Abstract The effects of FeS on nitrogen removal performance and microbial community of anammox process were studied. During the start-up period, the removal efficiencies of nitrite and total nitrogen were significantly improved by FeS. The addition of FeS increased the content of iron ions in the reactor and promoted the synthesis of heme c, which was involved in the formation of various enzymes. Compared with the control, the abundance of anammox bacteria in the FeS reactor was increased by 29%, and the expression level of the nirS gene (encoding cd1 type nitrite reductase containing heme) was nearly doubled. The content of nitrite reductase (ammonia-forming) in the community was increased by 26.4%. The difference in functional bacteria and enzyme contents in the microbial community resulted in a difference in nitrogen removal rate (NRR) between the two reactors. High-throughput results indicated that FeS increased the richness and diversity of microbial community and enhanced the metabolic function of the microbial community. The addition of FeS did not change the dominant position of Ca. Kuenenia in both reactors. But the relative abundance of heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria was reduced with FeS, which may be related to the inhibition effect of S2− produced by FeS.

The operation of a combined partial nitritation-anammox (CPNA) process was hampered by the overgrowth of NOB, which was then successfullyin siturestored by the combination of hydroxylamine (NH2OH) dosing and sludge retention time (SRT) control.

Abstract This paper was aimed at investigating the bio-augmentation performance of anaerobic/aerobic/anoxic-type sequencing batch reactor (SBR) during its start-up period by introducing a strain of denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating organism (DPAO). Two SBR reactors were inoculated to study the start-up performance, with one for DPAO introduction and the other as the control specimen. A comparison, of microbial community diversity based on the reactor which obtained a better performance, was made between polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) analyses encoded by 16S rRNA and functional genes (nirS, nirK). The results indicated that the introduction of DPAO had a positive effect on the biological system, including a reduction of the start-up period, the improvement of sludge characteristics and the removal efficiency of nutrients, especially for phosphorus. By comparing the phylogenetic relationship of 16S rRNA and functional genes (nirS, nirK) of the reactor augmented with DPAO, it could be found that the phylogenetic relationship of these genes were remarkably inconsistent with each other. Therefore, 16SrRNA should not be used to determine the microbial community diversity of functional bacteria which could accomplish denitrification, and gene nirK should not be neglected when determining functional bacteria.
