Abstract
This study investigated the influence of biomass addition on the denitrification performance of iron-carbon wetlands. During long-time operation, the effluent NO3--N concentration of CW-BFe was observed to be the lowest, registering at 0.418 ± 0.167 mg/L, outperforming that of CW-Fe, which recorded 1.467 ± 0.467 mg/L. However, the effluent NH4+-N for CW-BFe increased to 1.465 ± 0.121 mg/L, surpassing CW-Fe's 0.889 ± 0.224 mg/L. Within a typical cycle, when establishing first-order reaction kinetics based on NO3--N concentrations, the introduction of biomass was found to amplify the kinetic constants across various stages in the iron-carbon wetland, ranging between 2.4 and 5.4 times that of CW-Fe. A metagenomic analysis indicated that biomass augments the reduction of NO3--N and NO2--N nitrogen and significantly bolsters the dissimilation nitrate reduction to ammonia pathway. Conversely, it impedes the reduction of N2O, leading to a heightened proportion of 2.715 % in CW-BFe's nitrogen mass balance, a stark contrast to CW-Fe's 0.379 %.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 907:167913. [PMID: 37858824 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167913] [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: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
Microbial communities are responsible for the biological treatment of wastewater, however, our comprehension of their diversity, assembly patterns, and functions remains limited. In this study, we analyzed bacterial communities in both water and sediment samples. These samples were gathered from a novel field-scale aquaculture wastewater treatment system (FAWTS), which employs a multi-stage purification process to eliminate nutrients from pond culture wastewater. Significant variations were observed in bacterial diversity and composition across various ponds within the system and at different stages of the culture. Notably, the bacterial community in the FAWTS displayed a distinct species abundance distribution. The influence of dispersal-driven processes on shaping FAWTS communities was found to be relatively weak. The utilization of neutral and null models unveiled that the assembly of microbial communities was primarily governed by stochastic processes. Moreover, environmental factors variables such as total nitrogen (TN), dissolved oxygen (DO), and temperature were found to be associated with both the composition and assembly of bacterial communities, influencing the relative significance of stochastic processes. Furthermore, we discovered a close relationship between that bacterial community composition and system functionality. These findings hold significant implications for microbial ecologists and environmental engineers, as they can collaboratively refine operational strategies while preserving biodiversity. This, in turn, promotes the stability and efficiency of the FAWTS. In summary, our study contributes to an enhanced mechanistic understanding of microbial community diversity, assembly patterns, and functionality within the FAWTS, offering valuable insights into both microbial ecology and wastewater treatment processes.
