Environmental factors can affect the distribution and activity of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOM), including ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), and complete ammonia oxidizer (comammox <em>Nitrospira</em>). At present, most studies have used <em>amoA</em> as a marker gene for the ammonia oxidation process to analyze the differences among AOM community composition and abundance in the environment. In this study, metagenomic sequencing was used to study the differences in community composition and functional gene distribution of nitrifying microorganisms in the sediments of Lake Taihu with different eutrophication levels. It was found that comammox <em>Nitrospira</em> and typical nitrite oxidizer NOB <em>Nitrospira</em>, which belong to Nitrospirota, had higher relative abundance at most sites compared to AOB and AOA. Furthermore, the network analysis of genes related to nitrogen cycle showed that the main survival mode of nitrogen metabolizing microorganisms was mutualism. Besides, the microbial genomes in the sediments of Lake Taihu were reconstructed by metagenomic binning, which showed that among the 167 bins obtained, 2 bins (bin 9 and bin 32) were annotated as comammox <em>Nitrospira</em>, and had high abundance in the macrophytes-dominated lakes (such as South Lake Taihu and West Coast). In addition, bin 9, which belongs to comammox <em>Nitrospira</em>, annotates <em>amoA</em> genes associated with ammonia oxidation, and other genes associated with urea decomposition and transport, suggesting functional diversity. Overall, these findings suggest that AOM have different distribution characteristics, among which comammox <em>Nitrospira</em> has high diversity and may be potentially dominant in macrophytes-dominated lakes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":13643,"journal":{"name":"International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141486406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Natural ecosystems provide opportunities to investigate the structure, connectivity, and assembly processes of prokaryotic communities. Saline lakes, mangroves, ocean margins, cold seeps, and open oceans as five distinct natural ecosystems exhibit varied levels of salinity and nutrient condition (carbon sources, electron donors, and electron acceptors). Based on the analysis of 197 sets of published 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data on sediment samples of the five habitats, differences in salinity and nutrient conditions were identified to play a critical role in governing the composition, connectivity, and assembly process of prokaryotic communities. Specifically, unique prokaryotic community patterns were observed in these habitats, e.g., mangrove sediment communities were shown to have the highest alpha diversity and the lowest community-level ribosomal RNA gene operon (<em>rrn</em>) copy numbers, compared to the open ocean sediment communities. Positive correlation predominated connections (&gt;80% of total connections) of the prokaryotic microbial networks in the five habitats. Communities within nutrient-rich saline lake and cold seep sediments exhibit the strongest and closest connections. Using the dissimilarity-overlap curve and null model, differences in composition, connectivity, and assembly process were found to be predominantly governed by deterministic forces.

In this study, a series of experiments were carried out under different total ammonia concentrations (TAN, 0.18–20 g N/L) and pH conditions (7.0–8.0) to investigate the inhibition of butyrate anaerobic degradation by different ammonia species (NH₄⁺ and NH₃) and to assess the recoverability following severe ammonia inhibition. The findings indicate that at pH 7.5, butyrate degradation experienced remarkable inhibition when TAN exceeded 8.0 g N/L, while no discernible impact was observed at pH 7.0–8.0 and 4.0 g TAN/L. Additionally, the lag phase for butyrate degradation extended with increasing TAN concentration. Notably, the activity of butyrate-degrading bacteria exhibited full recovery from severe ammonia inhibition (TAN 20 g N/L or NH₃ 779.2 mg N/L), provided prolonged adaption time was allowed. The analysis using a modified Monod inhibition model highlighted that NH₄⁺ contributed more to inhibition than NH₃ at TAN concentrations of 2.0–20.0 g N/L. Therefore, simply reducing pH levels would not adequately counteract ammonia inhibition. Implementing an extended hydraulic retention time emerges as an effective measure to reduce butyrate accumulation in anaerobic digestion systems, particularly the feedstock being nitrogen-rich materials (e.g., animal manure).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":13643,"journal":{"name":"International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0964830524001185/pdfft?md5=d37abe4af40677dc11727c285ca078b3&pid=1-s2.0-S0964830524001185-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141434997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) values obtained for the Freundlich isotherm validate it as the optimal model, indicating heterogeneous multilayered sorption with efficiency ranging from 44% to 100%.
