Abstract
The heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HNAD) strain Exiguobacterium H1 (H1) was isolated in this study. The changes in nitrogen metabolism functions of H1 strain were discussed in presence of disinfectants chloroxylenol (PCMX) and benzethonium chloride (BEC) alone and combined pollution (PCMX+BEC). The H1 strain could use NH4+-N, NO2--N and NO3--N as nitrogen sources and had good nitrogen removal performance under conditions of C/N ratio 25, pH 5-8, 25-35 oC and sodium acetate as carbon. PCMX and BEC alone exhibited hormesis effects on H1 strain which promoted the growth of H1 strain at low concentrations but inhibited it at high concentrations, and combined pollution showed synergistic inhibitory on H1 strain. H1 strain owned a full nitrogen metabolic pathway according to functional genes quantification. PCMX encouraged nitrification process of H1, while BEC and combined pollution mostly blocked nitrogen removal. PCMX, but not BEC, mainly led to the enrichment of resistance genes. These findings will aid in systematic assessment of contaminant tolerance characteristics of HNAD strain and its application prospects.

Abstract
China's aquatic environment continues to face several difficulties. Ecological constructed wetland systems (CWs) can be used to treat polluted saline water to alleviate water shortages regionally and globally. However, the performance is limited by low temperatures. To expand the use of CWs, we introduced a slag-sponge, a flaky material derived from alkaline waste slag, to create a newly constructed wetland system that can operate at both low and high temperatures. We evaluated its effectiveness by placing it at different heights in our devices. The results showed that the treatment was effective for saline wastewater with multiple contaminants. The efficiency was 20% higher than that of traditional CWs. Slag-sponges were found to carry pore structures and exhibit thermal insulation, which led to the enrichment of functional microbial communities (Chryseobacterium and Exiguerium) at low temperatures according to the microbial species analysis. The enhanced CWs offer another option for the treatment of polluted saline water in the environment and provide promising strategies for the utilization of waste slag.

Abstract
Viruses manipulate bacterial community composition and impact wastewater treatment efficiency. Some viruses pose threats to the environment and human populations through infection. Improving the efficiency of wastewater treatment and ensuring the health of the effluent and receptor pools requires an understanding of how viral communities assemble and interact with hosts in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). We used metagenomic analysis to study the distribution, assembly mechanism, and sensitive hosts for the viral communities in raw water, anaerobic tanks, and returned activated sludge units of a large-scale industrial park WWTP. Uroviricota (53.42% ± 0.14%) and Nucleocytoviricota (26.1% ± 0.19%) were dominant in all units. Viral community composition significantly differed between units, as measured by β diversity (P = 0.005). Compared to raw water, the relative viral abundance decreased by 29.8% in the anaerobic tank but increased by 9.9% in the activated sludge. Viral community assembly in raw water and anaerobic tanks was predominantly driven by deterministic processes (MST <0.5) versus stochastic processes (MST >0.5) in the activated sludge, indicating that differences in diffusion limits may fundamentally alter the assembly mechanisms of viral communities between the solid and liquid-phase environments. Acidobacteria was identified as the sensitive host contributing to viral abundance, exhibiting strong interactions and a mutual dependence (degree = 59). These results demonstrate the occurrence and prevalence of viruses in WWTPs, their different assembly mechanism, and sensitive hosts. These observations require further study of the mechanisms of viral community succession, ecological function, and roles in the successive wastewater treatment units.

Abstract
This work aims at intensifying the simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus of an integrated aerobic granular sludge (AGS) - membrane bioreactor (MBR) by Acinetobacter junii. After acclimation and enrichment in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR), Acinetobacter junii, a kind of denitrifying phosphate accumulating organism (DPAO), was successfully screened in the used SBR. Then it was verified to be capable of effectively enhancing the performance in the simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus of AGS-MBR. In the system, DPAO (Acinetobacter junii) mainly occurred in AGS, and the highest ratio even reached 22.8%, but its competitive advantages highly depend on the size of AGS. The presented results can cultivate AGS and enrich DPAO simultaneously to improve the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus of an AGS-MBR, which provide an environmentally friendly approach to upgrade traditional wastewater treatment processes.

Abstract
This study provides for the first time a systematic understanding of Acinetobacter indicus CZH-5 performance, metabolic pathway and genomic characteristics for aerobic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) removal. Acinetobacter indicus CZH-5 showed promising performance in heterotrophic nitrification aerobic denitrification and aerobic phosphorus removal. Under optimal conditions, the maximum ammonia-N, total nitrogen and orthophosphate-P removal efficiencies were 90.17%, 86.33%, and 99.89%, respectively. The wide tolerance range suggests the strong environmental adaptability of the bacteria. The complete genome of this strain was reconstructed. Whole genome annotation was used to re-construct the N and P metabolic pathways, and related intracellular substance metabolic pathways were proposed. The transcription levels of related functional genes and enzyme activities further confirmed these metabolic mechanisms. N removal was achieved via the nitrification-denitrification pathway. Furthermore, CZH-5 exhibited significant aerobic P uptake, with phosphate diesters as the main species of intracellular P.

Abstract
Increasing eutrophication has led to a continuous deterioration of many aquatic ecosystems. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) can provide insight into the human response to this challenge, as they initiate enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) through cyclical anaerobic phosphorus release and aerobic phosphorus uptake. Although the limiting environmental factors for PAO growth and phosphorus removal have been widely discussed, there remains a gap in the knowledge surrounding the differences in the type and phosphorus removal efficiencies of natural and engineered PAO systems. Furthermore, due to the limitations of PAOs in conventional wastewater treatment environments, there is an urgent need to find functional PAOs in extreme environments for better wastewater treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the effects of extreme conditions on the phosphorus removal efficiency of PAOs as well as the types, sources, and characteristics of PAOs. In this paper, we summarize the response mechanisms of PAOs, denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (D-PAOs), aerobic denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (AD-PAOs), and sulfur-related PAOs (S-PAOs). The mechanism of nitrogen and phosphorus removal in PAOs is related to the coupling cycles of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. The genera of PAOs differ in natural and engineered systems, but PAOs have more diversity in aquatic environments and soils. Recent studies on the impact of several parameters (e.g., temperature, carbon source, pH, and dissolved oxygen) and extracellular polymer substances on the phosphorus removal efficiency of PAOs in natural and engineered systems are further discussed. Most of the PAOs screened under extreme conditions still had high phosphorus removal efficiencies (>80.0 %). These results provide a reference for searching for PAOs with different adaptations to achieve better wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Aerobic denitrification is the key process in the elimination of nitrogen from aquaculture wastewater, especially for wastewater with high dissolved oxygen and low carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio. However, a low C/N ratio, especially in low-temperature environments, restricts the activity of aerobic denitrifiers and decreases the nitrogen elimination efficiency. In this study, an iron-based multi-solid carbon source composite that immobilized aerobic denitrifying bacteria ZS1 (IMCSCP) was synthesized to treat aerobic (DO > 5 mg/L), low temperature (<15 °C) and low C/N ratio (C/N = 4) aquaculture wastewater. The results showed that the sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) packed with IMCSCP exhibited the highest nitrogen removal performance, with removal rates of 95.63% and 85.44% for nitrate nitrogen and total nitrogen, respectively, which were 33.03% and 30.75% higher than those in the reactor filled with multi-solid carbon source composite (MCSC). Microbial community and network analysis showed that Pseudomonas furukawaii ZS1 successfully colonized the SBBR filled with IMCSCP, and Exiguobacterium, Cellulomonas and Pseudomonas were essential for the nitrogen elimination. Metagenomic analysis showed that an increase in gene abundance related to carbon metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, extracellular polymer substance synthesis and electron transfer in the IMCSCP, enabling denitrification in the SBBR to be achieved via multiple pathways. The results of this study provided new insights into the microbial removal mechanism of nitrogen in SBBR packed with IMCSCP at low temperatures.

Abstract
Treating wastewater using purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) is an environmentally friendly technique that can simultaneously remove pollutants and lead to the accumulation of high-value cell inclusions. However, no PNSB system for treating heavy oil refinery wastewater (HORW) and recovering high-value cell inclusions has yet been developed. In this study, five batch PNSB systems dominated by Rhodopseudomonas were used to treat real HORW for 186 d. The effects of using different hydraulic retention times (HRT), sludge retention times (SRT), trace element solutions, phosphate loads, and influent loads were investigated, and the bacteriochlorophyll, carotenoid, and coenzyme Q10 concentrations were determined. The community structure and quantity of Rhodopseudomonas in the systems were determined using a high-sequencing technique and quantitative polymerase chain reaction technique. The long-term results indicated that phosphate was the limiting factor for treating HORW in the PNSB reactor. The soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) removal rates were 67.03% and 85.26% without and with phosphate added, respectively, and the NH4+-N removal rates were 32.18% and 89.22%, respectively. The NO3--N concentration in the effluent was stable at 0-3 mg/L with or without phosphate added. Adding phosphate increased the Rhodopseudomonas relative abundance and number by 13.21% and 41.61%, respectively, to 57.35% and 8.52 × 106 gene copies/μL, respectively. The SRT was the limiting factor for SCOD removal, and the bacteria concentration was the limiting factor for nitrogen removal. Once the inflow load had been increased, the total nitrogen (TN) removal rate increased as the HRT increased. Maximum TN removal rates of 64.46%, 68.06%, 73.89%, 82.15%, and 89.73% were found at HRT of 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19 d, respectively. The highest bacteriochlorophyll, carotenoid, and coenzyme Q10 concentrations were 2.92, 4.99, and 4.53 mg/L, respectively. This study provided a simple and efficient method for treating HORW and reutilizing resources, providing theoretical support and parameter guidance for the application of Rhodopseudomonas in treating HORW.

Abstract
To remove ammonium and tetracycline (TC) from wastewater, a new strain, DX-21, was isolated and exhibited simultaneous removal ability. The performance of DX-21 in TC removal, its removal mechanism, and the potential toxicities of the degradation products were investigated with genomics, mass spectrometry, density functional theory calculations, quantitative structure-activity relationship analyses, and Escherichia coli exposure experiments. DX-21 exhibited removal of ammonium (9.64 mg·L-1·h-1) via assimilation, and TC removal (0.85 mg·L-1·h-1) primarily occurred through cell surface bio-adsorption and biodegradation. Among the 12 identified degradation products, the majority exhibited lower toxicities than TC. Moreover, potential degradation pathways were proposed, including hydroxylation and deamination. Furthermore, DX-21 possessed TC resistance genes, various oxygenases and peroxidases that could potentially contribute to TC degradation. DX-21 colonized activated sludge and significantly enhanced the biodegradation of TC. Therefore, DX-21 showed potential for treating wastewater containing both ammonium and TC.

Abstract
Heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) process was achieved in a moving bed biofilm reactor after 180-days acclimation using PCL as carbon source for low C/N wastewater treatment. A novel HN-AD strain, JQ-H3, with ability of PCL degradation was augmented to improve nitrogen removal. TN removal efficiencies of 82.31%, 90.05%, and 93.16% were achieved in the augmented reactor (R2), at different HRTs of 24 h, 20 h, and 16 h, while in the control reactor (R1), the TN removal efficiencies were 59.24%, 74.61%, and 76.68%. The effluent COD in R2 was 10.17 mg/L, much lower than that of 42.45 mg/L in R1. Microbial community analysis revealed that JQ-H3 has successfully proliferated with a relative abundance of 4.79%. Relative abundances of functional enzymes of nitrogen cycling remarkably increased due to bioaugmentation based on the analysis of PICRUSt2. This study provides a new approach for enhancing nitrogen removal in low C/N sewage treatment via the HN-AD process.

Abstract
In this study, three strains of heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) capable of simultaneously removing phosphorus were isolated from activated sludge, and low-temperature coconut shell biochar was prepared. The metabolic effects of combined HN-AD bacteria on the total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were investigated, and the enhanced efficiency and mechanism of low-temperature biochar on the combined bacteria were also explored. The results indicated that the combined bacteria could adapt to environmental impacts and multiple nitrogen sources. The low-temperature biochar containing more aliphatic carbon and oxygen-containing functional groups enhanced the metabolic activity of combined HN-AD bacteria and accelerated the electron transfer process during nitrogen and phosphorus degradation. The removal efficiencies of TN and TP increased by 68% and 88%, respectively, in the treatment of actual sewage by biochar attached with combined bacteria. The findings form a basis for the engineering utilization of HN-AD and are of great practical significance.

Abstract
This study investigated the genetic variability and antibiotic resistance of Acinetobacter community depending on the stage of wastewater treatment in Kokšov-Bakša for the city of Košice (Slovakia). After cultivation, bacterial isolates were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and their sensitivity to ampicillin, kanamycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin was examined. Acinetobacter spp. and Aeromonas spp. dominated bacterial populations in all wastewater samples. We identified 12 different groups based on protein profiling, 14 genotypes by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis and 11 Acinetobacter species using 16S rDNA sequence analysis within Acinetobacter community, which showed significant variability in their spatial distribution. While Acinetobacter population structure changed during the wastewater treatment, the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains did not significantly vary depending on the stage of wastewater treatment. The study highlights the role of a highly genetically diverse Acinetobacter community surviving in wastewater treatment plants as an important environmental reservoir assisting in the further dissemination of antibiotic resistance in aquatic systems.

Abstract
Simultaneous nitrogen removal via heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) has received widespread attention in biological treatment of wastewater. This study reported a novel Lysinibacillus fusiformis B301 strain, which effectively removed nitrogenous pollutants via HN-AD in one aerobic reactor with no nitrite accumulated. It exhibited the optimal nitrogen removal efficiency under 30°C, citrate as the carbon source and C/N ratio of 15. The maximum nitrogen removal rates were up to 2.11 mgNH4 + -N/(L·h), 1.62 mgNO3 - -N/(L·h), and 1.41 mgNO2 - -N/(L·h), respectively, when ammonium, nitrate, and nitrite were employed as the only nitrogen source under aerobic conditions. Ammonium nitrogen was preferentially consumed via HN-AD in the coexistence of three nitrogen species, and the removal efficiencies of total nitrogen were up to 94.26%. Nitrogen balance analysis suggested that 83.25% of ammonium was converted to gaseous nitrogen. The HD-AD pathway catalyzed by L. fusiformis B301 followed NH 4 + → N H 2 OH → NO 2 - → NO 3 - → NO 2 - → N 2 , supported by the results of key denitrifying enzymatic activities. PRACTITIONER POINTS: The novel Lysinibacillus fusiformis B301 exhibited the outstanding HN-AD ability. The novel Lysinibacillus fusiformis B301 simultaneously removed multiple nitrogen species. No nitrite accumulated during the HN-AD process. Five key denitrifying enzymes were involved in the HN-AD process. Ammonium nitrogen (83.25%) was converted to gaseous nitrogen by the novel strain.

Abstract
The structured-bed reactor with intermittent aeration (SBRIA) is a promising technology for simultaneous carbon and nitrogen removal from wastewater. An in depth understanding of the microbiological in the reactor is crucial for its optimization. In this research, biofilm samples from the aerobic and anoxic zones of an SBRIA were analyzed through 16S rRNA sequencing to evaluate the bacterial community shift with variations in the airflow and aeration time. The control of the airflow and aeration time were essential to guarantee reactor performances to nitrogen removal close to 80%, as it interfered in nitrifying and denitrifying communities. The aeration time of 1.75 h led to establishment of different nitrogen removal pathways by syntrophic relationships between nitrifier, denitrifier and anammox species. Additionally, the predominance of these different species in the internal and external parts of the biofilm varied according to the airflow.

Abstract
A heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) strain isolated from membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) was identified as Pseudomonas sp. B-1, which could effectively utilize multiple nitrogen sources and preferentially consume NH4-N. The maximum degradation efficiencies of NO3-N, NO2-N and NH4-N were 98.04%, 94.84% and 95.74%, respectively. The optimal incubation time, shaking speed, carbon source, pH, temperature and C/N ratio were 60 h, 180 rpm, sodium succinate, 8, 30 °C and 25, respectively. The strain preferred salinity of 1.5% and resisted heavy metals in the order of Mn2+ > Co2+ > Zn2+ > Cu2+. It can be preliminarily speculated from the results of enzyme assay that the strain removed nitrogen via full nitrification-denitrification pathway. The addition of strain into the conventional MABR significantly intensified the HN-AD performance of the reactor. The relative abundance of the functional bacteria including Flavobacterium, Pseudomonas, Paracoccus, Azoarcus and Thauera was obviously increased after the bioaugmentation. Besides, the expression of the HN-AD related genes in the biofilm was also strengthened. Thus, strain B-1 had great application potential in nitrogen removal process.

Abstract
The nitrogen removal efficiency of heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) bacteria can be seriously inhibited at low temperatures (< 15 °C). A novel psychrotolerant bacterium, Pseudomonas peli NR-5 (P. peli NR-5), with efficient HN-AD capability was isolated and screened from river sediments in cold areas. When P. peli NR-5 was aerobically cultivated for 60 h at 10 °C with NH4+-N, NO3--N, and NO2--N as the sole nitrogen sources (N 105 mg/L), the nitrogen removal efficiencies were 97.3, 95.3, and 87.8%, respectively, without nitrite accumulation, and the corresponding average nitrogen removal rates were 1.71, 1.67, and 1.55 mg/L/h, respectively. Meanwhile, P. peli NR-5 exhibited excellent simultaneous nitrification and denitrification capabilities at 10 °C. Sodium succinate was the most favorable carbon substrate for bacterial growth and ammonia removal by strain NR-5. The optimal culture conditions determined by the response surface methodology model were a carbon to nitrogen ratio of 5.9, temperature of 11.5 °C, pH of 7.0, and shaking speed of 144 rpm. Under these conditions, 99.1% of the total nitrogen was removed in the verification experiments, which was not significantly different from the predicted maximum removal in the model (99.6%). Six functional genes participating in the HN-AD process were successfully obtained by polymerase chain reaction amplification, which further confirmed the HN-AD capability of P. peli NR-5 and proposed the metabolic pathway of HN-AD. The above results provide a theoretical background of psychrotolerant HN-AD bacteria in wastewater purification under low-temperature conditions.

Abstract
The anaerobic/aerobic/anoxic (A/O/A) process is a promising biotechnology to intensify denitrification in low carbon/nitrogen (C/N) wastewater treatment, but the neglected typical rate-limiting step-nitrification-would hinder its wider application. Heterotrophic nitrification driven by intracellular carbon (PHAs) could enhance nitrification and achieve endogenous simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (ESND) in the A/O/A process, but its feasibility remains unexamined. Here we established four A/O/A-SBRs at different C/N ratios (3, 7.5, 12, and 16.5) to address the above-mentioned knowledge gaps. The results showed that organic supplementation promoted both nitrification and denitrification (performance and relevant enzymatic activities) until organic overdose (C/N = 16.5) exacerbated niche competitions from other non-functional heterotrophs. qPCR and batch tests indicated that high C/N ratios inhibited autotrophic nitrifiers, and heterotrophic nitrifiers (HNB) dominated in the enhanced nitrification. Given the high HNB contribution (43.7%) and low COD variation (< 10 mg L-1) in the SND (76.4%) of CN12, we proposed a potential SND pathway based on heterotrophic nitrification and denitrification driven by PHAs and verified it with batch tests. Microbial and functional analyses suggested that CN12 favored the intracellular carbon transformation and harbored the minimum autotrophic nitrifiers, supporting the dominance of ESND in the enhanced SND. Our findings expand the understanding of the relationships between intracellular carbon transformation and SND and provide a novel nitrogen removal pathway for the practical application of the A/O/A process.

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.

Han F, Zhou W. Nitrogen recovery from wastewater by microbial assimilation - A review. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 363:127933. [PMID: 36100188 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.127933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 09/03/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The increased nitrogen (N) input with low utilization rate in artificial N management has led to massive reactive N (Nr) flows, putting the Earth in a high-risk state. It is essential to recover and recycle Nr during or after Nr removal from wastewater to reduce N input while simultaneously mitigate Nr pollution in addressing the N stress. However, mechanisms for efficient Nr recovery during or after Nr removal remain unclear. Here, the occurrence of N risk and progress in wastewater treatment in recent years as well as challenges of the current technologies for N recovery from wastewater were reviewed. Through analyzing N conversion fluxes in biogeochemical N-cycling networks, microbial N assimilation through photosynthetic and heterotrophic microorganisms was highlighted as promising alternative for synergistic N removal and recovery in wastewater treatment. In addition, the prospects and gaps of Nr recovery from wastewater through microbial assimilation are discussed.

Single-cell Raman-activated sorting and cultivation (scRACS-Culture) for assessing and mining in situ phosphate-solubilizing microbes from nature. ISME COMMUNICATIONS 2022; 2:106. [PMID: 37938284 PMCID: PMC9723661 DOI: 10.1038/s43705-022-00188-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Due to the challenges in detecting in situ activity and cultivating the not-yet-cultured, functional assessment and mining of living microbes from nature has typically followed a 'culture-first' paradigm. Here, employing phosphate-solubilizing microbes (PSM) as model, we introduce a 'screen-first' strategy that is underpinned by a precisely one-cell-resolution, complete workflow of single-cell Raman-activated Sorting and Cultivation (scRACS-Culture). Directly from domestic sewage, individual cells were screened for in-situ organic-phosphate-solubilizing activity via D2O intake rate, sorted by the function via Raman-activated Gravity-driven Encapsulation (RAGE), and then cultivated from precisely one cell. By scRACS-Culture, pure cultures of strong organic PSM including Comamonas spp., Acinetobacter spp., Enterobacter spp. and Citrobacter spp., were derived, whose phosphate-solubilizing activities in situ are 90-200% higher than in pure culture, underscoring the importance of 'screen-first' strategy. Moreover, employing scRACS-Seq for post-RACS cells that remain uncultured, we discovered a previously unknown, low-abundance, strong organic-PSM of Cutibacterium spp. that employs secretary metallophosphoesterase (MPP), cell-wall-anchored 5'-nucleotidase (encoded by ushA) and periplasmic-membrane located PstSCAB-PhoU transporter system for efficient solubilization and scavenging of extracellular phosphate in sewage. Therefore, scRACS-Culture and scRACS-Seq provide an in situ function-based, 'screen-first' approach for assessing and mining microbes directly from the environment.

Abstract
For improving the poor de-nitrogen efficiency and effluent quality faced by wastewater treatment plants in winter, a novel cold-resistant strain, Rhizobium sp. WS7 was isolated. Strain WS7 presented dramatic de-nitrogen efficiencies including 98.73 % of NH4+-N, 99.98 % of NO3--N, 100 % of NO2--N and approximately 100 % of mixed nitrogen (NH4+-N and NO3--N) at 15 °C. Optimum parameters of WS7 for aerobic denitrification were determined. Additionally, functional genes (amoA, napA, nirK, norB, and nosZ) and key enzymes (nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase) activities were determined. Nitrogen balance analysis suggested that assimilation played a dominant role in de-nitrogen by WS7, the NH4+-N metabolic pathway was deduced as NH4+-N → NH2OH → NO → N2O → N2, and the NO3--N/NO2--N metabolic pathway was deduced as NO3--N → NO2--N → NO → N2O → N2. The cold-resistant Rhizobium sp. WS7 has great application feasibility in cold sewage treatment.

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
To investigate the effect of residual coagulant after coagulation pretreatment on activated sludge system of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), comparative evaluation of lab-scale sequencing batch reactors under different poly-aluminum chloride (PAC) concentrations (20 and 55 mg/L), presenting the performance differences of reactors. Results showed that the PAC concentration of 20 mg/L slightly enhanced the average removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total nitrogen (TN), up to 93.43% and 72.52%. Whereas, an inhibition effect was exerted at the PAC concentration of 55 mg/L, the average removal efficiencies decreased to 88.56% and 57.80% respectively. Similarly, the residual aluminum salts showed a concentration effect of low promotion and high inhibition on sludge activity index. The content of specific oxygen utilization rate (SOUR) and dehydrogenase (DHA) sharply decreased by 30.17% and 53.56% under the high PAC concentration of 55 mg/L. Activity recovery phase showed that the suppression of aluminum salt coagulant on biological system was reversible. High-throughput sequencing presented that the relative abundance of microbes showed obvious variations at different PAC concentrations, and certain bacteria in Chloroflexi and Bacteroidota exhibited better adaptability to the high PAC concentration environment. Nevertheless, the antagonism action between denitrifying genera and other genera as well as the downregulation of functional enzymes regarding nitrogen metabolism gave rise to the deterioration of denitrification under the high PAC concentration of 55 mg/L. This study revealed the influence mechanism of residual aluminum salt coagulant on activated sludge system, providing strategies for efficient decontamination and long-term stable operation of biological system in wastewater treatment plant under the condition of adding PAC.

Abstract
The novel Paracoccus denitrificans AC-3 strain was isolated and displayed outstanding purification capability for high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) and calcium (Ca2+). Meanwhile, the strain exhibited excellent environmental adaptability within a wide pH range and high levels of NH4+-N and Ca2+. Nitrogen balance analysis demonstrated that the pathways of NH4+-N removal consisted of 80.12% assimilation and 16.60% heterotrophic nitrification aerobic denitrification (HNAD). In addition, Ca2+ was removed by forming calcium carbonate (CaCO3) with carbonate (CO32-) and bicarbonate (HCO3-). CO32-and HCO3- were obtained from carbon dioxide (CO2) hydration, which was catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase (CA) secreted by strain AC-3. The alkaline environment for carbonate precipitation was provided by CA and HNAD. The resulting CaCO3 existed in the form of calcite and exhibited a unique morphology and elemental composition.

Abstract
Eutrophication has attracted extensive attention owing to its harmful effects to the organisms and aquatic environment. Studies on the functional microorganisms with the ability of simultaneously nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) removal is of great significance for alleviating eutrophication. Thus far, several strains from various genera have been reported to accomplish simultaneous N and P removal, which is primarily observed in Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Paracoccus, and Arthrobacter. The mechanism of N and P removal by denitrifying P accumulating organisms (DPAOs) is different from the traditional biological N and P removal. The denitrifying P removal (DPR) technology based on the metabolic function of DPAOs can overcome the problem of carbon source competition and sludge age contradiction in traditional biological N and P removal processes and can be applied to the treatment of urban sewage with low C/N ratio. This paper reviews the mechanism of N and P removal by DPAOs from the aspect of the metabolic pathways and enzymatic processes. The research progress on DPR processes is also summarized and elucidated. Further research should focus on the efficient removal of N and P by improving the performance of functional microorganisms and development of new coupling processes. This review can serve as a basis for screening DPAOs with high N and P removal efficiency and developing new DPR processes in the future.

Abstract
Excess amount of nitrogen in wastewater has caused serious concerns, such as water eutrophication. Paracoccus pantotrophus MA3, a novel isolated strain of heterotrophic nitrification-anaerobic denitrification bacteria, was evaluated for nitrogen removal using formic acid as the sole carbon source. The results showed that the maximum ammonium removal efficiency was observed under the optimum conditions of 26.25 carbon to nitrogen ratio, 3.39% (v/v) inoculation amount, 34.64 °C temperature, and at 180 rpm shaking speed, respectively. In addition, quantitative real-time PCR technique analysis assured that the gene expression level of formate dehydrogenase, formate tetrahydrofolate ligase, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, serine hydroxymethyltransferase, respiratory nitrate reductase beta subunit, L-glutamine synthetase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and glutamate synthase were up-regulated compared to the control group, and combined with nitrogen mass balance analysis to conclude that most of the ammonium was removed by assimilation. A small amount of nitrate and nearly no nitrite were accumulated during heterotrophic nitrification. MA3 exhibited significant denitrification potential under anaerobic conditions with a maximum nitrate removal rate of 4.39 mg/L/h, and the only gas produced was N2. Additionally, 11.50 ± 0.06 mg/L/h of NH4+-N removal rate from biogas slurry was achieved.

Abstract
Mixed Enterobacter sp. Z1 and Klebsiella sp. Z2 displayed an outstanding ammonia removal capacity than using a single strain. Metabolomics, proteomics, and RNA interference analysis demonstrated that the HNAD process was closely related to indole-acetic acid (IAA). Under the cocultured conditions, the excess IAA produced by Z2 could be absorbed by Z1 to compensate for the deficiency of IAA in the cells. IAA directly induced the expression of denitrifying enzymes and further activated the IAA metabolism level, thus greatly improving the nitrogen removal ability of Z1. In turn, nitrate and nitrite induced the expression of key enzymes in the IAA pathways. Moreover, Z1 and Z2 enhanced two IAA metabolic pathways in the process of mixed removal process. The activated hydrolysis-redox pathway in Z1 reduced the oxidative stress level, and the activated decarboxylation pathway in Z2 promoted intracellular energy metabolism, which indirectly promoted the process of HNAD in the system.

Abstract
Freshwater lakes are important reservoirs and sources of drinking water globally. However, the microbiota, which supports the functionality of these ecosystems is threatened by the influx of nutrients, heavy metals and other toxic chemical substances from anthropogenic activities. The influence of these factors on the diversity, assembly mechanisms and co-occurrence patterns of bacterial communities in freshwater lakes is not clearly understood. Hence, samples were collected from six different impacted lakes in Canada and India and examined by 454-pyrosequencing technology. The trophic status of these lakes was determined using specific chemical parameters. Our results revealed that bacterial diversity and community composition was altered by both the lake water chemistry and geographic distance. Anthropogenic activities pervasively influenced species distribution. Dispersal limitation (32.3%), homogenous selection (31.8%) and drift (20%) accounted for the largest proportions of the bacterial community assembly mechanisms. Homogenous selection increased in lakes with higher nutrient concentration, while stochasticity reduced. Community functional profiles revealed that deterministic processes dominated the assembly mechanisms of phylotypes with higher potential for biodegradation, while stochasticity dominated the assembly of phylotypes with potential for antimicrobial resistance. Bacteroidota (44%) and Proteobacteria (34%) were the most abundant phyla. Co-occurrence network analysis revealed that complexity increased in more impacted lakes, while competition and the nature of anthropogenic activity contributed to species sorting. Overall, this study demonstrates that bacterial community changes in freshwater lakes are linked to anthropogenic activities, with corresponding consequences on the distribution of phylotypes of environmental and human health interest.

Abstract
A new bacterial strain, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus TY1, was identified in activated sludge. This strain efficiently metabolized nitrogen from ammonium at low temperatures, utilizing NH4+-N, NO3--N, and NO2--N as nitrogen sources. Of these, NH4+-N was superior in terms of both assimilation and heterotrophic nitrification at 8 °C. The nitrogen metabolism-associated genes amoA, nirK, and nosZ were identified in TY1. Optimal requirements for growth and nitrogen removal were pH 7, shaking speed of 90 rpm, a C/N ratio of 10, and sodium citrate for the carbon supply. The ability to denitrify at low temperature suggests TY1's potential for wastewater management.

Abstract
Submerged macrophytes and their epiphytic biofilms are important media for metal transport/transformation in aquatic environment. However, the bacterial community structure and the contribution of the epiphytic biofilm to the heavy metal accumulation remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, water, sediment, submerged macrophyte (Potamogeton crispus L.) and its epiphytic biofilm samples in three sites of the moat in the industrial area of Hangzhou were collected for analyzing. The bacterial community structure was significantly impacted by the TN concentrations, and Genus Aeromonas (24.5-41.8%), Acinetobacter (16.2-29.8%) and Pseudomonas (12.6-23.6%) dominated in all epiphytic biofilm samples, which had the heavy metal pollutant resistibility. The contents of Cr in biofilms (7.4-8.3 mg/kg, DW) were significantly higher than those in leaves (1.0-2.4 mg/kg, DW), while the contents of Cu (11.0-13.9 mg/kg, DW) in leaves were significantly higher than those in biofilms (0.7-3.9 mg/kg, DW) in all the three sites. The BCF values of metals in the biofilm were followed the order of YF < IC < ETS. The results indicated that the epiphytic biofilm had positive effects on the metal bioaccumulation, and the metal accumulation ability increased with the hydrodynamic forces. Bioaccumulation by the epiphytic biofilm may be an effective way for metal (especially Cr) remediation.

Abstract
Nitrogen pollution of surface water is the main cause of water eutrophication, and is considered a worldwide challenge in surface water treatment. Currently, the total nitrogen (TN) content in the effluent of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is still high at low winter temperatures, mainly as a result of the incomplete removal of nitrate (NO3−-N). In this research, a novel aerobic denitrifier identified as Pseudomonas sp. 41 was isolated from municipal activated sludge; this strain could rapidly degrade a high concentration of NO3−-N at low temperature. Strain 41 completely converted 100 mg/L NO3−-N in 48 h at 15 °C, and the maximum removal rate reached 4.0 mg/L/h. The functional genes napA, nirS, norB and nosZ were successfully amplified, which provided a theoretical support for the aerobic denitrification capacity of strain 41. In particular, the results of denitrification experiments showed that strain 41 could perform aerobic denitrification under the catalysis of NAP. Nitrogen balance analysis revealed that strain 41 degraded NO3−-N mainly through assimilation (52.35%) and aerobic denitrification (44.02%), and combined with the gene amplification results, the nitrate metabolism pathway of strain 41 was proposed. Single-factor experiments confirmed that strain 41 possessed the best nitrogen removal performance under the conditions of sodium citrate as carbon source, C/N ratio 10, pH 8, temperature 15–30 °C and rotation speed 120 rpm. Meanwhile, the bioaugmentation test manifested that the immobilized strain 41 remarkably improved the denitrification efficiency and shortened the reaction time in the treatment of synthetic wastewater.

Abstract
The long start-up period is a major challenging issue for the widespread application of aerobic granular sludge (AGS). In this study, a novel rapid start-up strategy was developed by inoculating Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P. chrysosporium) pellets as the induced nucleus in a sequencing batch airlift reactor (SBAR) to enhance activated sludge granulation. The results demonstrated that P. chrysosporium pellets could effectively shorten the aerobic granulation time from 32 to 20 days. The AGS promoted by P. chrysosporium pellets had a larger average diameter (2.60-2.74 mm) than that without P. chrysosporium pellets (1.78-1.88 mm) and had better biomass retention capacity and sedimentation properties; its mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and sludge volume index (SVI30) reached approximately 5.2 g/L and 45 mL/g, respectively. The addition of P. chrysosporium pellets promoted the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), especially protein (PN). The removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) in P. chrysosporium pellets reactor were 98.91%, 89.17%, 64.73%, and 94.42%, respectively, which were higher than those in the reactor without P. chrysosporium pellets (88.73%, 82.09%, 55.75%, and 88.92%). High throughput sequencing analysis indicated that several functional genera that were responsible for the formation of aerobic granules and the removal of pollutants, such as Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Janthinobacterium, and Enterobacter, were found to be predominant in the mature sludge granules promoted by P. chrysosporium pellets.

Highly Efficient Removal of Nitrate and Phosphate to Control Eutrophication by the Dielectrophoresis-Assisted Adsorption Method.

Abstract
The removal of excessive amounts of nitrate and phosphate from water sources, especially agricultural wastewater, has been of high significance to control eutrophication in aquatic systems. Here, a new method is reported for the removal of nitrate and phosphate simultaneously from wastewater based on the combination of the solution-phased adsorption (ADS) and dielectrophoresis (DEP) techniques. The plant ash was first selected as the adsorbent by screening tests, followed by a systematic investigation of using the adsorbent to remove nitrate and phosphate from wastewater under various experimental conditions, including the testing of adsorbent dosage, pretreatment time, water flow rate, and electrode voltage. The analysis of the adsorbent particles was also performed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) test, and the measurement of Zeta potentials. Compared with the ADS method alone, the introduction of DEP into the purification process has greatly increased the removal rate by 66.06% for nitrate and 43.04% for phosphate, respectively. In the meantime, it is observed that the processing time has been greatly reduced by 92% with the assistance of DEP.

Abstract
Traditional nitrogen removal relies on the autotrophic nitrification and anaerobic denitrification process. In the system, autotrophic microorganisms achieve nitrification under aerobic condition and heterotrophic microorganisms complete the denitrification in anaerobic condition. As the two types of microorganisms have different tolerance on oxygen concentration, nitrification and denitrification are normally set in two compartments for high nitrogen removal. Therefore, large land occupying is required. In fact, there is a special type of microorganism called heterotrophic nitrification & aerobic denitrification microorganisms (HNADMs) which can oxidize ammonium nitrogen, and perform denitrification in the presence of oxygen. HNADMs have been reported in many environments. It was found that HNADMs could simultaneously achieve nitrification and denitrification. In addition, some HNADMs not only have the ability to remove nitrogen, but also have the ability to remove phosphorus. It suggests that HNADMs have great potential for pollution removal from wastewater. So far, individual work on single strain was carried out. Comprehensive summary of the HNADMs would provide a better picture for understanding and directing its application. In this paper, the studies related on HNADMs were reviewed. The nitrogen metabolism pathway of HNADMs was summarized. The impact of pH, DO, carbon source, and C/N on HNADMs growth and metabolism were discussed. In addition, the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) production, quorum sensing (QS) secretion and P removal by HNADMs were displayed.

Abstract
The biological process to remove nitrogen in winter effluent is often seriously compromised due to the effect of low temperatures (< 13 °C) on the metabolic activity of microorganisms. In this study, a novel heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying bacterium with cold tolerance was isolated by iterative domestication and named Moraxella sp. LT-01. The LT-01 maintained almost 60% of its maximal growth activity at 10 °C. Under initial concentrations of 100 mg/L, the removal efficiencies of ammonium, nitrate, nitrite by LT-01 were 70.3%, 65.4%, 61.7% respectively for 72 h incubation at 10 °C. Nitrogen balance analysis showed that about 46% of TN was released as gases and 16% of TN was assimilated for cell growth. The biomarker genes involved in nitrification and denitrification pathways were identified by gene-specific PCR and revealed that the LT-01 has nitrite reductase (NirS) but not hydroxylamine reductase (HAO), which implies the involvement of other genes in the process. The study indicates that LT-01 has the potential for use in low-temperature regions for efficient sewage treatment.

Results showed that strain TSH1 could remove approximately 96.6% of NH4+-N, 82.9% of NO2--N and 98.7% of NO3--N in 24 h, and the corresponding maximum removal rates were 3.64 mg-N/(L·h), 1.77 mg-N/(L·h) and 3.94 mg-N/(L·h). The nitrogen balance analysis indicated that most of NH4+-N (62.6%) and NO3--N (71.9%) were transformed to gaseous nitrogen. The kinetic experiments showed that strain TSH1 had a high Km of 151.64 mg-NH4+-N/L and 203.25 mg-NO3--N/L. The enhanced biological treatment of synthetic wastewater in MBR showed that the strain TSH1 can significantly improve the nitrogen removal efficiency.

Multi-metabolism regulation insights into nutrients removal performance with adding heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification bacteria in tidal flow constructed wetlands. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 796:149023. [PMID: 34280639 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2021] [Revised: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 07/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Constructed wetlands (CWs) usually exhibit limits in functional redundancy and diversity of microbial community contributing to lower performances of nutrients removal in decentralized domestic sewage treatment. To address this quandary, heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) bacteria was added in tidal flow CWs (TFCWs) developing for nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) removal. With addition of HN-AD bacteria, TFCWs could be setup more rapidly and obtained better removal efficiencies of 66.9%-70.1% total nitrogen (TN), and 88.2%-92.4% total phosphorus (TP) comparing with control systems (TN: 53.9%; TP: 83.9%) during stable operation. Typical-cycles variations showed that TFCWs with addition of HN-AD bacteria promoted NO3--N and NH4+-N removal respectively under hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 14 h and 8 h with slight NO2--N accumulation. Activated alumina (AA) coupled with HN-AD bacteria decreased P release and relieved its poor removal performance in CWs. Based on metagenomic taxa and functional annotation, Pseudomonas and Thauera played pivotal roles in N removal in TFCWs. Furthermore, gradient oxic environments by 8 h-HRT promoted co-occurrence of heterotrophic nitrifiers (mostly Pseudomonas stutzeri) and autotrophic nitrifiers (mostly Nitrosomonas europaea. and Nitrospira sp.) which potentially accelerated NH4+-N transformation by elevated nitrification and denitrification related genes (e. g. amoABC, hao, napA and nirS genes). Meanwhile, the addition of HN-AD bacteria stimulated nirA and gltD genes of N assimilation processes probably leading to NH4+-N directly removal. The conceptual model of multi-metabolism regulation by HN-AD process highlighted importance of glk, gap2 and PK genes in glycolysis pathway which were vital drivers to nutrients metabolism. Overall, this study provides insights into how ongoing HN-AD bacteria-addition effected microbial consortia and metabolic pathways, serving theoretical basis for its engineered applications of TFCWs in decentralized domestic sewage treatment.

Abstract
Efficient halotolerant phosphorus accumulation microorganisms are of great significance for the treatment of high-salt wastewater. In this study, a halotolerant fungus strain named MSP8 was isolated and identified as Aureobasidium sp. Salinity resistance results showed that strain MSP8 can resist the salinity from 0% to 17%, and 77.2% phosphorus removal was achieved at the optimal salinity of 5%. The strain also showed wide environmental adaptability (pH of 3-7; temperature of 20-30 °C). Batch tests and scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) characterization results verified the key role of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) secreted by MSP8 in phosphorus removal. The actual brewery and chemical wastewater treatments exhibited that above 53.5% of phosphorus can be removed by MSP8. The excellent adaptation of MSP8 made it a potential candidate for phosphorus removal especially in saline wastewater treatment.
