Cikapundung River is the main raw water source for 2-millions inhabitants of Bandung city but has been severely deteriorated due to organic pollution such as cattle manure, domestic, and agriculture wastes. Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) in raw water can influence the process of water treatment. This study characterized and identified the origins of fluorescent DOM (FDOM) in Cikapundung River. Raw water samples were collected from intake outlets during dry and rainy seasons and analyzed using Fluorescence Excitation Emission Matrix spectroscopy combined with parallel factor (PARAFAC). FDOM origins were identified by Fluorescence-Index (FI) while autochthonous process contribution in water body was determined by Biological-Index (BIX). Chromophoric DOM as UV absorbance at 254 nm (A254) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) were also measured. The FI were 1.82 (dry season) and 1.77 (rainy season), and the BIX were 0.92 (dry season) and 0.65 (rainy season). PARAFAC identified three compounds: water contaminant-like (C1), humic-like (C2) and tryptophan-like (C3) compounds. C2 was predominantly present in the rainy season with a C3/C2 ratio of 0.33. In the dry season, C3 increased substantially with a C3/C2 of 1.60. Strong correlation between C1 and C3 (R=0.86) was evidence that contaminant-like and tryptophan-like compounds were from the same anthropogenic sources. Strong correlation with A254 may indicate these identified compounds are aromatics.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water from eutrophic water source was isolated into four classes as hydrophilic substances (HIS), hydrophobic acids (HOA), hydrophobic neutrals (HON), and hydrophobic bases (HOB). The formation of Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic acids (HAAs) in chlorination of different DOM fractions was evaluated. The dominate species of THMs and HAAs were chloroform (CF) and trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) in the chlorination of raw water. There were close linear relationship between THMs/HAAs yields and SUVA254 values. Increasing of contact time and chlorine dosage enhanced the formation of THMs/HAAs yields from different DOM fractions. The increase of pH leads to more formation of THMs, and the highest production of HAAs was observed at pH 7.

The relationship between CDOM (Chromophoric dissolved organic matter) and the bacterial community was investigated in ice-covered Baiyangdian Lake. The results showed that environmental parameters significantly differed in Baiyangdian Lake, whereas a-diversity was not significantly different. Moreover, the microbial and functional communities exhibited significant differences, and T (Temperature), pH, ORP (Oxidation-reduction potential), DO (Dissolved oxygen), NO3−-N, NH4+-N, and Mn (Manganese) were the main environmental factors of these differences, based on redundancy analysis and the Mantel test. Biomarkers of the microbial and functional communities were investigated through linear discriminant analysis effect size and STAMP analysis. The number of biomarkers in the natural area was highest among the typical zones, and most top functions were related to carbohydrate metabolism. Two protein-like components (C1 and C2) and one humic-like component (C3) were identified by parallel factor analysis, and C1 was positively related to C2 (R = 0.99, p < 0.001), indicating the same sources. Moreover, CDOM significantly differed among the typical zones (p < 0.001). The high biological index, fluorescence index, β:α, and low humification index indicated a strong autochthonous component and aquatic bacterial origin, which was consistent with the results of UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. Network analysis revealed non-random co-occurrence patterns. The bacterial and functional communities interacted closely with CDOM. The dominant genera were CL500-29_marine_group, Flavobacterium, Limnohabitans, and Candidatus_Aquirestis. Random forest analysis showed that C1, C2, and C3 are important predictors of α- and β-diversity in the water bacterial community and its functional composition. This study provides insight into the interaction between bacterial communities and DOM (Dissolved organic matter) in ice-covered Baiyangdian Lake.
