Fan W, Huang X, Xiong J, Wang S. Salinity stress results in ammonium and nitrite accumulation during the elemental sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification process. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1353965. [PMID: 38419625 PMCID: PMC10901299 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1353965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of salinity on elemental sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification (SAD) efficiency, and microbial communities. The results revealed that when the salinity was ≤6 g/L, the nitrate removal efficiency in SAD increased with the increasing salinity reaching 95.53% at 6 g/L salinity. Above this salt concentration, the performance of SAD gradually decreased, and the nitrate removal efficiency decreased to 33.63% at 25 g/L salinity. Approximately 5 mg/L of the hazardous nitrite was detectable at 15 g/L salinity, but decreased at 25 g/L salinity, accompanied by the generation of ammonium. When the salinity was ≥15 g/L, the abundance of the salt-tolerant microorganisms, Thiobacillus and Sulfurimonas, increased, while that of other microbial species decreased. This study provides support for the practical application of elemental sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification in saline nitrate wastewater.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa based concurrent degradation of beta-cypermethrin and metabolite 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde, and its bioremediation efficacy in contaminated soils. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 236:116619. [PMID: 37482127 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Beta-cypermethrin is one of the widely used pyrethroid insecticides, and problems associated with the accumulation of its residues have aroused public attention. Thus, there is an urgent need to effectively remove the beta-cypermethrin that is present in the environment. Biodegradation is considered a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for removing pesticide residues. However, the beta-cypermethrin-degrading microbes that are currently available are not optimal. In this study, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was capable of efficiently degrading beta-cypermethrin and its major metabolite 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde in water/soil environments. Strain PAO1 could remove 91.4% of beta-cypermethrin (50 mg/L) in mineral salt medium within 120 h. At the same time, it also possesses a significant ability to metabolize 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde-a toxic intermediate of beta-cypermethrin. The Andrews equation showed that the maximum substrate utilization concentrations of beta-cypermethrin and 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde by PAO1 were 65.3558 and 49.6808 mg/L, respectively. Box-Behnken design-based response surface methodology revealed optimum conditions for the PAO1 strain-based degradation of beta-cypermethrin as temperature 30.6 °C, pH 7.7, and 0.2 g/L inoculum size. The results of soil remediation experiments showed that indigenous micro-organisms helped to promote the biodegradation of beta-cypermethrin in soil, and beta-cypermethrin half-life in non-sterilized soil was 6.84 days. The bacterium transformed beta-cypermethrin to produce five possible metabolites, including 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol, methyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)benzoate, diisobutyl phthalate, 3,5-dimethoxyphenol, and 2,2-dimethyl-1-(4-phenoxyphenyl)propanone. Among them, methyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)benzoate and 3,5-dimethoxyphenol were first identified as the intermediate products during the beta-cypermethrin degradation. In addition, we propose a degradation pathway for beta-cypermethrin that is metabolized by strain PAO1. Beta-cypermethrin could be biotransformed firstly by hydrolysis of its carboxylester linkage, followed by cleavage of the diaryl bond and subsequent metabolism. Based on the above results, P. aeruginosa PAO1 could be a potent candidate for the beta-cypermethrin-contaminated environmental bioremediation.

Nitrogen removal capability and mechanism of a novel heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying strain H1 as a potential candidate in mariculture wastewater treatment. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:106366-106377. [PMID: 37728674 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29666-4] [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: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
The nitrogen removal performance and mechanisms of Bacillus subtilis H1 isolated from a mariculture environment were investigated. Strain H1 efficiently removed NH4+-N, NO2--N, and NO3--N in simulated wastewater with removal efficiencies of 85.61%, 90.58%, and 57.82%, respectively. Strain H1 also efficiently degraded mixed nitrogen (NH4+-N mixed with NO2--N and/or NO3--N) and had removal efficiencies ranging from 82.39 to 89.54%. Nitrogen balance analysis revealed that inorganic nitrogen was degraded by heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) and assimilation. 15N isotope tracing indicated that N2O was the product of the HN-AD process, while N2 as the final product was only detected during the reduction of 15NO2--N. The nitrogen assimilation and dissimilation pathways by strain H1 were further clarified using complete genome sequencing, nitrification inhibitor addition, and enzymatic activity measurement, and the ammonium oxidation process was speculated as NH4+ → NH2OH → NO → N2O. These results showed the application prospect of B. subtilis H1 in treating mariculture wastewater.

Investigation of underlying links between nitrogen transformation and microorganisms' network modularity in the novel static aerobic composting of dairy manure by "stepwise verification interaction analysis". THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 883:163674.

Abstract
Conventional composting is a viable method treating agricultural solid waste, and microorganisms and nitrogen transformation are the two major components of this proces. Unfortunately, conventional composting is time-consuming and laborious, and limited efforts have been made to mitigate these problems. Herein, a novel static aerobic composting technology (NSACT) was developed and employed for the composting of cow manure and rice straw mixtures. During the composting process, physicochemical parameters were analyzed to evaluate the quality of compost products, and microbial abundance dynamics were determined using high-throughput sequencing technique. The results showed that NSACT achieved compost maturity within 17 days as the thermophilic stage (≥55 °C) lasted for 11 days. GI, pH, and C/N were 98.71 %, 8.38, and 19.67 in the top layer, 92.32 %, 8.24, and 22.38 in the middle layer, 102.08 %, 8.33, and 19.95 in the bottom layer. These observations indicate compost products maturated and met the requirements of current legislation. Compared with fungi, bacterial communities dominated NSACT composting system. Based on the stepwise verification interaction analysis (SVIA), the novel combination utilization of multiple statistical analyses (Spearman, RDA/CCA, Network modularity, and Path analyses), bacterial genera Norank Anaerolineaceae (-0.9279*), norank Gemmatimonadetes (1.1959*), norank Acidobacteria (0.6137**) and unclassified Proteobacteria (-0.7998*), and fungi genera Myriococcum thermophilum (-0.0445), unclassified Sordariales (-0.0828*), unclassified Lasiosphaeriaceae (-0.4174**), and Coprinopsis calospora (-0.3453*) were the identified key microbial taxa affecting NH4+-N, NO3--N, TKN and C/N transformation in the NSACT composting matrix respectively. This work revealed that NSACT successfully managed cow manure-rice straw wastes and significantly shorten the composting period. Interestingly, most microorganisms observed in this composting matrix acted in a synergistic manner, promoting nitrogen transformation.

Abstract
In this study, A Acinetobacter pittii sp. was isolated with high efficiency for heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification (HN-AD). The boundary conditions for total nitrogen (TN) removal were as follows: C/N ratios 8-14, temperature 25-35 °C, initial pH 7-9, and shaker speed 100-120 rpm. Addition of mixed carbon resources achieved 97.38 % ammonia-N and 91.50 % TN removal, which was higher than that of the group with sole carbon resources. The ammonia-N and TN removal profiles matched well with first-order kinetics in the rapid response period and zero-order kinetics in the slow reaction period. Meanwhile, enzyme activity related to nitrogen conversion would remarkably increase with mixed carbon resources. Furthermore, proposed a possible relationship between the solid carbon source, hydrolysis, soluble small molecule organic matter, microbial activity, and heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification (HN-AD). This study provides a new strategy for improving nitrogen removal in wastewater with low-carbon resources.

Abstract
Denitrification reactions commonly remove nitrate and other reactive nitrogen (Nr) from wastewater. The C/N ratio indicates the sufficiency of organic carbons to drive heterotrophic denitrification; a low C/N ratio frequently leads to poor denitrification performance in wastewater treatment. This study proposed and tested a novel Sharon&DSR (denitrifying sulfide removal) process, with nitrite generated by the Sharon reactions and sulfide from sulfur-reducing reactions for promoting the following nitrite-based denitrification and denitrifying sulfide removal (DSR) process. The present reactor can remove nitrate at an efficiency of 97.7 %-93.5 % at an influent C/N ratio of 0.646-0.737 over a 96-d continuous-flow test. The microbial community study reveals the functional strains corresponding to individual groups of critical reactions. The stoichiometry analysis reveals the potential to apply the nitrite-based DSR process for Nr removal from ultra-low C/N (<0.64) wastewaters, experimentally demonstrated in the present study with a C/N ratio of 0.16-0.39.
