Genome-resolved metagenomic analysis reveals different functional potentials of multiple Candidatus Brocadia species in a full-scale swine wastewater treatment system

● Four Ca. Brocadia species were observed during the spontaneously enrichment. ● Novel anammox species SW510 and SW773 dominated the full-scale ecosystem. ● Urease and cyanase genes were detected in the new anammox genomes. ● Functional differentiation potentially facilitated co-occurrence of anammox species. The increasing application of anammox processes suggests their enormous potential for nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment facilities. However, the functional potentials and ecological differentiation of cooccurring anammox species in complex ecosystems have not been well elucidated. Herein, by utilizing functional reconstruction and comparative genome analysis, we deciphered the cooccurring mechanisms of four Candidatus Brocadia species that were spontaneously enriched in a full-scale swine wastewater treatment system. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that species SW172 and SW745 were closely related to Ca. Brocadia caroliniensis and Ca. Brocadia sapporoensis, respectively, whereas the dominant species SW510 and SW773, with a total average abundance of 34.1%, were classified as novel species of the genus Ca. Brocadia. Functional reconstruction revealed that the novel species SW510 can encode both cytochrome cd₁-type nitrite reductase and hydroxylamine oxidase for nitrite reduction. In contrast, the detected respiratory pentaheme cytochrome c nitrite reductase and acetate kinase genes suggested that SW773 likely reduced nitrite to ammonium with acetate as a carbon source. Intriguingly, the presence of genes encoding urease and cyanase indicated that both novel species can use diverse organic nitrogen compounds in addition to ammonia and nitrite as substrates. Taken together, the recovery and comparative analysis of these anammox genomes expand our understanding of the functional differentiation and cooccurrence of the genus Ca. Brocadia in wastewater treatment systems.     

Bacteria inactivation by sulfate radical: progress and non-negligible disinfection by-products

● Status of inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms by SO₄^•− is reviewed. ● Mechanism of SO₄^•− disinfection is outlined. ● Possible generation of DBPs during disinfection using SO₄^•− is discussed. ● Possible problems and challenges of using SO₄^•− for disinfection are presented. Sulfate radicals have been increasingly used for the pathogen inactivation due to their strong redox ability and high selectivity for electron-rich species in the last decade. The application of sulfate radicals in water disinfection has become a very promising technology. However, there is currently a lack of reviews of sulfate radicals inactivated pathogenic microorganisms. At the same time, less attention has been paid to disinfection by-products produced by the use of sulfate radicals to inactivate microorganisms. This paper begins with a brief overview of sulfate radicals’ properties. Then, the progress in water disinfection by sulfate radicals is summarized. The mechanism and inactivation kinetics of inactivating microorganisms are briefly described. After that, the disinfection by-products produced by reactions of sulfate radicals with chlorine, bromine, iodide ions and organic halogens in water are also discussed. In response to these possible challenges, this article concludes with some specific solutions and future research directions.

Formation mechanisms of nitrous acid (HONO) during the haze and non-haze periods in Beijing, China

As an important precursor of hydroxyl radical (OH), nitrous acid (HONO) plays a significant role in atmospheric chemistry. Here, an observation of HONO and relevant air pollutants in an urban site of Beijing from 14 to 28 April, 2017 was performed. Two distinct peaks of HONO concentrations occurred during the observation. In contrast, the concentration of particulate matter in the first period (period Ⅰ) was significantly higher than that in the second period (period Ⅱ). Comparing to HONO sources in the two periods, we found that the direct vehicle emission was an essential source of the ambient HONO during both periods at night, especially in period Ⅱ. The heterogeneous reaction of NO₂ was the dominant source in period Ⅰ, while the homogeneous reaction of NO with OH was more critical source at night in period Ⅱ. In the daytime, the heterogeneous reaction of NO₂ was a significant source and was confirmed by the good correlation coefficients (R²) between the unknown sources (P_unknown) with NO₂, PM_2.5, NO₂ × PM_2.5 in period Ⅰ. Moreover, when solar radiation and OH radicals were considered to explore unknown sources in the daytime, the enhanced correlation of P_unknown with photolysis rate of NO₂ and OH ($J_{{\mathrm{NO}}_2}$ × OH) were 0.93 in period Ⅰ, 0.95 in period Ⅱ. These excellent correlation coefficients suggested that the unknown sources released HONO highly related to the solar radiation and the variation of OH radicals.     

数字经济何以推动乡村生态振兴？——基于中国省级面板数据的经验证据

数字经济具有生态化的本质，是提高乡村生态演进韧性、全面推进乡村振兴的关键动力。在系统梳理数字经济对乡村生态振兴影响的直接机制、中介机制基础上，本文利用2010—2020年省级面板数据，运用固定效应模型、中介效应模型等方法，多维度实证考察了数字经济对乡村生态振兴的影响机制。研究结果表明：数字经济发展显著推动了乡村生态振兴，在运用分时间段检验、剔除特殊值方法进行稳健性检验后，该结论仍然成立。数字经济发展对乡村“三生”环境的影响大小有所差异，对乡村生活绿色宜居化的影响最大，对乡村生产绿色低碳化的影响次之，对乡村生态本底品质化的影响最小。中介效应显示，农村经济增长、绿色科技创新和环境规制都是数字经济助力生态振兴的重要机制。异质性分析表明，数字经济影响乡村生态振兴的效应大小呈现出“西部>中部>东部”态势，总体上，中西部地区数字经济的绿色赋能效应更为显著。因此，应强化农村数字基础设施建设，充分发挥数字经济在农村生态经济增长点培育、企业绿色科技创新及环境监管、宣教引导等方面的作用，因地制宜以差异化的数字化策略提升赋能乡村生态振兴的有效性。
