CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 358:142136. [PMID: 38692363 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142136] [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: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
The soil-water interface is replete with photic biofilm and iron minerals; however, the potential of how iron minerals promote biotic nitrate removal is still unknown. This study investigates the physiological and ecological responses of photic biofilm to hematite (Fe2O3), in order to explore a practically feasible approach for in-situ nitrate removal. The nitrate removal by photic biofilm was significantly higher in the presence of Fe2O3 (92.5%) compared to the control (82.8%). Results show that the presence of Fe2O3 changed the microbial community composition of the photic biofilm, facilitates the thriving of Magnetospirillum and Pseudomonas, and promotes the growth of photic biofilm represented by the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) and the content of chlorophyll. The presence of Fe2O3 also induces oxidative stress (•O2-) in the photic biofilm, which was demonstrated by electron spin resonance spectrometry. However, the photic biofilm could improve the EPS productivity to prevent the entrance of Fe2O3 to cells in the biofilm matrix and mitigate oxidative stress. The Fe2O3 then promoted the relative abundance of Magnetospirillum and Pseudomonas and the activity of nitrate reductase, which accelerates nitrate reduction by the photic biofilm. This study provides an insight into the interaction between iron minerals and photic biofilm and demonstrates the possibility of combining biotic and abiotic methods to improve the in-situ nitrate removal rate.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 348:119320. [PMID: 37839205 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
Microbial driven coupled processes between denitrification and methane/sulfur metabolism play a very substantial role in accelerating nitrogen removal in river sediments. Until now, little is known about how element coupling processes alter nitrogen metabolism by the microbial functional communities. The primary objective of this research was to clarify the contributory role of microbial-mediated coupled processes in controlling denitrification. Specifically, the study sought to identify the key bioindicators (or metabolic pathway) for preferably regulating and predicting potential denitrification rate (PDR). Here, a total of 40 sediment samples were collected from the inflow rivers of Chaohu Lake under nitrogen stress. The results revealed the ecological importance of methanogens and sulfate reducing bacteria in the microbial interaction network. Correlations between quantitative or predicted genes showed that the methanogenic gene (mcrA) was synergistic with denitrifying genes, further unraveling that the key role of methanogenesis in denitrification process for facilitating nitrogen removal. The PDR of sediments ranged from 0.03 to 133.21 μg N·g-1·h-1. The study uncovered specific environmental factors (NH4+ and OM) and microbial indicators (nosZ, mcrA, Paracoccus, Thauera, Methanobrevibacter and Desulfomicrobium) as potential contributors to the variations in PDR. Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis revealed a significant direct effect of NH4+ on PDR, evidenced by a standardized coefficient (λ) of 0.77 (P < 0.001). Additionally, the findings also emphasized the salient role of methanogens (Methanobrevibacter) and methanogenic gene (mcrA) in indicating PDR. The research's aforementioned findings shed light on the substantial consequences of methanogenesis on nitrogen metabolism in coupled processes, enabling improved control of nitrogen pollution in river sediments. This study provided fresh perspectives on the effects of multiple functional taxa on denitrification, and reinforces the significance of coupling processes for nitrogen removal.

Abstract
Coastal wetlands (CW) are the junction of the terrestrial and marine ecosystems and have special ecological compositions and functions, which are important for maintaining biogeochemical cycles. Microorganisms inhabiting in sediments play key roles in the material cycle of CW. Due to the variable environment of CW and the fact that most CW are affected by human activities and climate change, CW are severely degraded. In-depth understanding of the community structure, function, and environmental potential of microorganisms in CW sediments is essential for wetland restoration and function enhancement. Therefore, this paper summarizes microbial community structure and its influencing factors, discusses the change patterns of microbial functional genes, reveals the potential environmental functions of microorganisms, and further proposes future prospects about CW studies. These results provide some important references for promoting the application of microorganisms in material cycling and pollution remediation of CW.

Abstract
Microorganisms play essential roles in nutrient removal and biogeochemical cycling during wastewater treatment. However, little is known about the main roles of key functional bacterial communities in wastewater treatment processes. We collected 18 water samples and 15 sediment samples from the six operational subsystems of the constructed wetland, among which the contact oxidation pond, enhanced hybrid biofilm reactor, and central stabilization pond are the main wastewater treatment units in the constructed wetland, and then investigated the bacterial communities using 16S rRNA gene targeting and sequencing to address this knowledge gap. The results indicated that the composition of the bacterial community is closely related to the efficiency of pollutant removal. The abundant carbon metabolism function increased the removal of nitrate‑nitrogen (NO3--N) and total nitrogen (TN) by the contact oxidation pond by 89.84 % and 38.91 %, respectively. The overlap of ecological niches and the presence of pathogenic bacteria substantially affect effluent wastewater treatment. Second, NO3--N (p < 0.001) was the most important factor driving the bacterial community composition in water and sediments. Furthermore, the positive structure was prevalent in the cooccurrence network of water samples (87.24 %) and sediments (76.53 %) of the wetland, and this positive structure with keystone species was critical for the adaptation of the bacterial community to environmental filtration. In summary, this study reveals the distribution patterns of bacterial communities in different wastewater treatment processes and their driving factors and provides new perspectives on the link between the bacterial community composition and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Crude oil pollution can profoundly alter the nitrogen (N) cycle in the soil. Here, a 30-day incubation with 15N tracer approach was performed to assess the impacts of crude oil concentrations (medium: 10,000 mg kg-1; heavy: 50,000 mg kg-1) on soil N cycling based on a numerical model. Results showed that crude oil pollution significantly increased the gross N-transformation rates, but the rates of oxidation of recalcitrant organic N, the immbolization of NO3- and the adsorption of NH4+ changed differently as a function of hydrocarbon concentrations. There was no significant difference of the oxidation rate of recalcitrant organic N between the medium and heavy oil-contaminated soils (medium: 0.1149 mmol N kg-1 d-1; heavy: 0.1299 mmol N kg-1 d-1), but the rates of NO3- immobilization (0.1135 mmol N kg-1 d-1) and NH4+ adsorption were the highest (0.1148 mmol N kg-1 d-1) in the moderately oil-contaminated soils than those in the heavy polluted soil (0.0849 mmol N kg-1 d-1 and 0.0034 mmol N kg-1 d-1, respectively). The NO3- immobilization rate was 2.5-fold higher than its reduction rate, indicating that NO3- immobilization played a more important role during the process of NO3- transformation. Microbial community structure analysis indicated that phyla of Actinobacteria and Ascomycota respectively promoted the immobilization of NO3- to recalcitrant organic N and the reduction of NO3- to NH4+. The genus of Aspergillus was related to net NH4+ production, and the genera of Penicillium and Acremonium were responsible for oxidation of recalcitrant organic N to NO3-.

Abstract
The combination of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) with constructed wetlands (CWs) for enhancing water purification efficiency and generating bioelectricity has attracted extensive attention. However, the other benefits of MFC-CWs are seldom reported, especially the potential for controlling gaseous emissions. In this study, we have quantitatively compared the pollutant removal efficiency and the emission of multiple gases between MFC-CWs and batch-fed wetland systems (BF CWs). MFC-CWs exhibited significantly (p < 0.01) higher COD, NH4+-N, TN, and TP removal efficiencies and significantly (p < 0.01) lower global warming potential (GWP) than BF CWs. The integration of MFC decreased GWP by 23.88% due to the reduction of CH4 and N2O fluxes, whereas the CO2 fluxes were slightly promoted. The quantitative PCR results indicate that the reduced N2O fluxes in MFC-CWs were driven by the reduced transcription of the nosZ gene and enhanced the ratio of nosZ/(nirS + nirK); the reduced CH4 fluxes were related to pomA and mcrA. Additionally, the NH3 fluxes were reduced by 52.20% in MFC-CWs compared to BF CWs. The integration of MFC promoted the diversity of microbial community, especially Anaerolineaceae, Saprospiraceae and Clostridiacea. This study highlights a further benefit of MFC-CWs and provides a new strategy for simultaneously removing pollutants and abating multiple gas emissions in BF CWs.

Abstract
Conversion of coastal mudflats into paddy soils is an effective measure to alleviate the pressures on land resources. However, few studies have evaluated the effects of nitrogen (N) fertilizers on bacterial communities in newly reclaimed mudflat paddy soils. We performed a field plot experiment with six N fertilizer rates (0, 210, 255, 300, 345, and 390 kg N ha-1) in a newly reclaimed mudflat paddy for 2 consecutive years and used Illumina sequencing and qPCR to investigate the effects of N fertilizers on bacterial communities and N-cycling genes. Results showed that high N fertilization (above 300 kg N ha-1) increased the contents of organic matter (OM), total N (TN), ammonium (NH4+), and nitrate (NO3-) and significantly decreased the diversity and richness of bacteria. Furthermore, high N fertilization had a stronger effect on bacterial communities than low N fertilization, probably due to high concentrations of NH4+, OM, and NO3-. Additionally, in paddy soils with high N fertilizer application, the relative abundances of Bacteroidetes, γ-proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria increased significantly, but the reverse was true for those of Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, δ-proteobacteria, α-proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and β-proteobacteria. The results of qPCR indicated that high N fertilization significantly increased the relative abundance of nifH genes involved in N fixation and decreased that of amoA-archaea involved in ammonia oxidation, nirS genes involved in nitrite reduction, and nosZ genes involved in nitrous oxide reduction, which suggested that high N fertilization increased the potential of available N retention and reduced the potential of nitrous oxide emission. Overall, N fertilizers with an N fertilizer rate of above 300 kg N ha-1 significantly altered the bacterial communities and N-cycle of mudflat paddy soils.

Abstract
Constructed wetlands (CWs) can remove nitrogen (N) through plant assimilation and microbial nitrification and denitrification, while it also releases large greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) into the atmosphere. However, N2O emissions and the underlying microbial mechanisms of CWs when treating high-strength wastewater have not been systematically surveyed. Here, the effect of three influent strengths on N2O emissions in a pilot-scale CW treatment of swine wastewater was determined and the underlying microbial mechanisms were explored. The results showed that the removal rates of ammonium (NH4+) and total nitrogen (TN) increased significantly with the increasing influent strengths, however, the ratio of N2O emission/TN removal rose by 1.5 times at the same time. Quantitation of microorganisms responsible for N-cycle in the sediment indicated that the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in high influent strengths (COD, 962.38 ± 3.05 mg/L; NH4+, 317.89 ± 4.24 mg/L) was 51.6-fold compared with that in low influent strengths (COD, 516.94 ± 4.18 mg/L; NH4+, 100.65 ± 2.65), and AOB gradually replaced ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) to dominate ammonia oxidizers. Structural equation models demonstrated that NO2- accumulations promoted the ratio of AOB/AOA, which further led to an increase in the ratio of N2O emission/TN removal. It is worth noting both the N removal rates and N2O emissions increased with the increasing influent strength. To obtain reduced N2O emissions, pretreatment technology for strength reduction should be supplemented before high-strength wastewater enters the CWs. This study may shed new light on the sustainable operation and application of CWs.

Abstract
The regulating ecosystem services, such as water purification, that tidal flats provide by nitrogen (N) burial are being increasingly recognized; yet, quantitative estimates remain limited. Here, we first present nationwide evaluation of total N stocks and burial rates in the Korean tidal flats, based on a 3 year long monitoring assessment combined with remote sensing approach. A total of 20 intertidal flats representing 7 provinces of South Korea were extensively surveyed in 2018-20. The sediment textural type (sand, mixed, and mud) classified from remotely sensed imagery was significantly correlated to that identified from field data (p < 0.01), warranting a nationwide estimate of total N stocks. The estimated total N stocks and burial rates in the tidal flats of Korea were 1.5 Tg N and 8,192 Mg N yr-1, respectively. Total N stocks significantly varied by region, province, morphology, salinity, and land use type adjacent to the corresponding tidal flats. In general, the N stocks of tidal flats were influenced by the degree of terrestrial N inputs to the ocean. The N stocks were significantly correlated with several physical parameters, such as precipitation (p < 0.05) and tide (p < 0.01). Among the sediment properties, the mud content was found to be the key factor determining the total N stocks across the 20 intertidal flats (p < 0.01). Finally, by applying the environmental value for N removal (USD km-2 yr-1) to the tidal flat area (km2), the economic value of the total N removal was estimated as ~233 Million USD yr-1 in Korea and ~15 Billion USD yr-1 globally. Overall, the present work confirms the valuable ecosystem service of tidal flat's cost-efficient N removal capacity, highlighting marine ecosystem service.

Wang J, Guo X, Li Y, Song G, Zhao L. Understanding the Variation of Bacteria in Response to Summertime Oxygen Depletion in Water Column of Bohai Sea. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:890973. [PMID: 35756048 PMCID: PMC9221365 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.890973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Aiming to reveal the variation in bacteria community under oxygen depletion formed every summer in water column of central Bohai Sea, a time-scenario sampling from June to August in 2018 at a 20-day interval along one inshore-offshore transect was settled. Water samples were collected at the surface, middle, and bottom layer and then analyzed by high-throughput sequencing targeting both 16S rRNA and nosZ genes. Compared to the surface and middle water, oxygen depletion occurred at bottom layer in August. In top two layers, Cyanobacteria dominated the bacterial community, whereas heterotrophic bacteria became dominant in bottom water of Bohai Sea. Based on the time scenario, distinct community separation was observed before (June and July) and after (August) oxygen depletion (p = 0.003). Vertically, strict stratification of nosZ gene was stably formed along 3 sampling layers. As a response to oxygen depletion, the diversity indices of both total bacteria (16S rRNA) and nosZ gene-encoded denitrification bacteria all increased, which indicated the intense potential of nitrogen lose when oxygen depleted. Dissolved oxygen (DO) was the key impacting factor on the community composition of total bacteria in June, whereas nutrients together with DO play the important roles in August for both total and denitrifying bacteria. The biotic impact was revealed further by strong correlations which showed between Cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria in June from co-occurrence network analysis, which became weak in August when DO was depleted. This study discovered the variation in bacteria community in oxygen-depleted water with further effort to understand the potential role of denitrifying bacteria under oxygen depletion in Bohai Sea for the first time, which provided insights into the microbial response to the world-wide expanding oxygen depletion and their contributions in the ocean nitrogen cycling.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 207:112182. [PMID: 34648762 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.112182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Revised: 10/02/2021] [Accepted: 10/03/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Microplastics are frequently detected in natural aquatic systems proximate to populated areas, such as urban rivers and lakes, and can be rapidly colonized by microbial communities. Microplastics and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) share similar pathways into natural waters and tend to form heteroaggregations. However, very little is known about the long-term impacts on the structure and function of microplastic biofilms when chronically exposed to silver nanoparticles. Thus, the present study assessed the accumulation property of AgNPs on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microplastics via adsorption tests and studied the chronic effects of AgNPs on the structure and function of microplastic biofilms via 30-day microcosmic experiments in eutrophic water. The adsorption tests showed that the biofilms-colonized PMMA microplastics presented the highest adsorption of 0.98 mg/g in the 1 mg/L AgNPs microcosms. After the 30-day exposure, lactic dehydrogenase release and reactive oxygen species generation of PMMA biofilms increased by 33.23% and 23.98% compared to the MPs-control group with no-AgNPs, indicating that the number of dead cells colonizing microplastics significantly increased. Network analysis suggested that the stabilization of the bacterial community declined with the long-term exposure to AgNPs through the reduction of the modularity and average path length of the network. Compared to the MPs-control group, long-term exposure to AgNPs caused cumulatively inhibitory effects on the nitrogen removal and the N2O emissions in eutrophic water. The isotopomer analysis revealed that the contribution rate of NO2- reduction to N2O emissions was gradually increasing with the AgNPs exposure. Real-time PCR analysis showed that denitrification genes were less sensitive to AgNPs than the nitrification genes, with gene nosZ performed the most negligible response. Overall, our results revealed that long-term exposure to AgNPs could alter biogeochemical cycling involved by microplastic biofilms and cumulatively reduce the self-recovery of the eutrophic ecosystem.

Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) is marginal relative to denitrification in emerging-eroding wetlands in a subtropical oligohaline and eutrophic coastal delta. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 819:152942. [PMID: 35007602 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.152942] [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: 10/15/2021] [Revised: 12/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Nitrate (NO3-) and ammonium (NH4+) are reactive nitrogen (Nr) forms that can exacerbate eutrophication in coastal regions. NO3- can be lost to the atmosphere as N2 gas driven by direct denitrification, coupled nitrification-denitrification and annamox or retained within the ecosystems through conversion of NO3- to NH4+ via dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA). Denitrification and DNRA are competitive pathways and hence it is critical to evaluate their functional biogeochemical role. However, there is limited information about the environmental factors driving DNRA in oligohaline habitats, especially within deltaic regions where steep salinity gradients define wetland spatiotemporal distribution. Here we use the Isotope Pairing Technique to evaluate the effect of temperature (10, 20, 30 °C) and in situ soil/sediment organic matter (OM%) on total denitrification (Dtotal = direct + coupled nitrification) and DNRA rates in oligohaline forested/marsh wetlands soils and benthic sediment habitats at two sites representing prograding (Wax Lake Delta, WLD) and eroding (Barataria- Lake Cataouatche, BLC) deltaic stages in the Mississippi River Delta Plain (MRDP). Both sites receive MR water with high NO3- (>40 μM) concentrations during the year via river diversions. Denitrification rates were significantly higher (range: 18.0 ± 0.4-113.0 ± 10.6 μmol m-2 h-1) than DNRA rates (range: 0.7 ± 0.2-9.2 ± 0.3 μmol m-2 h-1). Therefore, DNRA represented on average < 10% of the total NO3- reduction (DNRA + Dtotal). Unlike denitrification, DNRA showed no consistent response to temperature. These results indicate that DNRA in wetland soils and benthic sediment is not a major nitrogen transformation in oligohaline regions across the MRDP regardless of wide range of OM% content in these eroding and prograding delta lobes.

Abstract
Hydrology and salinity regimes of many impounded wetlands are manipulated to provide seasonal habitats for migratory waterfowl, with little-known consequences for ecosystem structure and function. Managed hydrology can alter ecosystems by directly changing soil properties and processes and by influencing plant community dynamics. Additionally, management history may influence ecosystem response to disturbance, including fires. To better understand how wetland management regime influences ecosystem response to disturbance, we quantified elevation, soil nitrogen concentrations and process rates, and plant community structure and diversity in a natural experiment following the 2018 Branscombe Fire. We measured paired burned-unburned patches in both tidally-influenced and managed, seasonally-impounded wetlands in Suisun Marsh, California, USA. Unburned ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling differed by wetland management history; unburned impounded wetlands were ∼1 m lower in elevation and plant community composition was dominated by succulents whereas the unburned tidal wetland was dominated by graminoids. Unburned impounded wetland soil nitrogen cycling (potential nitrification and denitrification) rates were <28% of those measured in unburned tidal wetland soils and soil extractable nitrate, ammonium, and dissolved inorganic phosphorus concentrations were also substantially lower in unburned impounded than unburned tidal wetlands. Despite these differences in pre-disturbance (i.e., unburned) conditions, all soil processes recovered to baseline levels within 6 months after surface fire, and we found no evidence of plant community change 1 year after fire in either wetland management type. Overall, water management history exerted stronger control on ecosystem processes and structure than surface fire disturbance. Low extractable soil nitrate and potential denitrification rates may indicate limitation of soil nitrogen removal in impounded wetlands, with implications for downstream environmental quality and eutrophication across managed landscapes.

Abstract
Shallow lakes are considered important contributors to emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas, in aquatic ecosystems. There is a large degree of uncertainty regarding the relationship between N2O emissions and the progress of lake eutrophication, and the mechanisms underlying N2O emissions are poorly understood. Here, N2O emission fluxes and environmental variables in different lakes along a trophic state gradient in the Yangtze River basin were studied. N2O emission fluxes were -1.0-53.0 μg m-2 h-1 and 0.4-102.9 μg m-2 h-1 in summer and winter, respectively, indicating that there was marked variation in N2O emissions among lakes of different trophic state. The non-linear exponential model explained differences in N2O emission fluxes by the degree of eutrophication (p < 0.01). TN and chl-a both predicted 86% of the N2O emission fluxes in shallow lakes. The predicted N2O emission fluxes based on the IPCC EF5r overestimated the observed fluxes, particularly those in hyper-eutrophic lakes. These findings demonstrated that nutrient-rich conditions and algal accumulation are key factors determining N2O emission fluxes in shallow lakes. Furthermore, this study also revealed that temperature and algae accumulation-decomposition determine an N2O emission flux in an intricate manner. A low temperature, i.e., winter, limits algae growth and low oxygen consumption for algae decomposition. The environment leaves a high dissolved oxygen concentration, slowing down N2O consumption as the final step of denitrification. In summer, with the oxygen consumed by excess algal decomposition, the N2O production is limited by the complete denitrification as well as the limited substrate supply of nitrate by nitrification in hypoxic or anoxic conditions. Such cascading events explained the higher N2O emission fluxes from shallow lakes in winter compared with summer. This trend was amplified in hyper-eutrophic shallow lakes after algal disappearance. Collectively, algal accumulation played a dual role in stimulating and impeding N2O emissions, especially in hyper-eutrophic lakes. This study expands our knowledge of N2O emissions from shallow lakes in which eutrophication is underway.

Abstract
Little is known about the response of the soil microbiome (including bacteria in the rhizosphere of legumes such as clover) to mercury (Hg) despite the toxicity of Hg to soil microorganisms. Here, Hg-contaminated soils collected from Guizhou province, southwest China, were divided into three groups according to their Hg contents and were planted with clover. High-throughput sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA and nitrogenase (nifH) genes and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were used to study the response of bacteria and diazotrophs to soil Hg stress and the effects of Hg on the abundance of functional genes in rhizosphere soils. High concentrations of soil Hg decreased bacterial community abundance and diversity and increased the abundance and diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. LEfSe analysis indicates that Rhizobium was a biomarker at sites with high soil Hg contents and the co-occurrence network results indicate a positive relationship between the abundance of the dominant module (from the co-occurrence network analysis) of Rhizobiaceae and soil Hg concentration. Structural equation modeling (SEM) indicates that the Hg content in the clover shoots (ShootHg) was negatively correlated with the abundance of the mercury reductase (merA) gene (r = -0.26, P < 0.05) and the organomercury lyase (merB) gene (r = -0.23, P < 0.05) in rhizosphere soils. Moreover, correlation analysis and SEM indicate that soil total nitrogen (TN), nitrate‑nitrogen (NO3-N), soil organic matter (SOM), and available molybdenum (Mo) contents were also important factors affecting the structure of the microbial community and the abundance of functional genes. The results provide a basis for further study of the mechanism(s) by which microorganisms may impart tolerance of clover to Hg in contaminated soils.

Abstract
Floating treatment wetland (FTW) in restoration of low C/N ratio wastewater was deemed to a frequently used method. However, the nitrate removal performance in floating beds was limited due to insufficient organic carbon sources. Iron scraps as a potential electron donor was beneficial to the NO3--N reduction. To research the removal performance and mechanism of denitrification in FTW with iron scraps, FTW with Iris pseudacorus was built, and iron scraps were added as an electron donor to improve nitrogen removal efficiency. The batch experimental results demonstrated that the proper mass ratio of iron scraps to NO3--N was 500:1. With iron scraps, the NO3--N removal efficiency of FTW and control system increased significantly to 98.04% and 44.42% respectively in 2 weeks, while there was no obvious influence on the removal of NH4+-N. After adding iron scraps, the proportion of bacteria in the systems related to iron cycle and the relative abundance of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria have increased obviously. By calculating the nitrogen balance, nitrogen reduction via plant uptake accounted for 8.79%, and the microbial denitrification was the main nitrogen removal pathway in FTW.

Abstract
The river-riparian interface plays an important role in removal of nitrogen pollution. Many revetments have been built in urban riparian zones, which has affected soil denitrification function of river-riparian interface. However, the impacts of revetments on denitrifying communities of soil in the river-riparian interface are still unclear. In this study, in the case of eliminating the influence of plants, three modes of revetments (No Revetments (NR), Impervious Masonry Revetments (IR), and Permeable Concrete Imitation Pile Revetments (PR)) were employed to determine the influence of revetments on denitrifying communities of soil among three distances from revetments (1.0, 0.6 and 0.3 m). It was shown in comparison with IR and NR, PR promoted the abundance, diversity and relative abundance of major strains in nirS and nirK denitrifying bacteria (P < 0.05), but these effects decreased as distances increased. Compared with the IR (2.95 ± 1.15 × 105 copies g-1) and NR (4.13 ± 2.14 × 105 copies g-1), abundances of nirK denitrifying bacteria adjacent to PR (6.19 ± 1.89 × 105 copies g-1) were significantly higher (P < 0.05). Rubrivivax and Bradyrhizobium were the dominant bacterial genera, accounting for 16.02-23.94% and 29.25%-38.25% of nirS- and nirK- denitrifying bacteria, respectively. SOC and nitrogen availability were the primary factors which influence the gene richness of nirK and nirS, while soil bulk density, sand content and WFPS as the major elements were impacting compositions of nirK and nirS communities. The results will improve the comprehension of theoretical process of denitrification affected by revetment types.

Abstract
To explore the geographical variations in the nosZ-denitrifier community and the underlying influential factors, surface sediments were collected from six mangroves across China, including Yunxiao (YX), Futian (FT), Fangchenggang (FCG), Zhanjiang (ZJ), Dongzhaigang (DZG), and Dongfang (DF). The nosZ gene abundance in mangrove sediments were 1.60 × 105-1.17 × 106 copies g-1 dry sediment, with a higher density in Avicennia marina forest than the mudflat. Denitrifier community richness and diversity increased with decreasing latitude based on the Chao1 richness and Shannon diversity index, with the highest diversity being observed in the DF mangrove. The denitrifier communities could be classified into three groups including south DF mangrove, middle FCG, ZJ and DZG mangroves, and north YX and FT mangroves based on HCA and PCoA analysis. The nosZ OTUs could be divided into seven distinct clusters with different proportionality characteristics among mangroves. Environmental factors (TN, TOC, and salinity) collectively shape denitrifier communities in mangrove sediments.

Crude oil could affect certain critical microbial processes of nitrogen cycling (N-cycling) in coastal sediments, and disturb the nitrogen balance. However, the understanding of the effects of crude oil on coastal sediments N-cycling under human disturbance was still limited. In this study, two sediments (named SY and HB with heavy and slight pollution, respectively) were sampled from Hangzhou Bay, China. After an incubation with exposure to different amounts of crude oil in above two sediments for 30 days, we found that crude oil affected microbial N-cycling in multiple levels. Potential rate measurements revealed that crude oil stimulated potential denitrification and N2O emissions in both sediments, which showed a higher influence on denitrification rates in higher concentration of oil. Quantitative PCR revealed that crude oil greatly increased abundances of bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA genes and N-cycling genes (nirS, nosZ, nrfA, part of AOA and AOB amoA). On the other hand, only a few genes (16S rRNA and nrfA) showed higher transcriptional activities in oil-addition treatments. Results about relative changes of N-cycling genes revealed that the variations of N-cycling genes in oil-addition treatments were related to sediment types but not crude oil concentrations, and the genes in HB were more sensitive to crude oil than SY. Network analysis of N-cycling genes found that crude oil decreased the complexity of N-cycling gene networks in SY, while increased complexity in HB, and led to more competition among N-cycling microbes. Our findings help to look into the effects of crude oil on key N-cycling processes, and improve the understanding of the interactions among N-cycling under crude oil contamination.

Abstract
The irresponsible and uncontrolled use of water bodies for long period of time leads to pollution and water quality degradation, particularly in sensitive protected terrestrial and aquatic areas as lakes and wetlands situated in the vicinity of human habitations. Vulnerable ecosystems, the Lake Zobnatica, Serbia and the Wetlands of Tompojevci, Croatia, are characterized as protected natural areas and are surrounded by agricultural land and developed anthropogenic activities. In the samples of surface, ground water and agricultural runoff the key physicochemical parameters were determined. The results of analysed water characterized the Lake water quality class as IV-V. The measured parameters for the Lake show the high values of nutrients, particularly in ground water and agricultural runoff, pH value higher than 8.5 and lower values of dissolved oxygen (DO) than 5 mg/L in the most of the examined water samples. According to the results and maximal allowable values Wetlands belong to the class V water quality, with high trophic state and poor eco-status according to Croatian and Serbian national Laws and By-Laws. The pH value higher than 8.5 of ground water in Wetlands of Tompojevci signifies alkaline groundwater. The maximum concentrations of orthophosphates in ground water and agricultural runoff (10.875 and 10.886 mg/L, respectively) imply the high level of agricultural pollution. Research study of water samples has been performed from 2017 to 2019 within the Interreg IPA CBC Croatia-Serbia Project AF_HR-RS135_SeNs_Wetlands. This type of parallel and comparative research in Serbia and Croatia was conducted for the first time.

Abstract
Recent increases in the frequency of extreme floods and droughts associated with climate change can affect fluctuating groundwater or wetland water levels and wetland plant growth, and consequently cause redox condition changes in nitrogen dynamics in wetland sediments. Here, we studied the fate of nitrate (NO3-), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and the microbial characteristics at different sediment depths in response to water levels (i.e., 5 or 2.5 cm) above the sediment surface and in the presence or absence of plants (Phragmites communis Trin) for four months in three wetland mesocosms. Results showed that mesocosm A (MA) with a high water level (5 cm above the surface) and plants had significantly higher DOC concentrations (17.57 ± 8.22 mg/L) in sediment that were actively consumed by microorganisms than other mesocosms with low water level (MB) and without plant (MC) (8.77 ± 2.38 mg/L and 7.87 ± 2.72 mg/L in MB and MC, respectively). Consequently, the most of influent NO3- (20 mg-N/L) dramatically reduced in the vicinity of plant roots (-20 to -15 cm sediment depth) where active denitrification was expected in MA. Moreover, the functional genes involved in denitrification such as narG (2.4 × 108 -3.5 × 108 copies·g-1) and nirS (5.6 × 106-1.1 × 107 copies·g-1) were more abundant in this mesocosm. The profile of the microbial community structure at the class level revealed that Alphaproteocbacteria (MA: 14.19 ± 1.19%; MB: 14.01 ± 0.51%; MC: 15.21 ± 2.76%) and Actinobacteria (MA: 8.21 ± 1.91%; MB: 13.91 ± 2.13%; MC: 11.75 ± 3.43%) were predominant in all three mesocosms. Interestingly, the clustered heatmap supported the obvious difference in microbial composition of MA from other mesocosms showing relatively more abundant Clostridia (6.71 ± 1.54%) and Deltaproteobacteria (7.05 ± 0.68%). These results can provide an insight to understand the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle associated with climate change in wetland systems.

Abstract
Excessive nitrogen accumulated from wastewater with low C/N ratio is a new threat to water ecosystem. In this study, surface flow constructed wetland (SFCW) and floating treatment wetland (FTW) planted with Iris pseudacorus were set in parallel for nitrogen removal. The nitrogen removal efficiencies and pathways, as well as the abundance and functional diversities of the microbial community, were investigated. The results demonstrated that SFCW generally had better nitrogen removal performance than FTW did over four seasons. The average total nitrogen removal efficiency was 66.0% and 43.8% in SFCW and FTW, respectively. The plant uptake played a vital role in nitrogen reduction, which accounted for 29.3% and 7.7% of the total removed nitrogen in SFCW and FTW, respectively. A combination of high-throughput sequencing and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that the two wetland systems had complete nitrogen cycling, and the narG gene was the dominant nitrogen-transformation functional gene in both systems. More abundant denitrifying genes in SFCW than in FTW were also responsible for higher removal capacity of nitrogen. The results suggest that the planting pattern of wetland vegetation has an important impact on nitrogen removal efficiency by influencing the plant absorption and the development of microbial communities.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2019; 251:166-174. [PMID: 31078088 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.04.138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2018] [Revised: 03/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/29/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
The increasing release of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) from consumer products has raised great concerns about their impacts on biological wastewater treatment. In this study, the widely-used ZnO NP was selected as a model NP to investigate its impact on high-rate denitrifying granular sludge in terms of sludge properties and community structure. A hormesis effect was observed during short-term exposure, in which the specific denitrification activity (SDA) was stimulated by 10% at 1 mg L-1 ZnO NPs, but inhibited by 23% at 5.0 mg L-1 ZnO NPs. When continuously exposed to 2.5 mg L-1 ZnO NPs, the nitrogen removal capacity of the denitrification reactor was nearly deprived within 15 days, and the relative abundance of the dominant denitrifying bacterium (Castellaniella) was decreased from 51.0 to 8.0%. Meanwhile, the dehydrogenase activity (DHA) and the content of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) significantly decreased to 22.3 and 61.1%, respectively. Nevertheless, the presence of phosphate substantially weakened the adverse effects of ZnO NPs on the SDA, EPS, DHA and the relative abundance of functional genes even exposed to 6.25 mg L-1 ZnO NPs, which was associated with the fact that the level of Zn(II) released from ZnO NPs was significantly reduced in the presence of phosphate. Therefore, the toxicity of ZnO NPs may be mainly attributed to the release of toxic Zn(II) and could be attenuated in the presence of phosphate. Overall, this study provided further reference and meaningful insights into the impact of engineered NPs on biological wastewater treatment.
