AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study utilized a five-compartment ABR reactor to analyze the microbial community using Miseq High-throughput Sequencing during steady operations, revealing the presence of denitrifying bacteria like Proteobacteria, Planctomycete, and Nitrospirae with varying percentages in the sludge.
  • - Four dominant genera were identified within the Proteobacteria phylum, with specific main genera in Planctomycete, and the sludge color changed from red to black across the compartments.
  • - The biodiversity indexes (Chao, ACE, Shannon, and Simpson) showed an increase in microbial richness and diversity over time, indicating that as the relative abundance of Proteobacteria rose, that of Planctomycetes decreased,

Article Abstract

In order to investigate the characteristics of microbial community in each compartment of ABR anammox reactor, a five-compartment ABR reactor was used to analyze the microbial community by Miseq High-throughput Sequencing during the steady operational process. The results indicated that the denitrifying bacteria coexisted in the reactor, such as Proteobacteria, Planctomycete, and Nitrospirae bacteria, and the percentages of these three microbial populations in the sludge were 11.66%-20.28%, 2.18%-7.94% and 0.19%-6.30%, respectively. In addition, there were four dominant genera in the phylum Proteobacteria:, , and Furthermore, and were the main genera in the phylum Planctomycete. The color of sludge in the five compartments, in turn, varied from red to black. In addition, the biodiversity index of Chao, ACE, Shannon and Simpson indicated that the richness and diversity of microbial community increased gradually, and at the same time, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria increased while that of Planctomycetes gradually decreased. The above conclusion was consistent with the laws of substrate degradation and enrichment of functional microorganisms.
