sporadically contain the antibiotic florfenicol (FF). A photo-sequencing batch reactor was inoculated with an autochthonous phototrophic microbial consortium and was fed with wastewater mimicking coastal aquaculture streams. A rapid granulation process occurred within ca. 21 days, accompanied by a substantially increase of extracellular polymeric substances in the biomass. The developed microalgae-based granules exhibited high and stable organic carbon removal (83-100%). Sporadically wastewater contained FF which was partially removed (ca. 5.5-11.4%) from the effluent. In periods of FF load, the ammonium removal slightly decreased (from 100 to ca. 70%), recovering 2 days after FF feeding ceased. A high-chemical quality effluent was obtained, complying with ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate concentrations for water recirculation within a coastal aquaculture farm, even during FF feeding periods. Members belonging to the Chloroidium genus were predominant in the reactor inoculum (ca. 99%) but were replaced from day-22 onwards by an unidentified microalga from the phylum Chlorophyta (>61%). A bacterial community proliferated in the granules after reactor inoculation, whose composition varied in response to feeding conditions. Bacteria from the Muricauda and Filomicrobium genera, Rhizobiaceae, Balneolaceae, and Parvularculaceae families, thrived upon FF feeding. This study demonstrates the robustness of microalgae-based granular systems for aquaculture effluent bioremediation, even during periods of FF loading, highlighting their potential as a feasible and compact solution in recirculation aquaculture systems.

Abstract
The aerobic denitrifying capacity of actinomycete strain has been investigated recently, while little is known about nitrogen and carbon substrate removal by mix-cultured aerobic denitrifying actinobacteria (Mix-CADA) community. Hence, three Mix-CADA consortiums, named Y23, X21, and Y27, were isolated from urban lakes to investigate their aerobic denitrification capacity, and their removal efficiency for nitrate and dissolved organic carbon were >97 % and 90 %, respectively. Illumina Miseq sequencing revealed that Streptomyces was the most dominant genus in the Mix-CADA consortium. Network analysis indicated that Streptomyces exfoliates, as the core species in the Mix-CADA consortium, majorly contributed to dissolved organic carbon and total nitrogen reduction. Moreover, the three Mix-CADA consortiums could remove 78 % of the total nitrogen and 61 % of the permanganate index from the micro-polluted l water. Meanwhile, humic-like was significantly utilized by three Mix-CADA consortiums, whereas Mix-CADA Y27 could also utilize aromatic protein and soluble microbial by-product-like in the micro-polluted raw water purification. In summary, this study will offer a novel perspective for the purification of micro-polluted raw water using the Mix-CADA consortium.

NirS-type denitrifying bacteria in aerobic water layers of two drinking water reservoirs: Insights into the abundance, community diversity and co-existence model. J Environ Sci (China) 2023; 124:215-226. [PMID: 36182133 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2021.10.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Revised: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The nirS-type denitrifying bacterial community is the main drivers of the nitrogen loss process in drinking water reservoir ecosystems. The temporal patterns in nirS gene abundance and nirS-type denitrifying bacterial community harbored in aerobic water layers of drinking water reservoirs have not been studied well. In this study, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Illumina Miseq sequencing were employed to explore the nirS gene abundance and denitrifying bacterial community structure in two drinking water reservoirs. The overall results showed that the water quality parameters in two reservoirs had obvious differences. The qPCR results suggested that nirS gene abundance ranged from (2.61 ± 0.12) × 105 to (3.68 ± 0.16) × 105 copies/mL and (3.01 ± 0.12) × 105 to (5.36 ± 0.31) × 105 copies/mL in Jinpen and Lijiahe reservoirs, respectively. The sequencing results revealed that Paracoccus sp., Azoarcus sp., Dechloromonas sp. and Thauera sp. were the dominant genera observed. At species level, Cupriavidus necator, Dechloromonas sp. R-28400, Paracoccus denitrificans and Pseudomonas stutzeri accounted for more proportions in two reservoirs. More importantly, the co-occurrence network analysis demonstrated that Paracoccus sp. R-24615 and Staphylococcus sp. N23 were the keystone species observed in Jinpen and Lijiahe reservoirs, respectively. Redundancy analysis indicated that water quality (particularly turbidity, water temperature, pH and Chlorophyll a) and sampling time had significant influence on the nirS-type denitrifying bacterial community in both reservoirs. These results will shed new lights on exploring the dynamics of nirS-type denitrifying bacteria in aerobic water layers of drinking water reservoirs.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and coccoid bacterial strain, designated XHP0099T, was isolated from the coastal water of the Yellow Sea, China. Growth occurred at 20-37 ℃ (optimum, 28 ℃), pH 5.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0), and with 0-7.0% NaCl (optimum, 2.0-3.0%). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain XHP0099T was related to members of the genus Paracoccus and shared the highest sequence similarity with "P. siganidrum" M26 (98.2%), followed by P. alkanivorans 4-2 T (97.6%) and P. alkenifer DSM 11593 T (97.4%). The average nucleotide identity, amino acid identity, and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of strain XHP0099T against related members in the genus Paracoccus were below the cut-off points proposed for the delineation of a novel species. The major cellular fatty acids (> 10%) were summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c/C18:1 ω6c), and C18:0. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-10 and the polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), aminolipid (AL) and unidentified polar lipids (L). The G + C content of the genomic DNA of strain XHP0099T was 66.0%. Genomic analysis suggested that strain XHP0099T harbored gene clusters for formaldehyde and the XoxF-type methanol oxidation and type 1 Calvin cycle, which could confer the methylotrophy pathway. Based on the phenotypic, phylogenetic, biochemical and chemotaxonomic analysis, strain XHP0099T represents a novel species of the genus Paracoccus, for which the name Paracoccus marinaquae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XHP0099T (= JCM 34661 T = GDMCC 1.2414 T = MCCC 1K05846T).

Abstract
Artificial intervention combined with stress acclimation was used to screen a heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying (HN-AD) bacterial, strain Rhodococcus SY24, resistant to linear alkylbenzenesulfonic acid (LAS) stress. When LAS was<15 mg/L, strain SY24 performed better cell growth and carbon source metabolism activity. The maximum nitrification and denitrification rates of SY24 under LAS stress could reach 1.18 mg/L/h and 1.05 mg/L/h, respectively, which were 13.80 % and 8.81 % higher than those of the original strain CPZ24. Higher LAS tolerance was seen in the functional genes (amoA, nxrA, napA, narG, nirK, nirS, norB, and nosZ). Response surface modeling revealed that 2 mg/L LAS, sodium succinate as a carbon source, 190 rams, and carbon/nitrogen 11 were the ideal culture conditions for SY24 to nitrogen removal under the LAS environment. This study offered a new screening strategy for the functional species, and strain SY24 showed significant LAS tolerance and HN-AD potential.

Abstract
The aerobic denitrification performance of actinomycetes was investigated. Two strains of actinomycetes were isolated and identified as Streptomyces sp. LJH-12-1 and Streptomyces diastatochromogenes LJH-12-2. Strain LJH-12-1 could remove 94% of organic carbon and 91% of total nitrogen. Meanwhile, strain LJH-12-2 could reduce 96% of organic carbon and 93% of total nitrogen. Two strains of actinomycetes revealed excellent carbon source metabolism activity. Moreover, the total nitrogen removal efficiencies were 69%, and 54%, respectively for strains LJH-12-1, and LJH-12-2 during the micro-polluted landscape raw water treatment. Futhermore, strains LJH-12-1 and LJH-12-2 could utilize aromatic proteins, soluble microbial products, and humic acid to drive aerobic denitrification processes in the landscape water bodies. These results will provide a new insight into applying aerobic denitrification actinomycetes to treat micro-polluted water bodies.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 367:128225. [PMID: 36332856 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.128225] [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: 09/09/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The role of different ammonia concentrations (mg N/L) (of 100 (carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) = 12; Stage I), 200 (C/N = 6; Stage II), 400 (C/N = 3; Stage III) and 200 (C/N = 6; Stage IV)) in nitrogen metabolic pathways, microbial community, and specific microbial activity were investigated in an aerobic granular sludge reactor. Heterotrophic ammonia oxidizing bacteria (HAOB) showed higher ammonia oxidation rates (AORs) than autotrophic ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AAOB) at higher C/N conditions (Stages I and II). Paracoccus was the dominant HAOB. AAOB, with only 0.2-0.3 % in relative abundance, showed 2.7-fold higher AORs than HAOB at elevated ammonia and free ammonia (FA) concentrations with C/N at 3. Nitrosomonas and a genus in Nitrosomondaceae family were the major AAOB. This study proposed that FA inhibition on heterotrophic bacteria might be the mechanism that contributes to the development of the autotrophic ammonia oxidation pathway and enrichment of AAOB.

Abstract
Membrane bioreactor with the floc activated sludge (mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) = 7500 mg/L) was constructed in this work for simultaneously nitrification and denitrification (SND). The effect of dissolved oxygen (DO) on SND process and the nitrogen pathways were investigated. The average TN removal efficiencies were 63.05%, 91.17%, 87.04% and 70.02% for DO 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mg/L systems, respectively. The effluent ammonia concentration was continuously lower than 5.0 mg/L when the DO was higher than 1 mg/L. Nitrogen in DO 1 and DO 2 mg/L systems was mainly removed via the SND process. The rise of DO concentration increased the abundance of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) and Nitrospira was the predominant NOB in all the four MBRs. Dechloromonas and Azoarcus were the dominant denitrifying bacteria (DNB) in DO 1 systems responsible for nitrite denitrification. The dominant aerobic DNB Pseudomonas also contributed SND via nitrate denitrification and was little affected by DO changes. Nitrate reductase was the main enzyme for the reduction of NO3--N to NO2--N, and narG was the main responsible gene. Nitrite oxidoreductase was the main enzyme for the oxidation of NO2--N to NO3--N, and nxrA was the main responsible gene in all the four MBR systems.

Abstract
Introduction The response mechanism of Rhododendron simsii and its endophytic microorganism to heat stress is still unclear. Methods The light incubator was used to set the temperature gradients, and the control (CK) was (day/night: 14/10 h) 25/22°C, the moderate-heat-stress (MHS) was 35/30°C and the high-heat-stress (HHS) was 40/35°C. Results Compared with CK, MHS significantly increased the contents of malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, proline, and soluble sugar, as well as the activities of catalase and peroxidase in leaf, while HHS increased the activities of ascorbate peroxidase, and decreased chlorophyll content. Compared with CK, MHS reduced soil available nitrogen (N) content. Both heat stress changed the endophytic microbial community structure in roots. MHS enriched Pezicula and Paracoccus, while HHS significantly enriched Acidothermus and Haliangium. The abundance of Pezicula positively correlated with the contents of chlorophyll a and proline in leaf, and negatively correlated with soil ammonium N content. The abundance of Pezicula and Haliangium positively correlated with soluble sugar and malondialdehyde contents, respectively. Conclusions Our results suggest that root endophytic microorganisms play an important role in helping Rhododendron resisting heat stress, mainly by regulating soil N content and plant physiological characteristics.

Abstract
Significant progress in understanding the key enzymes or species of anammox has been made; however, the nitrogen removal mechanism in complex coupling systems centered on anammox remains limited. In this study, by the combination of metagenomics-metatranscriptomics analyses, the nitrogen removal in the anammox-centered coupling system that entails partial denitrification (PD) and hydrolytic acidification (HA, A-PDHA) was elucidated to be the nitrogen transformation driven by the electron generation-transport-consumption process. The results showed that a total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency of >98%, with a TN effluence of <1 mg/L and a TN removal contribution via anammox of >98%, was achieved after 59 days under famine operation and alkaline conditions during the start-up process. Further investigation confirmed that famine operation promoted the activity of genes responsible for electron generation in anammox, and increased the abundance or expression of genes related to electron consumption. Alkaline conditions enhanced the electron generation for PD by upregulating the activity of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and strengthened electron transfer by increasing the gene encoding quinone pool. Altogether, these variations in the electron flow led to efficient nitrogen removal. These results improve our understanding of the nitrogen removal mechanism and application of the anammox-centered coupling systems in treating nitrogen wastewater.

Abstract
Breeding high-efficiency heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying (SND) bacteria is important for the removal of biological nitrogen in wastewater treatment. In this study, a high-efficiency SND mutant strain, ΔRhodococcus sp. CPZ 24, was obtained by ultraviolet-diethyl sulfate compound mutagenesis. The maximum nitrification and denitrification rates were 3.77 and 1.37 mg·L-1·h-1, respectively 30.30 % and 17.10 % higher than those of wild bacteria. Biolog technology and network model analysis revealed that ΔCPZ 24 significantly improved the utilisation ability and metabolic activity of organic carbon sources. Furthermore, the expression levels of the nitrogen removal function genes nxrA, nosZ, amoA, and norB in strain ΔCPZ 24 increased significantly. In actual sewage, mutant bacteria ΔCPZ 24 have a 95.05 % ammonia-nitrogen degradation rate and a 96.67 % nitrate-nitrogen degradation rate. These results suggested that UV-DES compound mutation was a successful strategy to improve the nitrogen removal performance of SND bacteria in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Less attention has been paid on the oligotrophic water body nitrogen treatment with mix-cultured aerobic denitrifying bacteria (Mix-CADB). In this study, three Mix-CADB communities were screened from the sediments of reservoirs. The nitrate and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal efficiencies of Mix-CADB communities were higher than 92 % and 91 %, respectively. Biolog results suggested that Mix-CADB communities displayed excellent carbon source metabolic activity. The nirS gene sequencing indicated that Pseudomonas sp. and Pseudomonas stutzeri accounted for more proportions in the core species of three Mix-CADB communities. The network model revealed that Pseudomonas sp. and Pseudomonas stutzeri mainly drove the total nitrogen and DOC removal of Mix-CADB communities. More importantly, the immobilized Mix-CADB communities could reduce >91 % nitrate in the adjusted reservoir raw water. Overall, this study showed that the three Mix-CADB communities could be regarded as potential candidates for the nitrogen treatment in oligotrophic water body ecosystems.

Abstract
The main limiting factor in treatment of wastewater with a low carbon/nitrogen ratio is insufficient electron donors for aerobic denitrification. A novel synthetic micro-ecosystem (SM) with functional materials as the core structure was prepared to enhance nitrate removal during wastewater treatment. Nitrate removal in the reactors with SM increased by more than 40 % and reached 97.43 % under aerobic conditions. The abundance of denitrification functional genes in activated sludge increased by 2.7 folds after adding SM. Network analysis showed that the denitrifying bacterial community in the reactors with SM displayed a more abundant symbiotic structure. In the reactors with SM, bacteria with both denitrification and inorganic electron transfer capabilities (such as Paracoccus sp., Thaurea sp., and Achromobacter sp.) occupied dominant niche. A species abundance distribution model indicated more intense competition for the dominant niche for the denitrification community in the reactor with SM. Thus, SM promotes denitrification in polluted water bodies under aerobic conditions.

Abstract
The utilization of actinomycetes as the bioresources for heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification is rarely reported due to the lack of work to explore their nitrogen biodegradation capabilities. Streptomyces mediolani EM-B2 belonging to actinomycetes could effectively remove high concentration of multiple nitrogen forms, and the maximum removal rates of ammonium, nitrate and nitrite reached 3.46 mg/(L·h), 1.71 mg/(L·h) and 1.73 mg/(L·h), respectively. Nitrite was preferentially consumed from the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification reaction system. Nitrogen balance analysis uncovered that more than 37% of the initial total nitrogen was converted to nitrogenous gas by aerobic denitrification. Experiments with specific inhibitors of nitrification and denitrification revealed that strain EM-B2 contained ammonia monooxygenase, hydroxylamine oxidoreductase, nitrate reductase and nitrite oxidoreductase, which were successfully expressed and detected as 0.43, 0.59, 0.12 and 0.005 U/mg proteins, respectively. These findings may provide new insights into the actinomycetes for bioremediation of nitrogen pollution wastewater.

[PMID: 34742978 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.151418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2021] [Revised: 10/29/2021] [Accepted: 10/30/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
As a core component of the biomass, the important role of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) on treatment performance has been recognized. However, the comprehensive understanding of its correlation with nitrogen removal remains limited in biofilm-based reactors. In this study, the relevance between EPS and advanced nitrogen removal in a novel step-feed three-stage integrated anoxic/oxic biofilter (SFTIAOB) was specifically investigated. The operation showed as high as 81% TN removal was achieved under optimal conditions. Among the whole reactor, 2nd anoxic (A2) zone was the largest contributor for nitrogen removal, followed by the 3rd anoxic (A3) and 2nd oxic (O2) zones. EPS composition analysis found that high content of polysaccharides in tightly bound-EPS (A2 and A3) and protein in loosely bound-EPS and tightly bound-EPS (O2). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum further verified stratified EPS subfractions containing different secondary protein structures, while 3-turn helix and tryptophan-like protein was the main reason for nitrogen removal. High-throughput sequencing revealed the co-existence of nitrogen removal-associated genera accomplished nitrification/denitrification combined with aerobic denitrification and anammox. Moreover, the correlation of EPS and microbial composition with nitrogen removal was clarified by redundancy analysis (RDA). Finally, potential mechanism for nitrogen removal was illuminated. This research gives more insight into EPS characteristics in enhancing nitrogen removal during the operation and optimization of a step-feed multi-stage A/O biofilm process.

Abstract
The denitrification characteristics of actinomyetes in aquatic ecosystem under aerobic conditions are not well known. Here, two actinomyetes strains M5 and M6 were separated and annotated as Streptomyces sp. Strains M5 and M6 could reduce 95.02% and 96.84 % of total nitrogen, 98.14 % and 97.02 % of total organic carbon under aerobic condition. Nitrogen balance analysis indicated that 78.60 % and 83.01 % of nitrogen was translated into gaseous, with 13.48 % and 10.77 % of nitrogen was assimilated into biomass for strains M5 and M6. The highest removal efficiency of nitrate of strains M5 and M6 in micro-polluted water bodies were 88.61 % and 82.53 %, respectively. Moreover, strains M5 and M6 exhibited remarkable carbon metabolic capacity, especially for esters. Altogether, this study provides a new perspective for understanding the performance of actinomyetes in aerobic denitrification and micro-polluted water reparation.

Abstract
To improve poor nitrate removal by microorganisms under strong alkaline conditions, a new type of aerobic nitrification-reducing bacteria was isolated in this study. Using nitrogen balance and genome information, the capacity of Pseudomonas XS-18 to remove nitrate and the mechanism of alkali tolerance were analyzed. At pH 11.0, XS-18 could remove 12.17 mg N/(L·h) nitrate. At C/N ratios of 13.0 and 25 °C, nitrite and ammonia nitrogen were barely enriched. XS-18 could reduce nitrate through dissimilation and assimilation, and 21.74% and 77.39% of nitrate was converted into cellular components and organic nitrogen, respectively. Meanwhile, functional genes (nirBD, nasAB, gdhA, glnA, and gltBD) associated with nitrogen metabolism were determined. In addition, Na+/H+ antiporters (MnhACDEFG, PhaACDEFG, NhaCD and TrkAH) and a cell surface protein (SlpA) from the XS-18 genome, as well as compatible solutes that help stabilize intracellular pH, were also characterized. XS-18 possessed significant potential in alkaline wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Marine sediments harbor an outstanding level of microbial diversity supporting diverse metabolic activities. Sediments in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) are subjected to anthropic stressors including oil pollution with potential effects on microbial community structure and function that impact biogeochemical cycling. We used metagenomic analyses to provide significant insight into the potential metabolic capacity of the microbial community in Southern GoM deep sediments. We identified genes for hydrocarbon, nitrogen and sulfur metabolism mostly affiliated with Alpha and Betaproteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi and Firmicutes, in relation to the use of alternative carbon and energy sources to thrive under limiting growth conditions, and metabolic strategies to cope with environmental stressors. In addition, results show amino acids metabolism could be associated with sulfur metabolism carried out by Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi and Firmicutes, and may play a crucial role as a central carbon source to favor bacterial growth. We identified the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and aspartate, glutamate, glyoxylate and leucine degradation pathways, as part of the core carbon metabolism across samples. Further, microbial communities from the continental slope and abyssal plain show differential metabolic capacities to cope with environmental stressors such as oxidative stress and carbon limiting growth conditions, respectively. This research combined taxonomic and functional information of the microbial community from Southern GoM sediments to provide fundamental knowledge that links the prokaryotic structure to its potential function and which can be used as a baseline for future studies to model microbial community responses to environmental perturbations, as well as to develop more accurate mitigation and conservation strategies.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 299:113559.

Abstract
Pesticide and heavy metal contaminants, such as chlorpyrifos (CP) and cadmium (Cd) in farmland drainage had caused the water pollution and attracted extensive concerns around the world. The incorporation of zeolite-based iron-carbon (ZB-IC) into constructed wetlands (CWs) was prepared to simultaneously remove chlorpyrifos (CP) and cadmium (Cd) in farmland drainage, and the interaction of CP degradation and Cd removal was investigated. Laboratory simulated experiments were carried out in this study, and the results presented that the removal efficiencies of CP and Cd by ZB-IC coupled CWs (ZB-IC-CW) were 99.55% and 98.59%, respectively, which were much higher than that of the zeolite-based (ZB) CWs (CP = 92.99%; Cd = 63.54%). The removal mechanism of CP and Cd by ZB-IC substrate was mainly attributed to electron transfer, which occurred from iron corrosion and hydrogen generation process. In addition, CP could act as carbon source to promote denitrification process. Microbial analysis revealed that the relative abundances of CP-resistant bacteria (Firmicutes, Clostridia and Acetobacterium), Cd-resistant bacteria (Bacteroidetes) and denitrifying bacteria (Proteobacteria and Patescibacteria) were dramatically increased due to the addition of ZB-IC. The higher czcA gene and opd gene in ZB-IC-CW demonstrated that the addition of CP played a positive role in Cd removal, while Cd showed slightly affect to CP removal.

Abstract
The nitrogen metabolic pathways of Pseudomonas taiwanensis J488 have not been confirmed from genomic function analysis and its divalent metal ion resistance remains poorly understood. In this study, the key denitrifying gene of Pseudomonas taiwanensis J488, nirB, was determined by draft genome sequencing. The nitrification of ammonium was insensitive to high concentrations of Ca(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II). Similarly, complete nitrite removal was achieved despite Mn(II) and Zn(II) reaching concentrations up to 30 mg/L. Furthermore, the efficiency of nitrate removal was significantly enhanced by 1.33%, 3.33%, 5.99%, and 1.53% with the addition of 0.5 mg/L Ca(II), 20 mg/L Mn(II), 5 mg/L Zn(II), and 2 mg/L Cd(II), respectively, comparison with the control. The bacterial growth in both nitrifying and denitrifying processes was substantially promoted by various dosages of divalent metal ions. These results indicate that divalent metal ions would not severely limit the capacity of strain J488 to purify nitrogen-polluted wastewater.

Abstract
Three mix-cultured aerobic denitrifiers were screened from a source water reservoir and named HE1, HE3 and SU4. Approximately 72.9%, 68.6% and 66.2% of nitrate were effectively removed from basal medium, respectively, after 120 h of cultivation at 8 °C. The nitrogen balance analysis revealed about one-fifth of the initial nitrogen was converted into gaseous denitrification products. According to the results of Biolog, the three microfloras had high metabolic capacity to carbon sources. The dominant genera were Pseudomonas and Paracoccus in these bacterial communities based on nirS gene sequencing. Response surface methodology elucidated that the denitrification rates of identified bacteria reached the maximum under the following optimal parameters: C/N ratio of 7.51-8.34, pH of 8.03-8.09, temperature of 18.03-20.19 °C, and shaking speed of 67.04-120 rpm. All results suggested that screened aerobic denitrifiers could potentially be applied to improve the source water quality at low temperature.

Abstract
β-alanine is widely used as an intermediate in industrial production. However, the low production of microbial cell factories limits its further application. Here, to improve the biosynthesis production of β-alanine in Escherichia coli, multivariate modular metabolic engineering was recruited to manipulate the β-alanine biosynthesis pathway through keeping the balance of metabolic flux among the whole metabolic network. The β-alanine biosynthesis pathway was separated into three modules: the β-alanine biosynthesis module, TCA module, and glycolysis module. Global regulation was performed throughout the entire β-alanine biosynthesis pathway rationally and systematically by optimizing metabolic flux, overcoming metabolic bottlenecks and weakening branch pathways. As a result, metabolic flux was channeled in the direction of β-alanine biosynthesis without huge metabolic burden, and 37.9 g/L β-alanine was generated by engineered Escherichia coli strain B0016-07 in fed-batch fermentation. This study was meaningful to the synthetic biology of β-alanine industrial production.

Abstract
A denitrifying strain with high efficiency at low carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio of 2.0 was isolated and characterized. It belongs to the genus Pseudomonas. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that GF2 was rod-shaped. The nitrate removal efficiency reached up to 92.41% (1.85 mg L-1 h-1) with the C/N ratio of 2.0 and the nitrite accumulation eventually decreased to 0.88 mg L-1. By response surface method (RSM) method, three reaction conditions of strain GF2 were optimized, including pH, C/N ratio, and nitrate concentration. Nitrogen balance and gas detection revealed that 88.03% of nitrogen was removed in gaseous form (included 98.80% nitrogen gas), which confirmed its efficient denitrification ability and pathway. 3D fluorescence spectrum (3D-EEM) manifested that in the absence of organic matter, strain GF2 can utilize extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) as carbon source for efficient denitrification. This research strived to provide new research ideas for low C/N ratio sewage treatment.

Up to now, the application of vesicle-mediated horizontal transfer of "degrading genes" in environmental remediation has not been reported. In this study, the nirS gene from an aerobic denitrification bacterium, Pseudomonas stutzeri, was enclosed in a pET28a plasmid, transformed into Escherichia coli (E. coli) DH5α and expressed in E. coli BL21. The E. coli DH5α released OMVs containing the recombination plasmid pET28a-nirS-EGFP. When compared with the free pET28a-nirS-EGFP plasmid's inability to transform, nirS in OMVs could be transferred into E. coli BL21 with the transformation frequency of 2.76 × 106 CFU/g when the dosage of OMVs was 200 µg under natural conditions, and nirS could express successfully in recipient bacteria. Furthermore, the recipient bacteria that received OMVs containing pET28a-nirS-EGFP could produce 18.16 U/mL activity of nitrite reductase.

Abstract
Aerobic denitrifying bacteria were widely reported in different nitrogen polluted aquatic ecosystem. However, the aerobic denitrification characteristics of actinomycete were not well understood. Here, the actinomycete strain XD-11-6-2 was isolated from reservoir and identified as Streptomyces sp. XD-11-6-2 by DNA sequencing. Strain XD-11-6-2 removed 90.34% of total organic carbon and 93.66% of total nitrogen under aerobic condition. A total of 77.87% of nitrogen was removed as a gaseous product, and 15.67% of nitrogen was converted into biomass. Biolog combined with network model indicated that strain XD-11-6-2 could use six types of carbon sources, and exhibit outstanding capacity to metabolize diverse carbon sources. Moreover, the highest nitrate and total nitrogen removal efficiencies of raw water were 72.29% and 74.86%, respectively. In general, these results provide new insights to understand the potential of actinomycetes in treating micro-polluted water.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 754:141965.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore how dissolved oxygen (DO) affected the characteristics and mechanisms of denitrification in mixed bacterial consortia. We analyzed denitrification efficiency, intracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), relative expression of functional genes, and potential co-occurrence network of microorganisms. Results showed that the total nitrogen (TN) removal rates at different aeration intensities (0.00, 0.25, 0.63, and 1.25 L/(L·min)) were 0.93, 1.45, 0.86, and 0.53 mg/(L·min), respectively, which were higher than previously reported values for pure culture. The optimal aeration intensity was 0.25 L/(L·min), at which the maximum NADH accumulation rate and highest relative abundance of napA, nirK, and nosZ were achieved. With increased aeration intensity, the amount of electron flux to nitrate decreased and nitrate assimilation increased. On one hand, nitrate reduction was primarily inhibited by oxygen through competition for electron donors of a certain single strain. On the other hand, oxygen was consumed rapidly by bacteria by stimulating carbon metabolism to create an optimal denitrification niche for denitrifying microorganisms. Denitrification was performed via inter-genus cooperation (competitive interactions and symbiotic relationships) between keystone taxa (Azoarcus, Paracoccus, Thauera, Stappia, and Pseudomonas) and other heterotrophic bacteria (OHB) in aeration reactors. However, in the non-aeration case, which was primarily carried out based on intra-genus syntrophy within genus Propionivibrio, the co-occurrence network constructed the optimal niche contributing to the high TN removal efficiency. Overall, this study enhanced our knowledge about the molecular ecological mechanisms of aerobic denitrification in mixed bacterial consortia and has theoretical guiding significance for further practical application.

Water-lifting aerator reduces algal growth in stratified drinking water reservoir: Novel insights into algal metabolic profiling and engineering applications. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 266:115384. [PMID: 32823043 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.115384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/04/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Water-lifting aerator (WLA) which was developed by Professor Tinglin Huang at Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology, China has multi-functional water quality improvement that significantly inhibits the occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in deep drinking water reservoirs. However, the biological mechanism of WLA to the suppress algal growth has not been comprehensively understood. Here, the cellular mechanism that allows WLA to control HABs was explored based on the combination of both laboratory simulation and field investigation. Under simulated hydrodynamic conditions, the results showed that the cell density, chlorophyll a content, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and dehydrogenase activity in Microcystis aeruginosa all peaked under light conditions at 25 °C. The metabolic activity of M. aeruginosa varied significantly under low temperature at 6 °C and light conditions when cultured for 48 h. The extracellular organic matter (EOM) and intracellular organic matter (IOM) contents of M. aeruginosa were both resolved into three components. Moreover, the total fluorescence intensities from EOM and IOM both peaked under light conditions at 25 °C. The field investigation showed that the growth of algae was decreased significantly in Lijiahe drinking water reservoir with WLA application. The chlorophyll fluorescence parameters decreased significantly after vertical mixing, thereby indicating that the WLA weakened the photosynthetic ability and reduced the biological activity of algae in situ. In addition, the WLA significantly affected the vertical distribution of the phytoplankton community composition. Altogether, these results shed new lights on understanding the control of algal blooms by WLA in stratified drinking water reservoirs. WLA has broad prospect of engineering applications, which can control algal blooms of water supply resources in situ, therefore, reduce the content of disinfection by-products in drinking water treatment plants.

Abstract
Three novel mix-cultured aerobic denitrifying bacteria (Mix-CADB) consortia named D14, X21, and CL exhibited excellent total organic carbon (TOC) removal and aerobic denitrification capacities. The TOC and nitrate removal efficiencies were higher than 93.00% and 98.00%. The results of Biolog demonstrated that three communities displayed high carbon metabolic activity. nirS gene sequencing and ecological network model revealed that Pseudomonas stutzeri, Paracoccus sp., and Paracoccus denitrificans dominated in the D14, X21, and CL communities. The dynamics and co-existence of core species in communities drove the nutrient removal. Response surface methodology showed the predicted total nitrogen removal efficiency reached 99.43% for D14 community. The three Mix-CADB consortia have great potential for nitrogen-polluted aquatic water treatment because of their strong adaptability and removal performance. These results will provide new understanding of co-existence, interaction and dynamics of Mix-CADB consortia for nitrogen removal in nitrogen-polluted aquatic ecosystems.
