Abstract Microbial communities mediating anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) represent one of the most energy-efficient environmental biotechnologies for nitrogen removal from wastewater. However, little is known about functional role heterotrophic bacteria play in anammox granules. Here, we use genome-centric metagenomics to recover 17 draft genomes and a laboratory-scale bioreactor. We combine metabolic network reconstruction with metatranscriptomics examine gene expression identify...
Anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) combined with partial nitritation (PN) is an innovative treatment process for energy-efficient nitrogen removal from wastewater. In this study, we used genome-based metagenomics to investigate the overall community structure and anammox species enriched in suspended growth (SGR) attached packed-bed (AGR) reactors after 220 days of operation. Both removed more than 85% total inorganic nitrogen. Metagenomic binning phylogenetic analysis revealed that two...
To demonstrate elimination of bacterial biofilm on membranes to represent wastewater treatment as well formed by antibiotic-resistant (ARB) signify medical application, an bacterium and its lytic bacteriophage were isolated from a full-scale plant. Based gram staining complete 16 S rDNA sequencing, the showed more than 99% homology with Delftia tsuruhatensis, gram-negative belonging β-proteobacteria. The phage's draft genome revealed phage be N4-like 59.7% G + C content. No transfer RNAs...
Abstract Community-associated acquisition of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- (ESBL) and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae has significantly increased in recent years, necessitating greater inquiry into potential exposure routes, including food water sources. In high-income countries, drinking is often neglected as a possible source community to antibiotic-resistant organisms. We screened coliform-positive tap samples (n = 483) from public private systems six states the United...
The potential for simultaneous sludge minimization and enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) in Cannibal solids reduction processes was investigated. To simulate a Cannibal-EBPR system, sequencing batch reactor (SBR) operated with anaerobic aerobic cycles coupled an sidestream bioreactor, which received mixed liquor from the SBR returned same amount of treated back to SBR. biomass yield system estimated be 0.16mg volatile suspended (VSS)/mg chemical oxygen demand, represented 16–33%...
