Feedback inhibition derived from hydrogen sulfide in microbial sulfidogenic process via elemental sulfur disproportionation
Elemental sulfur disproportionation (S0Disp), a key sulfidogenic process, has not only been known to play significant roles in biogeochemical sulfur cycles but has also received increasing attention in various wastewater treatment systems. For a sulfidogenic process, understanding the feedback inhibition (FBI) derived from the sulfide it produces is essential and fundamental, while this issue has yet to be systematically studied within the context of S0Disp. In this study, the FBI for S0Disp was investigated in Desulfocapsa-enriched mixed cultures. H2S was identified as the form of sulfide to bring about the FBI directly, which has a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50-H2S) and an almost complete inhibitory concentration (ICthreshold-H2S) at 22 mg-S/L and 40 mg-S/L, respectively. The ICthreshold-H2S was also found to be a critical concentration in governing the FBI from reversible to irreversible. Furthermore, based on the metatranscriptomic analysis, the possible metabolic pathways of S0Disp were proposed, implying the mechanism of H2S-derived FBI may be involved in the deactivation of heme-functional enzymes (e.g., dsrAB, qmoABC, and sox) and the substrate (persulfide) deficiency of the hdrABC-catalyzed reaction. The findings of this study will not only help to better understand the S0Disp-involved natural water systems but can also guide the optimization of the S0Disp-related wastewater treatment systems.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
