Using ozone nanobubbles, and microalgae to promote the removal of nutrients from aquaculture wastewater: Insights from the changes of microbiomes.

Integrated aquaculture wastewater treatment systems (IAWTSs) are widely used in treating aquaculture wastewater with the aeration-microalgae unit serving as an important component. In this study, we artificially constructed an IAWTS and applied two aeration-microalgae methods: ordinary aeration or ozone nanobubbles (ONBs) with microalgae (Nannochloropsis oculata). The impact of N.

Exogenous compound bacteria enhance the nutrient removal efficiency of integrated bioremediation systems: Functional genes and microorganisms play key roles.

With the continuous development of intensive mariculture, the application of the integrated bioremediation system of aquaculture wastewater (IBSAW) is increasingly promoted. However, the process and nutrients removal performance of the IBSAW need to be further optimized due to its immature technologies. In this study, exogenous compound bacteria (ECB) were added to IBSAW to investigate its pollutants removal efficiency and the relevant mechanisms.

The effects of Cyclina sinensis bioturbation on alkaline phosphatase and total microbial hydrolytic activities in marine clam-shrimp integrated ponds.

This study investigated the influence of Venus clam Cyclina sinensis bioturbation activities on the total benthic microbial and phosphatase activities and selected sediment properties: total phosphorus (TP), total organic nitrogen (TON), and total organic carbon (TOC) in aquaculture ponds. Sediments samples from clam-shrimp integrated pond and non-clam integrated pond were sampled for the study, in which sediment microbial activity (MBA) and alkaline phosphatase activity (APA), sediment organic contents (TP, TON, TOC, TOM) and water quality parameter (dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, and moisture content) were analyzed. The p-nitrophenyl phosphate disodium (p-NPP) and fluorescein diacetate (FDA) were adopted to measure APA and MBA, respectively.

Microbial community and interspecies interaction during grazing of ark shell bivalve (Scapharca subcrenata) in a full-scale bioremediation system of mariculture effluents.

A novel biological approach using ark shell bivalves as potential species for remediation of effluents was studied to determine the microbial community interspecies interaction and nutrient cycling in a restoration system of mariculture effluents. A field study showed that Scapharca subcrenata was the main driver of the microbial community's interspecies-interaction (PERMANOVA, R = 0.0572, P = 0.

Bacterioplankton community in response to biological filters (clam, biofilm, and macrophytes) in an integrated aquaculture wastewater bioremediation system.

Integrated systems with appropriate bio-filters can be used to treat aquaculture effluents. However, the information on bio-filters that alters the ecological functions of the bacterioplankton community (BC) in biodegradation of the aquaculture effluents remains controversial. In this study, we implemented a comprehensive restoration technology combined with bio-filters [biofilm, clam (Tegillarca granosa), and macrophytes (Spartina anglica)] to investigate their influence on the stability of the BC and nutrient removal.

Bioturbation by the razor clam (Sinonovacula constricta) on the microbial community and enzymatic activities in the sediment of an ecological aquaculture wastewater treatment system.

Bioturbation by the razor clam, Sinonovacula constricta, influenced the redox conditions and changed the sedimentary environment, providing a suitable micro-environment for microbial growth. However, the mechanism of the integrated razor clam-microbial community in organic matter mineralization remains elusive. To study this mechanism, an in situ experiment was conducted to investigate the bioturbation effects of S.
