Microbial loss significantly affects wastewater treatment efficiency. This study simulated the inoculation area of a self-developed biological doubling reactor (BDR) to evaluate the retention efficiency of seven different fillers for aerobic denitrifying bacteria. Over 90 days of continuous operation, the porous filler R3 demonstrated excellent performance, with OD600 values consistently exceeding 1.0 and minimal fluctuation. On day 90, the seed liquid amplified with R3 achieved removal efficiencies of 100% for ammonia nitrogen, 97.75% for total nitrogen, and 96.4% for chemical oxygen demand, outperforming other fillers. Scanning electron microscopy and microscopic analysis revealed that R3's large large specific surface area and volume formed a unique meshed biofilm structure, enhancing oxygen and nutrient transport while minimizing detachment. This promoted effective enrichment and retention of aerobic denitrifying bacteria. Microbial diversity analysis confirmed that Acinetobacter, a key genus involved in aerobic denitrification, dominated the network biofilm on R3, accounting for an average of 35.63%. while granular fillers, due to oxygen limitation, promoted the growth of anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing Alcaligenes. The use of BDR-enhanced MBBR for treating synthetic wastewater resulted in a 29.6% increase in TN removal efficiency, with stable system operation. The use of porous fillers with a high specific volume supports stable biofilm formation and consistent seed liquid output, providing a viable solution to microbial loss in wastewater treatment processes.

Inoculating heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification bacteria (HN-AD) to enhance membrane bioreactor (MBR) efficiency may result in the loss of functional bacteria. Therefore, this study compares the application results of enhancing MBR with a self-designed biological amplifier coupled with HN-AD against the performance of conventional MBR. After enhancement, the MBR achieved a removal efficiency of 96.7

To further investigate the potential of heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) bacteria for practical applications, the HN-AD mixed bacteria HY-1 were enriched and domesticated in this study. After five generations of domestication, the mixture was able to remove 98% of ammonia nitrogen (400 mg/L) and 81.9% of mixed nitrogen source (nitrate, nitrite). Changes in community structure in the domestication process of mixed microorganisms were studied using 16S rDNA-seq. The results indicated an increase in the abundance of Acinetobacter from 16.9% to 80%. The conditions for the expanded culture of the HY-1 were also optimized. Moreover, A pilot-scale expanded reactor with a capacity of 1000L was constructed, and the HY-1 was successfully expanded from 0.1L to 800L. The community structures of the HY-1 remained stable after the expanded culture, with Acinetobacter as the dominant species. Moreover, the HY-1 demonstrated adaptability to actual high ammonia nitrogen wastewater and showed potential for practical application.

A novel heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) strain CY-10 was isolated and identified as Sphingopyxis sp. When ammonium, nitrate or nitrite was used as the sole nitrogen source (300 mg/L), the maximum nitrogen removal efficiency of strain CY-10 were 100%, 91.1% and 68.5%, respectively. The optimal salinity for ammonia nitrogen removal by strain CY-10 was in the range of 0-5%. At the salinity of 5%, a maximum nitrogen removal rate of 6.25 mg/(L·h) was realized. Metabonomics data showed that the metabolic levels of sucrose and D-tagatose increased significantly at 5% salinity condition, enabling the strain to regulate osmotic pressure and survive in high-salt environments. Functional genes were successfully amplified by quantitative PCR, and HN-AD pathway of strain CY-10 followed NH4+-N → NH2OH → NO2--N → NO → N2O → N2. These findings show that strain CY-10 has great potential in nitrogen removal treatment of saline wastewater.

Herein, we report a divanadium-catalyzed decarboxylative alkylarylation of alkenes with hypervalent iodine(III) reagents (HIRs) for the rapid construction of tetracyclic benzimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6(5H)-ones. This transformation proceeds regioselectively with viarously substituted N-methacryloyl-2-arylbenzoimidazoles and diverse aliphatic acid-derived HIRs under mild conditions. Furthermore, mechanistic investigations revealed that the in situ generated alkyl radical triggered this regioselective 6-exo cyclization.

The cometabolism mechanism of chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents (CHSs) in mixed consortia remains largely unknown. CHS biodegradation characteristics and microbial networks in methanotrophic consortia were studied for the first time. The results showed that all CHSs can efficiently be degraded via cometabolism with a maximum degradation rate of 4.8 mg/(h.g(cell)). Chloroalkane and chloroethylene were more easily degraded than chlorobenzenes by methanotrophic consortia, especially nonfully chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, which were converted to Cl- with a production rate of 0.29-0.36 mg/(h.g(cell)). In addition, the microecological response results indicated that Methylocystaceae (49.0%), Methylomonas (65.3%) and Methylosarcina (41.9%) may be the major functional degraders in methanotrophic consortia. Furthermore, the results of the microbial correlation network suggested that interactive relationships constructed by type I methanotrophs and heterotrophs determined biodegradability. Additionally, PICRUSt analysis showed that CHSs could increase the relative abundance of CHS degradation genes and reduce the relative abundance of methane oxidation genes, which was in good agreement with the experimental results.

A novel heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) strain CY-10 was isolated and identified as Sphingopyxis sp. When ammonium, nitrate or nitrite was used as the sole nitrogen source (300 mg/L) under aerobic condition, the maximum nitrogen removal efficiency of strain CY-10 were 100%, 91.1% and 68.5%, respectively. The functional genes were successfully amplified by quantitative PCR, and HN-AD pathway of strain CY-10 followed NH4+-N → NH2OH → NO → N2O → N2. The optimal salinity for ammonia nitrogen removal by strain CY-10 was in the range of 0-5%. At the salinity of 5%, a maximum nitrogen removal rate of 6.25 mg/(L·h) was realized. Metabonomics data showed that the metabolic levels of sucrose and D-tagatose increased significantly at 5% salinity condition, enabling the strain to regulate osmotic pressure and survive in high-salt environments. Strain CY-10 has great potential in nitrogen removal treatment of saline wastewater.

A novel strain was isolated from swinewastewater and identified as Acinetobacter sp. TAC-1 based on its phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics. The strain TAC-1 was found to have a high ability to metabolize ammonium-N under low temperature condition. The strain TAC-1 could remove approximately 94.6% of ammonium-N (400 mg/L), 93.3% of nitrate-N (400 mg/L) and 42.4% of nitrite-N (400 mg/L) at 5 °C. The functional genes nitrate reductase gene (narG) and nitrite reductase gene (nirK, nirS) were successfully amplified by qPCR, further evidencing the heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification capability of Acinetobacter sp. TAC-1. The transcriptome data confirmed that the membrane transport protein and unsaturated fatty acid dehydrogenase-related genes of the strain TAC-1 were significantly up-regulated at 5 °C, enabling it to survive low temperatures. The high nitrogen removal ability at 5 °C makes this strain have a good application prospect.
