Influence and mechanism of typical transition metal ions on the denitrification performance of heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification bacteria.

To investigate the inhibitory effects of various transition metal ions on nitrogen removal and their underlying mechanisms, the single and combined effects of Cu Ni and Zn on Heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) bacteria Acinetobacter sp. TAC-1 were studied in a batch experiment system. The results revealed that increasing concentrations of Cu and Ni had a detrimental effect on the removal of ammonium nitrogen (NH-N) and total nitrogen (TN).

Microecological health assessment of water environment and sediment based on metagenomics: a case study of Guixi River in Chongqing, China.

River sediment is vital in containing water pollution and strengthening water remediation. This paper has conducted a study on the microecological health assessment of the sediment and water body of Guixi River in Dianjiang, Chongqing, China, using metagenomics sequencing and microbial biological integrity index (M-IBI) technology. The analysis of physical and chemical characteristics shows that the concentration of TN varies from 2.
