Ecological Insights Into Community Interactions, Assembly Processes and Function in the Denitrifying Phosphorus Removal Activated Sludge Driven by Phosphorus Sources

The microbial characteristics in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) strongly affect their optimal performance and functional stability. However, a cognitive gap remains regarding the characteristics of the microbial community driven by phosphorus sources, especially co-occurrence patterns and c...

description The microbial characteristics in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) strongly affect their optimal performance and functional stability. However, a cognitive gap remains regarding the characteristics of the microbial community driven by phosphorus sources, especially co-occurrence patterns and community assembly based on phylogenetic group. In this study, 59 denitrifying phosphorus removal (DPR) activated sludge samples were cultivated with phosphorus sources. The results suggested that homogeneous selection accounted for the largest proportion that ranged from 35.82 to 64.48%. Deterministic processes dominated in 12 microbial groups (bins): Candidatus_Accumulibacter and Pseudomonas in these bins belonged to phosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs). Network analysis revealed that species interactions were intensive in cyclic nucleoside phosphate-influenced microbiota. Function prediction indicated that cyclic nucleoside phosphates increased the activity of enzymes related to denitrification and phosphorus metabolism and increased the α-diversity of microorganism but decreased the diversity of metabolic function. Based on these results, it was assumed that cyclic nucleoside phosphates, rather than inorganic phosphates, are the most available phosphorus source for majority microorganisms in DPR activated sludge. The study revealed the important role of phosphorus source in the construction and assembly of microbial communities and provided new insights about pollutant removal from WWTPs.
