Characterization of the airborne bacteria community at different distances from the rotating brushes in a wastewater treatment plant by 16S rRNA gene clone libraries

Biological risks of bioaerosols emitted from wastewater treatment processes have attracted wide attention in the recent years. However, the culture-based analysis method has been mostly adopted for detecting the bacterial community in bioaerosols, which may result in the underestimation of total microorganism concentration as not all microorganisms are cultivable. In this study, oligonucleotide fingerprinting of 16S rRNA genes was applied to reveal the composition and structure of the bacterial community in bioaerosols from an Orbal oxidation ditch in a Beijing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Bioaerosols were collected at different distances from the aerosol source, rotating brushes, and the sampling height was 1.5 m which is the common respiratory height of a human being. The bacterial communities of bioaerosols were diverse, and the lowest bacterial diversity was found at the sampling site just after the rotating brush rotating brush. A large proportion of bacteria in bioaerosols were affiliated with Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes. Numerous bacteria present in the bioaerosols also emerged in water, indicating that the bacterial community in the bioaerosols was related to that of the aerosols’ sources. The forced aeration of rotating brushes brought about observably distinct bacterial communities between sampling sites situated before and after the rotating brush. Isolation sources of closest relatives in bioaerosols clone libraries were associated with the aqueous environment in the WWTP. Common potential pathogens in bioaerosols as well as those not reported in previous research were also analyzed in this study. Measures should be adopted to reduce the emission of bioaerosols and prevent their exposure to workers.

农村污水膜生物反应器系统中微生物群落解析

农村污水的随意排放和未加限制的灌溉回用可能会导致水源地环境污染加剧,并且其中潜在的病原微生物对周边淡水资源安全和农村居民的身心健康造成潜在的威胁.为了解农村污水的微生物群落组成,为后续污水灌溉的病原微生物风险评价提供理论依据,采用末端限制性片段长度多态性(T-RFLP)和16S r DNA基因克隆文库技术研究农村污水膜生物反应器(MBR)系统中的微生物群落多样性,并结合实时荧光定量PCR方法监测处理前后典型病原菌——弓形菌(Arcobacter spp.)以及总细菌数量的变化.从未处理的农村污水中获取的73个阳性克隆测序结果表明,其主要细菌类群为变形菌门(91.8%)、厚壁菌门(2.70%)、拟杆菌门(1.40%),以及部分不可培养细菌(4.10%).其中弓形菌属是ε-变形菌门的优势菌,也是农村污水中的优势菌株,占克隆总数的68.5%.TRFLP的结果表明,不同处理工艺阶段的主要细菌类群及丰度明显不同,调节池的物种丰度(S)、Shannon-Wiener(H)和物种均匀度(E)最高,分别为43.0、3.56和0.95.定量PCR结果显示未处理的农村污水中弓形菌数量高达(1.09±0.064 0)×1011copies·L-1,该结果与克隆文库结果均表明弓形菌在污水中确实占较高比例.与未处理的农村污水相比,处理后的出水中所监测的弓形菌及细菌总拷贝数分别减少了2~3个数量级,说明MBR处理系统在一定程度上能够去除微生物.处理后的再生水理化指标及指示菌卫生指标均符合农田灌溉用水标准,但其中残留病原微生物引发的健康风险仍需进一步评价.     

Continuous desulfurization and bacterial community structure of an integrated bioreactor developed to treat SO2 from a gas stream

Sulfide dioxide(SO2) is often released during the combustion processes of fossil fuels. An integrated bioreactor with two sections, namely, a suspended zone(SZ) and immobilized zone(IZ), was applied to treat SO2 for 6 months. Sampling ports were set in both sections to investigate the performance and microbial characteristics of the integrated bioreactor. SO2 was effectively removed by the synergistic effect of the SZ and IZ, and more than 85%removal efficiency was achieved at steady state. The average elimination capacity of SO2 in the bioreactor was 2.80 g/(m3·hr) for the SZ and 1.50 g/(m3· hr) for the IZ. Most SO2 was eliminated in the SZ. The liquid level of the SZ and the water content ratio of the packing material in the IZ affected SO2 removal efficiency. The SZ served a key function not only in SO2 elimination, but also in moisture maintenance for the IZ. The desired water content in IZ could be feasibly maintained without any additional pre-humidification facilities. Clone libraries of 16 S r DNA directly amplified from the DNA of each sample were constructed and sequenced to analyze the community composition and diversity in the individual zones.The desulfurization bacteria dominated both zones. Paenibacillus sp. was present in both zones, whereas Ralstonia sp. existed only in the SZ. The transfer of SO2 to the SZ involved dissolution in the nutrient solution and biodegradation by the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria.This work presents a potential biological treatment method for waste gases containing hydrophilic compounds.

为对工业废水中的萘进行高效的生物处理,采集某石油工业废水处理装置的厌氧活性污泥,以萘和萘与乳酸钠为电子供体进行驯化培养.当一个驯化周期中萘去除率达到90%以上时,研究间歇反应条件下分别以萘和萘与乳酸钠为电子供体时的降解动力学,并提取去除率高的污泥中微生物总DNA,构建16S rDNA基因片段克隆文库分析细菌群落结构.结果表明,以单一萘为电子供体时萘的降解率远远小于萘与乳酸钠共代谢时的降解率;两种驯化模式下萘浓度与时间符合一级反应动力学,动力学常数K分别为3.5×10-3h-1和16×10-3h-1.萘与乳酸钠共代谢污泥中细菌类群主要为Deltaproteobacteria、Thermotogae、Bacteroidetes、Chloroflexi和Unclassified bacteria,其中Deltaproteobacteria类细菌占主导地位.在成熟的厌氧活性污泥中Desulfobulbus sp.所占比例为24.2%;Kosmotoga占21.0%.此外,反应器中还存在Smithella、Syntrophobacter、Levilinea等细菌.对厌氧活性污泥中细菌多样性的研究有利于优化反应条件,从而提高污泥中萘的去除率.

艾比湖湿地盐节木根际土壤氨氧化微生物多样性和丰度及其与环境因子的相关性分析

氨氧化反应是硝化作用的关键步骤,参与这一反应的微生物是氨氧化细菌(AOB)和氨氧化古菌(AOA).对新疆艾比湖湿地盐节木根际和非根际土壤的氨氧化微生物进行群落结构和丰度分析,并探究其与土壤理化因子的相关性.同时,以氨单加氧酶基因(amo A)为分子标记,构建克隆文库和测序并与q-PCR法结合研究AOA、AOB的群落结构和丰度,利用Pearson相关分析法探究其与环境因子的相关性.结果表明,根际土壤中AOB的多样性高于AOA,amo A基因序列多属于土壤/水体沉积物分支,AOB克隆文库中的所有序列均属于亚硝化单胞菌属(Nitrosomonas).根际土壤中AOA amo A和AOB amo A的数量分别为2.09×104和2.91×105copies·g~(-1),AOB/AOA的比值为13.9;非根际土壤中AOA amo A和AOB amo A的数量分别为3.85×104和4.76×105copies·g~(-1),AOB/AOA的比值为12.36.相关分析显示,氨氧化微生物的群落结构和丰度与电导率(EC)、有机质(OM)、速效氮(AN)、氨氮(NH_4~+-N)和总氮(TN)等环境因子显著相关.这些结果表明,根际土壤中AOB的群落多样性高于AOA,根际和非根际土壤中AOB的丰度均高于AOA,说明在艾比湖湿地AOB是氨氧化微生物的优势种群,且EC、OM、AN、NH_4~+-N和TN可能会影响氨氧化微生物的群落结构和丰度.     

DNA和cDNA水平对比研究施肥对稻田土壤细菌多样性的影响

依托长沙农业环境观测研究站不同施肥方式长期定位试验,直接从土壤中抽提总DNA和RNA,应用T-RFLP和RTPCR技术在DNA和c DNA水平对比研究施肥对亚热带稻田土壤细菌丰度和群落结构的影响.结果表明,施肥和秸秆还田显著改变了土壤细菌群落组成(DNA水平)和转录组成(c DNA水平)结构,且不同处理中DNA水平的T-RFLP图谱与cDNA水平相差很大.施肥和秸秆还田降低了土壤中存在的细菌多样性,对土壤中转录的细菌多样性没有影响.土壤16S rRNA基因丰度(DNA水平)平均是其转录丰度(c DNA水平)的337倍,与不施氮肥处理(N0)相比,平衡施肥(NPK)没有改变土壤细菌的数量,在平衡施肥的基础上进行秸秆还田增加了土壤细菌的数量,但高量与低量秸秆还田没有显著差异.RDA分析表明,稻田土壤中铵态氮含量是调控各处理土壤中存在及转录的细菌群落的关键因子.总体而言,不管在DNA还是c DNA水平,研究施肥对土壤细菌丰度的影响均是可行并可信的;但只有在c DNA水平开展研究,才能有效发现细菌群落对环境的适应性.
