SBR工艺城市污水处理厂微生物气溶胶逸散特征

在采用SBR工艺的某污水处理厂设置采样点,研究各污水处理工艺段微生物气溶胶的逸散特征.结果表明,各工艺段均有细菌气溶胶逸散,浓度为82～1 525 CFU·m~(-3),粗格栅、生化池和污泥脱水间为主要逸散源.各工艺段检测到的细菌气溶胶主要菌属为Cyanobacteria,其它丰度较高的菌属有Aeromonas、Peptostreptococcaceae、Moraxellaceae、Chroococcidiopsis、Sphingomonas、Arcobacter及Acinetobacter等,其中Aeromonas、Arcobacter、Acinetobacter及Sphingomonas为潜在致病菌.微生物气溶胶的浓度和丰度沿垂直方向和水平方向减少.适宜的温度和相对湿度利于微生物气溶胶在空气中保持活性(P 0. 01),风速则与微生物气溶胶的逸散呈负相关(P 0. 05).污水处理过程产生的微生物气溶胶的暴露风险较小(HQ 1),但是污染物的累积会增加人体的暴露风险.生物除臭反应器在处理臭味气体的同时还可以有效削减微生物气溶胶.     

Characteristics of microbial community involved in early biofilms formation under the influence of wastewater treatment plant effluent

Effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) containing microorganisms and residual nutrients can influence the biofilm formation. Although the process and mechanism of bacterial biofilm formation have been well characterized, little is known about the characteristics and interaction of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes in the early colonization, especially under the influence of WWTP effluent. The aim of this study was to characterize the important bacterial, archaeal and eukaryotic species in the early stage of biofilm formation downstream of the WWTP outlet. Water and biofilm samples were collected 24 and 48 hr after the deposition of bio-cords in the stream. Illumina Miseq sequencing of the 16S and 18S rDNA showed that, among the three domains, the bacterial biofilm community had the largest alpha and beta diversity. The early bacterial colonizers appeared to be “biofilm-specific”, with only a few dominant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) shared between the biofilm and the ambient water environment. Alpha-proteobacteria and Ciliophora tended to dominate the bacterial and eukaryotic communities, respectively, of the early biofilm already at 24 hr, whereas archaea played only a minor role during the early stage of colonization. The network analysis showed that the three domains of microbial community connected highly during the early colonization and it might be a characteristic of the microbial communities in the biofilm formation process where co-occurrence relationships could drive coexistence and diversity maintenance within the microbial communities.     

高通量测序技术应用于污水处理厂细菌气溶胶群落结构分析

由于污水及其处理设施中细菌气溶胶的逸散作用,导致污水处理厂细菌气溶胶的群落结构较为复杂,因此,选择适宜的采样和分析方法对其多样性的认识和风险评估具有重要意义.本研究以某城市污水厂为研究对象,采用"总悬浮颗粒物采样器+高通量测序技术"分别对污水处理全过程进行细菌气溶胶的收集与分析;作为对照,采用"Andersen六级采样器+克隆文库技术"进行同步采样和分析.结果表明,前者对各采样点气溶胶中细菌的多样性、总体群落组成、优势群落的解析均明显优于后者,分析更简便快捷,数据更全面、更接近其真实的分布状态.本研究结果可为污水处理厂细菌气溶胶的采样和分析方法的选择提供科学依据.     

Exposure to Airborne Noroviruses and Other Bioaerosol Components at a Wastewater Treatment Plant in Denmark

Exposure to bioaerosols associated with wastewater treatment processes may represent an occupational health risk for workers at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). A high frequency of acute symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract among the wastewater workers at a Danish WWTP has been reported. The objective of the study was therefore to examine the exposure of the workers to aerosolised microorganisms. Sampling of inhalable endotoxin, bacteria, moulds and viruses was performed on one occasion using personal samplers. Noroviruses (NoVs) and endotoxin were detected at concentrations that could pose an occupational health risk and possibly contribute to the increased frequency of gastrointestinal illness among the workers and should therefore be investigated further. In addition, positive correlations between exposure to endotoxin, bacteria, moulds and NoVs were found and indicate that the exposure to bioaerosols may be related to work tasks. This is the first study directly showing an occupational exposure to airborne NoVs by its detection in airborne dust.     

焦化废水活性污泥细菌菌群结构分析

焦化废水是一种高毒难降解的有机废水,以细菌菌群为主的好氧活性污泥决定焦化废水的处理效率,处理焦化废水的活性污泥细菌群落结构鲜见报道.利用454测序技术分析实际焦化废水污泥中的细菌菌群结构和多样性.结果表明,热图聚类分析和主成分分析说明不同焦化废水活性污泥细菌菌群多样性存在差异;焦化废水活性污泥中的细菌门类群主要为Proteobacteria、Planctomycetes、Acidobacteria、Candidatus Saccharibacteria、Bacteroidetes、Cyanobacteria、Actinobacteria、Chloroflexi、Firmicutes、Thaumarchaeota、Ignavibacteriae和Verrucomicrobia,其中Proteobacteria门占主导地位,丰度为36.00%~76.98%;主要属为Thiobacillus、Thauera、Comamonas、Caldimonas、Steroidobacter、Nitrosomonas、Phycisphaera和Gp4,大多数主要属与芳香烃的降解和硝化反硝化过程有关.这些结果为焦化废水污染物的去除机制提供了理论基础.     

Community analysis of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in activated sludge of eight wastewater treatment systems

We investigated the communities of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria(AOB) in activated sludge collected from eight wastewater treatment systems using polymerase chain reaction(PCR) followed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism(T-RFLP),cloning,and sequencing of the α-subunit of the ammonia monooxygenase gene(amoA).The T-RFLP fingerprint analyses showed that different wastewater treatment systems harbored distinct AOB communities.However,there was no remarkable difference among the AOB TRFLP profiles from different parts of the same system.The T-RFLP fingerprints showed that a full-scale wastewater treatment plant(WWTP) contained a larger number of dominant AOB species than a pilot-scale reactor.The source of influent affected the AOB community,and the WWTPs treating domestic wastewater contained a higher AOB diversity than those receiving mixed domestic and industrial wastewater.However,the AOB community structure was little affected by the treatment process in this study.Phylogenetic analysis of the cloned amoA genes clearly indicated that all the dominant AOB in the systems was closely related to Nitrosomonas spp.not to Nitrosospira spp.Members of the Nitrosomonas oligotropha and Nitrosomonas communis clusters were found in all samples,while members of Nitrosomonas europaea cluster occurred in some systems.     

不同好氧颗粒污泥中微生物群落结构特点

为了探讨活性污泥好氧颗粒化过程对微生物种群的影响、不同底物及不同颗粒化方法培养的好氧颗粒污泥中微生物群落结构的差异,以接种污泥、模拟废水好氧颗粒污泥和分别投加粉末活性炭和硅藻土的实际生活污水好氧颗粒污泥为研究对象,利用PCR-DGGE对比分析了接种污泥和好氧颗粒污泥中的微生物群落结构.结果表明:活性污泥好氧颗粒化过程会减少微生物种群多样性,影响颗粒污泥稳定性的细菌被淘汰,而聚磷菌、反硝化菌、难降解有机物降解菌等污水处理功能微生物都在颗粒化过程中得到保留.活性污泥好氧颗粒化过程中能够实现亚硝化细菌(AOB)一定程度的富集.与接种活性污泥相比,好氧颗粒污泥中AOB的多样性指数与均匀性指数均有提高.好氧颗粒污泥中的优势菌群主要分布于变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)和未培养菌(uncultured bacterium).其中AOB均属于β-Proteobacteria的亚硝化单胞菌属(Nitrosomonas).     

细菌对城市污水中小球藻生长和油脂积累的影响

利用城市污水培养微藻,可在实现污水无害化处理的同时,培养微藻回收生物质能源.污水为微藻的培养提供氮、磷等营养组分和所需水源,同时污水中的细菌可分解污水中的有机物产生CO_2,为微藻提供生长所需碳源.菌藻混合培养既可以收获藻类,又可以净化污水,由于城市污水含有大量的原生菌类,且微藻与细菌之间存在着互生、拮抗等复杂的相互关系,因此,需要筛选出既能够适应于城市污水又能促进微藻生长和油脂积累的优势菌种.本文从不同来源的13种细菌中筛选出2种能够显著促进蛋白核小球藻(Chlorella pyrenoidosa)生长和油脂积累细菌,并分析了微藻培养结束后城市污水的菌群结构.结果表明:污水中光合细菌初始吸光度D600为0.01,W4菌初始吸光度D_(600)为0.02时,对小球藻的干重和油脂产量促进作用最显著,油脂产量分别可达0.114 g·L~(-1)、0.113 g·L~(-1),油脂产量比空白对照组分别提高了22.58%、21.50%.通过对生成的脂肪酸甲酯进行气相色谱分析,结果显示光合细菌和W4菌的添加并未改变小球藻脂肪酸成分,但提升了单不饱和脂肪酸的含量,有利于提升所得生物柴油的品位.培养结束后污水的菌群结构分析显示投加细菌会降低污水中菌群的丰富度和多样性,初步判断是投加的菌在藻液中能够成为优势菌群,且实验组中丛毛单胞菌属(Comamonas)和假单胞菌属(Pseudomonas)的丰度大于对照组.

Characterization and source analysis of indoor/outdoor culturable airborne bacteria in a municipal wastewater treatment plant

The potential health risks of airborne bacteria emission from a wastewater treatment process have been concerned. However, few studies have investigated the differences in community structure between indoor and outdoor bacteria. In this work, the characterization of airborne bacteria was studied in a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Beijing, China. Two indoor (i.e., fine screen room and sludge dewatering house) and two outdoor (i.e., aeration tank and control site) sampling sites were selected. An Andersen six-stage impactor was used for collecting culturable airborne bacteria in the air, and Illumina MiSeq sequencing was conducted to track the emission source of the culturable airborne bacteria. The results indicate that, compared with the outdoor aeration tank site, the concentrations of culturable airborne bacteria in the indoor fine screen room with poor ventilation were more than ten times higher and the particle size was about twice as large. The community structures of indoor and outdoor culturable airborne bacteria were obviously different. Enterobacteriaceae and opportunistic pathogens were detected in indoor culturable airborne bacteria, with wastewater and sludge dewatering machine identified as the primary sources. Conversely, Enterobacteriaceae and opportunistic pathogens were not detected in outdoor culturable airborne bacteria. Outdoor high wind speed might have resulted in rapid dilution and mixing of culturable airborne bacteria generated from the aeration tank with the ambient air. The results of the present research suggest that covering pollution sources, increasing ventilation rates, and using protective measures for personnel should be implemented to decrease the exposure risk to indoor culturable airborne bacteria.     

合肥市夏季大气颗粒物中微生物群落的高通量测序分析

大气颗粒物的组分、来源和时空变化特征等方面已进行了广泛的研究,但对占大气颗粒物25%的生物气溶胶中细菌和真菌等微生物群落的研究较少.本文使用电感耦合等离子体质谱仪（ICP-MS）和离子色谱仪（IC）分别测定了大气颗粒物中痕量元素和水溶性离子的含量,并结合高通量测序和荧光定量PCR分析了合肥市7~9月大气颗粒物PM_1.0、PM_2.5和PM₁₀中微生物群落组成及其来源.结果表明,不同粒径下细菌群落多样性无显著差异（ANOVA,P>0.05）,雨天细菌和真菌群落多样性均高于晴天,所有样品中细菌群落多样性均显著高于真菌群落多样性（ANOVA,P<0.01）;大气中细菌的优势菌门为变形菌门（46.19%）、厚壁菌门（33.42%）、拟杆菌门（10.99%）、蓝藻门（3.33%）和放线菌门（2.11%）,真菌的优势菌门为子囊菌门（73.23%）、担子菌门（5.78%）、被孢霉菌门（3.41%）和毛霉门（0.10%）;通过分析潜在源环境的指示物种,发现土壤、植物叶片和动物粪便是合肥市大气中细菌群落的主要来源,真菌群落的主要来源是植物叶片和土壤;细菌群落主要受K、Pb、Al、Fe、Mg、Ca、Na⁺、NO₂^-和风速（WS）影响,而真菌群落的主要影响因素是V、Mn、Sr、NO₂^-、NO₃^-、Na⁺、Cl^-、空气质量指数（AQI）和PM₁₀;此外,在细菌和真菌群落分析中鉴定到了不动杆菌属、链球菌属、肠杆菌属、假单胞菌属、代夫特菌属、沙雷氏菌属、木霉属、链格孢属和曲霉属等9种致病菌,它们可以导致人类和其它生物的多种疾病.本文的研究结果有助于揭示大气微生物的各种特性及其影响因素,以及对人类健康的影响,对后续研究和政府相应政策的制定具有重要的参考价值.

Number of COVID-19 cases required in a population to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater in the province of Alberta, Canada: Sensitivity assessment

With a unique and large size of testing results of 1,842 samples collected from 12 wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) for 14 months through from low to high prevalence of COVID-19, the sensitivity of RT-qPCR detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater that correspond to the communities was computed by using Probit analysis. This study determined the number of new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population required to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater at defined probabilities and provided an evidence-based framework of wastewater-based epidemiology surveillance (WBE). Input data were positive and negative test results of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater samples and the corresponding new COVID-19 case rates per 100,000 population served by each WWTP. The analyses determined that RT-qPCR-based SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection threshold at 50%, 80% and 99% probability required a median of 8 (range: 4-19), 18 (9-43), and 38 (17-97) of new COVID-19 cases /100,000, respectively. Namely, the positive detection rate at 50%, 80% and 99% probability were 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.04% averagely for new cases in the population. This study improves understanding of the performance of WBE SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection using the large datasets and prolonged study period. Estimated COVID-19 burden at a community level that would result in a positive detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater is critical to support WBE application as a supplementary warning/monitoring system for COVID-19 prevention and control.     

污水处理厂削减耐药菌与抗性基因的研究进展

长期滥用抗生素导致细菌耐药性增强,并使抗性广泛传播.污水处理厂既是耐药菌(antibiotic resistance bacteria,ARB)与抗性基因(antibiotic resistance gene,ARG)的储存库,排放的污水与污泥是向自然环境中传播抗性的重要污染源,也是削减ARB和ARG及控制抗性传播的重要环节.本文总结了天然水体中的耐药菌和抗性基因污染现状,分析了近年来耐药菌与抗性基因在污水/污泥处理过程中的转归与去除方面的研究进展,同时对将来的重点研究方向提出展望,以期为今后耐药菌和抗性基因的污染控制提供参考.     

太湖不同湖区冬季沉积物细菌群落多样性

为了探究太湖不同营养水平湖区冬季沉积物细菌群落多样性,利用高通量测序对太湖水草区、湖心区和河口区共9个采样点表层沉积物细菌的16S rRNA基因进行序列测定.结果发现：不同湖区的物种丰富度和均匀度为水草区 > 湖心区 > 河口区;不同湖区优势细菌群落组成存在差异.其中,硝化螺旋菌门（Nitrospirae）和酸杆菌门（Acidobacteria）2类门水平优势细菌以及厌氧绳菌纲（Anaerolineae）和硝化螺菌纲（Nitrospira）2类纲水平优势细菌在不同湖区之间差异显著.冬季太湖沉积物细菌优势类群为绿弯菌门（Chloroflexi）、变形菌门（Proteobacteria）、蓝藻门（Cyanobacteria）和硝化螺旋菌门（Nitrospirae）;在属分类水平上,主要优势类群为unidentified_Chloroplast和微囊藻属（Microcystis）.Cyanobacteria和Microcystis在所有采样点均有检出,平均丰度均以湖心区最高.对沉积物细菌群落与环境因子的关系进行冗余分析,结果表明：营养盐水平、水温和pH值均能影响沉积物细菌群落结构,NO₃^--N和水温是Microcystis的主要影响因子.     

渭河浮游细菌群落结构特征及其关键驱动因子

基于T-rflp技术和高通量测序技术,分析了渭河在平水期、枯水期和丰水期的浮游细菌群落变化特征,并采用冗余分析和典范对应分析识别了不同水文时期影响细菌群落的关键环境因子.结果表明,渭河水体浮游细菌群落空间和季节差异明显,且季节性差异比空间差异更加显著.平水期、枯水期和丰水期渭河(陕西段)干流浮游细菌群落Shannon多样性指数分别在2.13~2.82、2.05~2.84和2.61~2.91之间.平水期浮游细菌多样性指数空间差异最大(RSD=16.75%),样点间群落结构相似度最低(26.8%),流域优势T-RF片段数最多(23种);丰水期浮游细菌Shannon指数空间差异最小(RSD=9.27%),样点间群落相似度最高(62.6%),且检出的优势片段数最少(12种).咸阳-西安段是浮游细菌群落多样性最低、优势菌群结构最单一的河段.河流水体细菌群落在不同时期的关键环境驱动因子不同,而其中悬浮颗粒物(TSS)浓度是不同水文时期都不可忽视的关键影响因子.高通量分析结果表明,丰水期渭河水体浮游细菌物种涉及21个已知细菌门类和26个候选门类,其中,变形菌门(Proteobacteria)和拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)共同的相对丰度占比达到75%以上,是最主要的细菌类群.汛期渭河干流各样点浮游细菌群落特征趋于一致,物种结构与泾河相似而与黑河存在明显差异.

应用FCM-qPCR方法定量检测水中常见病原体

以往对水体病原体的研究主要是通过监测粪大肠杆菌作为指示,然而研究表明粪大肠杆菌与水中病毒和细菌病原体呈现出较差的相关性.因此,选取水中典型病原体并对其进行定量检测是当前需要解决的技术问题.为此本研究建立了流式细胞术和定量PCR联合使用方法,用于快速获取水环境中总病毒、细菌以及几种典型病原体(大肠杆菌、军团菌、腺病毒、贾第虫和隐孢子虫等)的浓度水平,并将该方法应用到污水处理厂进出水及受纳河流上下游的病原体检测中.结果表明,该污水处理厂对总细菌和总病毒以及几种典型病原体都具有较高的去除率(93%);污水处理厂排水对受纳水体病原体浓度水平基本没有负面影响.研究为评估污水处理厂处理效果及排水对受纳水体的生态影响提供了技术支持.
