THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 946:174188. [PMID: 38925393 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174188] [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: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Rice-crayfish farming systems (RCs) can help mitigate climate change by enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, the mechanisms that govern the responses of microbial residues carbon (MRC), a key component of SOC, in RCs are not fully understood. We conducted a 6-year field experiment comparing RCs and rice monoculture systems (RMs). Specifically, we explored how MRC formation and stabilization differ between the two systems and how those differences are linked to changes in the metabolic processes of microbes. Results showed that MRC levels in RCs were 5.2 % and 40.0 % higher in the topsoil and subsoil, respectively, compared to RMs, indicating depth-dependent effects. Notably, MRC accumulation and stabilization in RCs were promoted through a cascade of processes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) accessibility-microbial metabolism-mineral protection. In addition, the mechanism of MRC accumulation in subsoil differed between the two systems. Specifically, RMs improved accessibility of DOC by reducing humification and aromaticity of subsoil DOC, which helped microbes access to resources at lower cost. This decreased the respiration rate of microbes, thereby increasing microbial carbon pump (MCP) efficiency and thus promoting MRC accumulation. By contrast, the crayfish in RCs facilitated carbon exchange between topsoil and subsoil through their burrowing behaviors. This increased carbon allocation for microbial metabolism in the subsoil, supporting a larger microbial population and thus enhancing the MCP capacity, while reducing MRC re-decomposition via enhanced mineral protection, further increasing subsoil MRC accumulation. That is, MRC accumulation in the subsoil of RCs was predominantly driven by microbial population numbers (MCP capacity) whereas that of RMs was mostly driven by microbial anabolic efficacy (MCP efficiency). Our findings reveal a key mechanism by which RCs promoted soil MRC accumulation and stabilization, highlighting the potential role of DOC accessibility-microbial metabolism-mineral protection pathway in regulating MRC accumulation and stabilization.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133396.

Abstract
Pyridine is a widely employed nitrogen-containing heterocyclic organic, and the discharge of pyridine wastewater poses substantial environmental challenges due to its recalcitrance and toxicity. Co-metabolic degradation emerged as a promising solution. In this study, readily degradable glucose and the structurally analogous phenol were used as co-metabolic substrates respectively, and the corresponding mechanisms were thoroughly explored. To treat 400 mg/L pyridine, all reactors achieved remarkably high removal efficiencies, surpassing 98.5%. And the co-metabolism reactors had much better pyridine-N removal performance. Batch experiments revealed that glucose supplementation bolstered nitrogen assimilation, thereby promoting the breakdown of pyridine, and resulting in the highest pyridine removal rate and pyridine-N removal efficiency. The high abundance of Saccharibacteria (15.54%) and the enrichment of GLU and glnA substantiated this finding. On the contrary, phenol delayed pyridine oxidation, potentially due to its higher affinity for phenol hydroxylase. Nevertheless, phenol proved valuable as a carbon source for denitrification, augmenting the elimination of pyridine-N. This was underscored by the abundant Thauera (30.77%) and Parcubacteria (7.21%) and the enriched denitrification enzymes (narH, narG, norB, norC, and nosZ, etc.). This study demonstrated that co-metabolic degradation can bolster the simultaneous conversion of pyridine and pyridine-N, and shed light on the underling mechanism.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 342:123154.

Abstract
Sulfate concentrations in eutrophic waters continue to increase; however, the transformations of arsenic (As) in sediments under these conditions are unclear. In this study, we constructed a series of microcosms to investigate the effect of algal degradation on As transformations in sediments with high sulfate concentrations. The results showed that both the elevated sulfate levels and algal degradation enhanced the release of As from sediments to the overlying water, and degradation of algal in the presence of elevated sulfate levels could further contribute to As release. Sulfate competed with arsenate for adsorption in the sediments, leading to As desorption, while algal degradation created a strongly anaerobic environment, leading to the loss of the redox layer in the surface sediments. With high sulfate, algal degradation enhanced sulfate reduction, and sulfur caused the formation of thioarsenates, which may cause re-dissolution of the arsenides, enhancing As mobility by changing the As speciation. The results of sedimentary As speciation analysis indicated that elevated sulfur levels and algal degradation led to a shift of As from Fe2O3/oxyhydroxide-bound state to specifically adsorbed state at the sediment water interface. This study indicated that algal degradation increases the risk of As pollution in sulfate-enriched eutrophic waters.

Abstract
In this study, a combination of property analysis and high-throughput sequencing was used to investigate the microbial colonization ability and their community structures and functions in polypropylene microplastics (PPMPs), polystyrene microplastics (PSMPs) and montmorillonite (MMT), respectively as the representatives of artificial and natural substrates in aerobic sludge treatment. After 45 d of incubation, the surface properties of substrates were altered with the increased oxygen functional groups and surface roughness, indicating microbial settlement. Moreover, MPs had different microbial structures from that of MMT, and PSMPs exhibited higher microbial diversity and abundance than PPMPs and MMT. Also, these substrates changed the inherent ecological niche in sludge. Especially, the abundance of some pathogens (e.g., Pseudomonas, Klebsiella and Flavobacterium) was increased in MPs, and the disease risk of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes metabolic pathway (e.g., Infectious diseases: Bacterial, Infectious diseases: Parasitic and Immune diseases) was higher. Also, the presence of MPs inhibited the decomposition of organic matter including soluble chemical oxygen demand and protein compared to natural substrates. The findings revealed the crucial vector role of MPs for microbes and the effect on aerobic sludge treatment, highlighting the necessity of MP removal in sludge.

Abstract
Secondary water supply systems (SWSSs) are crucial water supply infrastructures for high-rise buildings in metropolitan cities. In recent years, they have garnered public attention due to increased microbial risks. However, our understanding of SWSS microbial ecology, particularly concerning the composition of eukaryotes and the underlying mechanisms driving microbial dynamics and assembly in SWSSs, remains elusive. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive investigation on both eukaryotes and bacteria along the water transportation pathway and across various microbial habitats (water, biofilm, and sediment) in SWSSs. Sequencing results revealed that eukaryotes within SWSSs predominantly consist of protists (average abundance: 31.23%) and metazoans (20.91%), while amoebae accounted for 4.71% of the total. During water transportation from the distribution mains to taps, both bacterial and eukaryotic communities exhibited significant community shifts, and higher degrees of variation were observed for eukaryotic community among different locations within SWSSs. The normalized stochasticity ratio (NST) analysis demonstrated that bacterial community assembly was governed by stochastic processes, while eukaryotic community assembly was primarily shaped by deterministic processes. Within SWSS tanks, bacterial communities significantly varied across water, biofilm, and sediment, whereas eukaryotic communities showed minor differences among these habitats. The co-occurrence networks analysis revealed that tank biofilm and sediment harbored more eukaryote-bacterium linkages than water, suggesting biofilm and sediment might be hotspots for inter-kingdom interactions. We also applied FEAST analysis to track the source of tap water microbiota, results of which showed that household-tap bacteria mainly originated from tank water. In contrast, tank biofilm was identified as the primary microbial source to eukaryotes in household tap water. Additionally, engineering factors such as tank materials significantly affected amoeba community, and the SWSS configuration was found to influence Legionella and Mycobacterium abundances in SWSSs. Overall, results of our study shed light on the microbial ecology in SWSS and provide insights into SWSS management and health risk control.

Abstract
The soil microbial diversity in the gangue accumulation area is severely stressed by a variety of heavy metals, while the influence of long-term recovery of herbaceous plants on the ecological structure of gangue-contaminated soil is to be explored. Therefore, we analysed the differences in physicochemical properties, elemental changes, microbial community structure, metabolites and expression of related pathways in soils in the 10- and 20-year herbaceous remediation areas of coal gangue. Our results showed that phosphatase, soil urease, and sucrase activities of gangue soils significantly increased in the shallow layer after herbaceous remediation. However, in zone T1 (10-year remediation zone), the contents of harmful elements, such as Thorium (Th; 1.08-fold), Arsenic (As; 0.78-fold), lead (Pb; 0.99-fold), and uranium (U; 0.77-fold), increased significantly, whereas the soil microbial abundance and diversity also showed a significant decreasing trend. Conversely, in zone T2 (20-year restoration zone), the soil pH significantly increased by 1.03- to 1.06-fold and soil acidity significantly improved. Moreover, the abundance and diversity of soil microorganisms increased significantly, the expression of carbohydrates in soil was significantly downregulated, and sucrose content was significantly negatively correlated with the abundance of microorganisms, such as Streptomyces. A significant decrease in heavy metals was observed in the soil, such as U (1.01- to 1.09-fold) and Pb (1.13- to 1.25-fold). Additionally, the thiamin synthesis pathway was inhibited in the soil of the T1 zone; the expression level of sulfur (S)-containing histidine derivatives (Ergothioneine) was significantly up-regulated by 0.56-fold in the shallow soil of the T2 zone; and the S content in the soil significantly reduced. Aromatic compounds were significantly up-regulated in the soil after 20 years of herbaceous plant remediation in coal gangue soil, and microorganisms (Sphingomonas) with significant positive correlations with benzene ring-containing metabolites, such as Sulfaphenazole, were identified.

Abstract
With the development of global industrialization, carbon neutrality has become an issue that we must be paid attention to. Microorganisms not only have an important impact on the carbon chemical cycle between the Earth's biosphere and biogeography but also play a key role in maintaining the global organic carbon balance. Wetlands are the main reservoir of organic carbon in the mainland of China, and wetland carbon sinks are indispensable for China to achieve the goal of "dual carbon," and China has taken the consolidation and improvement of wetland carbon sink capacity as an important part of the carbon peaking action plan. As a unique low-latitude, high-altitude seasonal plateau wetland in China, Napahai shows high research value. However, the role of microbes in maintaining dissolved organic carbon balance in this area has not been reported. In the study, six carbon fixation genes, accA, aclB, acsA, acsB, cbbL, and rbcL, were analyzed based on metagenomics to elucidate the rich genetic diversity, uniqueness and differences in the Napahai plateau wetland. It was found that the microbial diversity in the Napahai plateau wetland was different from other habitats. In addition, the aclB gene, a rare taxon with high genetic diversity and rich species in the Napahai plateau wetland, played a key role in the microbial metabolic pathway. Finally, the construction of a metabolic pathway through the Kyoto encyclopedia for genes and genomes revealed the contribution of microbes to carbon fixation and the role of microbes in maintaining the organic carbon balance of the Napahai plateau wetland.

Abstract
It has long been recognized that pH mediates community structure changes in glacier foreland soils. Here, we showed that pH changes resulted from plant colonization. Plant colonization reduced pH and increased soil organic carbon, which increased bacterial diversity, changed the community structure of both bacteria and fungi, enhanced environmental filtering, and improved microbial network disturbance resistance.
