The nutrients availability determines efficiency of biological treatment systems, along with the structure and metabolism of microbiota. Herein nutrients deficiencies on aerobic granular sludge were comparatively evaluated, treating wastewater with mass ratios of chemical oxygen demand : nitrogen : phosphorus being 200:20:4, 200:2:4, and 200:20:0.4 (deemed as nutrient-balanced, nitrogen-deficient, and phosphorus-deficient), respectively. Results revealed that both nitrogen and phosphorus deficiencies significantly raised the effluent qualities especially nitrogen removal. However, nitrogen deficiency aroused considerable growth of filamentous bacteria, while granules kept compact structure under phosphorus deficient condition. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) also varied in contents and structures in response to different wastewaters. Microbial community structure analysis demonstrated that nitrogen deficiency led to lower richness and higher diversity, while the reverse was observed under phosphorus deficient condition. Nitrogen deficiency mainly induced decrease of nitrifying bacteria, while similarly phosphorus deficiency led to loss of phosphorus accumulating organisms. Dramatic enrichment Candidatus_Competibacter and filamentous Thiothrix were found under nutrients deficiencies, in which the latter explained and indicated filamentous bulking potential especially under nitrogen limited condition. Bacterial metabolism patterns verified the functions of microbial community responding to nutrients via PICRUSt2 prediction mainly by up-regulating cell motility, and cellular processes and signaling. This study could aid understanding of long-term stability of aerobic granular sludge for low-strength wastewater treatment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009584 Nitrogen An element with the atomic symbol N, atomic number 7, and atomic weight [14.00643; 14.00728]. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic gas and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere by volume. It is a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids and found in all living cells.
D010758 Phosphorus A non-metal element that has the atomic symbol P, atomic number 15, and atomic weight 31. It is an essential element that takes part in a broad variety of biochemical reactions. Black Phosphorus,Phosphorus-31,Red Phosphorus,White Phosphorus,Yellow Phosphorus,Phosphorus 31,Phosphorus, Black,Phosphorus, Red,Phosphorus, White,Phosphorus, Yellow
D000332 Aerobiosis Life or metabolic reactions occurring in an environment containing oxygen. Aerobioses
D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
D012722 Sewage Refuse liquid or waste matter carried off by sewers. Sludge,Sludge Flocs
D014865 Waste Disposal, Fluid The discarding or destroying of liquid waste products or their transformation into something useful or innocuous. Disposal, Fluid Waste,Disposals, Fluid Waste,Fluid Waste Disposal,Fluid Waste Disposals,Waste Disposals, Fluid
D062065 Wastewater Contaminated water generated as a waste product of human activity. Waste Water,Waste Waters,Wastewaters,Water, Waste,Waters, Waste
D019149 Bioreactors Tools or devices for generating products using the synthetic or chemical conversion capacity of a biological system. They can be classical fermentors, cell culture perfusion systems, or enzyme bioreactors. For production of proteins or enzymes, recombinant microorganisms such as bacteria, mammalian cells, or insect or plant cells are usually chosen. Fermentors,Bioreactor,Fermentor
