Estimation of Contamination Sources of Human Enteroviruses in a Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation System by PCR–DGGE

A polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR–DGGE) method was employed to estimate the contamination sources of human enteroviruses and understand how their dominant strains vary in a wastewater treatment and reclamation system consisting of sewage collection, wastewater treatment with membrane bioreactor and open lakes for reclaimed water storage and reuse. After PCR–DGGE using a selected primer set targeting enteroviruses, phylogenetic analysis of acquired enterovirus gene sequences was performed. Enteroviruses identified from the septic tank were much more diverse than those from grey water and kitchen wastewater. Several unique types of enterovirus different from those in wastewater samples were dominant in a biological wastewater treatment unit. Membrane filtration followed by chlorination was proved effective for physically eliminating enteroviruses; however, secondary contamination likely occurred as the reclaimed water was stored in artificial lakes. Enterovirus 71 (EV71), a hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) viral pathogen, was detected mainly from the artificial lakes, implying that wastewater effluent was not the contamination source of EV71 and that there were unidentified non-point sources of the contamination with the HFMD viral pathogen in the reclaimed water stored in the artificial lakes. The PCR–DGGE targeting enteroviruses provided robust evidence about viral contamination sources in the wastewater treatment and reclamation system.

为了揭示水源水库沉积物中的营养元素分布对水体富营养化的影响,以周村水库为研究对象,采用现场取样及实验室分析方法,探究了沉积物中营养元素的分布特征,并对TOC与TN、TP的相关性进行了分析,同时参考沉积物质量评价指南并采用综合污染指数对沉积物的污染状况进行了评价.结果表明,周村水库研究区域沉积物TOC含量均随深度增加而下降,而沉积物中氮负荷有增加的趋势,磷则表现出表层富集现象,表明周村水库沉积物营养盐负荷在加重;TOC与TN、TP存在较好的相关性,相关系数分别为r=0.68(P0.01)、r=0.89(P0.01),TOC/TN值表明,纤维束植物碎屑是水库沉积物有机质的主要来源;综合污染指数评价结果表明,3个采样点表层沉积物均达到重度污染程度,表层沉积物中TN、TP含量分别为3 273~4 870 mg·kg~(-1)、653~2 969 mg·kg~(-1),TOC含量为45.65~83.00mg·g~(-1),均超过沉积物质量评价指南规定的引发最低级别生态毒性效应的标准值,周村水库沉积物存在较大安全风险,水体面临富营养化威胁.

Biodegradation of N,N-dimethylacetamide by Rhodococcus sp. strain B83 isolated from the rhizosphere of pagoda tree

The biodegradation characteristic and potential metabolic pathway for removal of environmental N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) by Rhodococcus sp. strain B83 was studied. Rhodococcus sp. strain B83 was isolated from the rhizosphere of a pagoda tree and proved capable of utilizing DMAC as sole source of carbon and nitrogen. Batch culture studies showed that strain B83 could tolerate up to 25 g/L DMAC and showed distinct growth on possible catabolic intermediates except for acetate. The nitrogen balance analysis revealed that approximately 71% of the initial nitrogen was converted to organic nitrogen. DMAC degradation has led to accumulation of acetate and organic nitrogen, meanwhile traces of nitrate and ammonia was build-up but without nitrite. The growth of strain B83 could be inhibited by adding exogenous acetate. By means of the assay of enzymatic degradation of DMAC, several catabolic intermediates at different intervals were observed and identified. Based on the results obtained from culture solution and enzymatic degradation assay, a detailed pathway is proposed for DMAC biodegradation.

为研究如何控制部分亚硝化系统的稳定性,在高氨氮负荷[1 kg·(m~3·d)~(-1)]和不同的双重抑制策略下启动并连续运行两个序批式反应器(sequencing batch reactors,SBRs).结果表明在温度35℃±1℃,进水氨氮负荷为1 kg·(m~3·d)~(-1)的条件下,FA和DO的双重抑制和FNA和DO的双重抑制均可成功实现高氨氮废水稳定的部分亚硝化,出水NO-2-N/NH+4-N接近1,NO-3-N浓度接近于零,满足ANAMMOX反应的进水基质要求.R1反应器在DO和FA的控制策略下,亚硝氮氧化速率从28.16mg·(g·h)~(-1)减小到0.3 mg·(g·h)~(-1)(以NO-2-N计,下同),而氨氧化速率减小43.60%,最终稳定在20 mg·(g·h)~(-1)(以NH+4-N计,下同)左右.R2反应器在DO和FNA的控制策略下,亚硝氮氧化速率从12.37 mg·(g·h)~(-1)降至0.02 mg·(g·h)~(-1),而氨氧化速率仍维持在较高水平[45 mg·(g·h)~(-1)].DO和FNA双重抑制的系统与DO和高FA双重抑制的系统相比,具有富集时间短,AOB活性高,运行稳定性强等优点,更适用于启动部分亚硝化系统及维持系统稳定性.
