Anaerobic biotransformation of these chlorinated compounds was observed in microcosms simulating site conditions, particularly when an electron donor was added. To disentangle specific transformation reactions, subcultures from active anaerobic microcosms were enriched with individual DCA or DCNB isomers. In these single-compound enrichment cultures, DCNB isomers were reduced to the corresponding DCA. Each DCA isomer was stoichiometrically dechlorinated to the corresponding monochloroaniline (CA) isomers. Further dechlorination of CA to aniline was noted. The reduction of DCNB to DCA was sustained by known fermenters and possibly <i>Desulfitobacterium</i>, while <i>Dehalobacter</i> was clearly responsible for the dechlorination of DCAs. These findings helped attribute function to the microbial community data retrieved from field samples to improve the conceptual site model and enable the identification of bioactive zones and rate-limiting conditions at a complex site. More generally, these data broaden the understanding of the metabolic repertoire of <i>Dehalobacter</i> and provide a model for incorporating microbial community data into site remediation efforts.</p>","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":" ","pages":"15251-15260"},"PeriodicalIF":11.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144635726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Although comammox bacteria, particularly <i>Candidatus</i> Nitrospira nitrosa, are prevalent with significant activities in wastewater treatment systems, their physiological and biochemical properties, particularly growth substrates-based kinetics, are yet to be fully disclosed. To this end, we first attempted to enrich <i>Ca.</i> N. nitrosa in a laboratory-scale continuous stirred tank reactor fed with mainstream-level ammonium. Following the 40 d operation, a suite of microbial analyses jointly confirmed the unprecedentedly rapid specific enrichment and absolute dominance of <i>Ca.</i> N. nitrosa with the entire gene repertoire needed for completing the full nitrification process in the sludge. Dedicated batch tests then revealed and validated the affinity constants of <i>Ca.</i> N. nitrosa for total ammonium, nitrite and oxygen (0.393 ± 0.058 mg-N/L, 0.365 ± 0.001 mg-N/L and 0.006 ± 0.001 mg-O<sub>2</sub>/L, respectively), demonstrating high affinities for substrates that could underpin its widely reported competitive presence and functionality in wastewater treatment systems. This work provides the first kinetic characterization of <i>Ca.</i> N. nitrosa, complementing the currently limited understanding of the comammox process while enabling a better evaluation of its important role in the nitrogen cycle across diverse environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":" ","pages":"15272-15281"},"PeriodicalIF":11.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144647980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

This study presents Pre_seg, a Raman spectral processing algorithm integrated with regenerable anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane sensors, for ultrasensitive, rapid, and quantitative NP detection at the single-particle level. The AAO membranes function as both filtration substrates and Raman sensors, reducing sample loss and contamination. Pre_seg incorporates statistically determined thresholds for signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and full width at half maximums (fwhms) across segmented spectral ranges, effectively minimizing noise and enhancing accuracy and sensitivity of NP detection. Pre_seg achieved 93.5% prediction accuracy of NPs and ≥90.4% rejection accuracy for non-NP entries. Mixed NPs were quantified at the lowest concentration of 0.5 μg L-1. The robustness of Pre_seg was validated in eutrophic and oligotrophic lake matrices following oxidation digestion pretreatment to mitigate organic interferences. Furthermore, the AAO membrane sensors demonstrated stability through multiple regeneration and reuse cycles. This innovative approach advances NP detection by enabling scalable, customizable, and environmentally relevant monitoring.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144720160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
