AI Article Synopsis

  • * The review categorizes different organic compounds and assesses their specific impacts on anammox bacteria from molecular to ecological levels, outlining a "molecule-cell-ecology" inhibitory mechanism.
  • * It suggests strategies to mitigate the inhibitory effects of organics, aiming to enhance the use of anammox systems for treating organic wastewater, thus contributing to a better understanding of these processes.

Article Abstract

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is efficient and cost-effective for treating high-strength ammonia wastewater, but the organics in wastewater will affect its stability. To address this challenge, it is crucial to gain a deep understanding of the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of organics stress on anammox bacteria. The review provided a comprehensive classification of organics and evaluated their specific effects on the anammox system according to their respective characteristics. Based on the micro to macro perspective, the "molecule-cell-ecology" inhibitory mechanism of organics on anammox bacteria was proposed. The molecular observation systematically summarized the binding process and action sites of organics with anammox bacteria. At the cellular observation, the mechanisms of organics effects on extracellular polymeric substances, membranes, and anammoxosome of anammox bacteria were also expounded. At the ecological observation, the dynamic changes in coexisting populations and their role in organics transformation were further discussed. Further revelations on response mechanisms and inhibition mitigation strategies were proposed to broaden the applicability of anammox systems for organic wastewater. This review offered a multidimensional understanding of the organics inhibitory mechanism of anammox bacteria and provided a theoretical foundation for anammox systems.

There is limited understanding of the granular partial denitrification/anammox (PD/A) microbiota and metabolic hierarchy specific to municipal wastewater treatment, particularly concerning the multi-mechanisms of functional differentiation and granulation tendencies under high-loading shocks. Therefore, this study utilized fragmented mature biofilm as the exclusive inoculum to rapidly establish a granular PD/A system. Following long-term feeding with municipal wastewater, PD/A process reached a total nitrogen removal efficiency of 97.

Quorum sensing (QS) is recognized for enhancing bacterial resistance against heavy metals by regulating the production of extracellular substances that hinder metal penetration into the intracellular environment. However, it remains unclear whether QS contributes to resistance by regulating electron transfer, thereby transforming metals from more toxic to less toxic forms. This study investigated the regulatory mechanism of acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated QS on electron transfer under As(III) and Cr(VI) stress.

Elevated concentrations of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in the water bodies are posing a serious threat to the aquatic microbiota and other organisms. In this context, anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacteria carry a great potential to degrade PhACs through their innate metabolic pathways. This study investigates the influence of short-term exposure to lower and higher concentrations (0.
