摘要
运用高通量测序技术分析了不同溶解氧(DO)浓度下硝化工艺微生物种群结构.结果表明,低氧硝化反应器(R_L,DO浓度为0. 2~0. 3 mg·L~(-1))比高氧硝化反应器[R_H,DO=(2. 0±0. 1) mg·L~(-1)]具有更高的种群多样性,而R_H中微生物种群功能组织性更高.尽管R_H和R_L共有物种信息达85%以上,但DO浓度的不同造成了单个物种在相对丰度上的显著差异.Proteobacteria门(80. 7%)在R_H中被高度富集,其中Nitrosomonas菌属相对丰度达到65. 1%;而在R_L中则以Proteobacteria(43. 8%)、Firmicutes (20. 0%)以及Bacteroidetes (15. 1%)为共同主导者,同时R_L中含有大量Lactococcus、Anaerolineaceae以及Rhodocyclaceae等可在厌氧或缺氧条件下进行水解发酵作用的菌属. Nitrosomonas oligotropha和Nitrosomonas europaea分别为RH和RL中优势氨氧化细菌,而亚硝酸盐氧化细菌均以Nitrospira defluvii为主导.反应器中NH_4~+-N和NO_2~--N浓度(而非DO浓度)是上述硝化菌群被选择性富集的关键因素.
High-throughput sequencing was applied to analyze the microbial community structure of nitrifying reactors operated with different dissolved oxygen( DO) levels. Results showed that the nitrifying reactor( R_L) run with low DO( 0. 2-0. 3 mg·L~(-1)) exhibited greater microbial richness and diversity than the reactor run under the high DO condition [R_H,DO =( 2. 0 ± 0. 1) mg·L~(-1)]. In contrast,the microbial community in R_H was more highly functionally organized than that in R_L. Although the communities in R_H and R_L shared over 85% of the total sampled genetic information,the relative abundance of some individual species varied between the different DO conditions. Members of the Proteobacteria phylum,which accounted for 80. 7% of the total microbes in R_H,were highly enriched,and the relative abundance of Nitrosomonas reached to 65. 1%. However,the microbial community in R_L was dominated by Proteobacteria( 43. 8%),Firmicutes( 20. 0%),and Bacteroidetes( 15. 1%). In addition,a large fraction of bacteria possessing hydrolyzation and fermentation functions under anaerobic or anoxic conditions were also present in R_L including Lactococcus,Anaerolineaceae,and Rhodocyclaceae. As known ammonium-oxidizing bacteria,Nitrosomonas oligotropha and Nitrosomonas europaea were enriched in the R_H and R_L,respectively,while Nitrospira defluvii,being a nitrite-oxidizing bacteria,dominated both reactors.Rather than DO,ammonia and nitrite availability should be key factors in the selective enrichment of these nitrifiers.
