低耗、高效的反硝化除磷技术一直是废水生物脱氮除磷领域的研究热点之一[1-2]。然而, 已有研究[3]过多地关注反硝化除磷工艺效能而忽略了在微生物学方面的深入研究。尽管以往有研究者对反硝化除磷菌(denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating organisms, DPAOs)进行了研究[4-5], 但受限于当时的微生物检测技术, 对反硝化除磷菌的研究仍不够深入。高通量测序技术作为新型微生物种群鉴定技术, 具有分析结果准确、高速、高灵敏度和高自动化等特点, 可以准确的分析生物多样性, 故广泛应用于环境微生物鉴定领域[6-7]。因此采用高通量测序技术作为考察反硝化除磷微生物群落演替规律的手段不失为一个良好的技术选择, 但同时微生物在系统中的种群特征的研究也有待进一步的深入开展。已有的研究表明, 在反硝化除磷系统中的一些优势菌属, 如气单胞菌属(Aeromonas)、假单胞菌属(Pseudomonas)、肠杆菌科等都具有反硝化除磷功能[8], 它们的存在为解释系统效能的变化提供了理论支撑。
厌氧折流板反应器(anaerobic baffled reactor, ABR)具有构造简单、能耗低、抗冲击负荷能力强、处理效率高以及可实现生物相分离等优点[9-10], 膜生物反应器(membrane bioreactor, MBR)则具有利于世代时间长的硝化细菌的增殖, 从而提高硝化效率的优点[11]。因此, 采用ABR-MBR研究反硝化除磷工艺在培养DPAOs以及研究不同功能区微生物的细菌群落特征方面具有显著优势[12]。
本研究采用Miseq高通量测序手段对ABR-MBR组合工艺中除磷功能区的细菌群落特征进行分析, 以期从微生物多样性、种群丰度及优势菌群分布方面为系统效能的变化提供理论支撑, 为反硝化除磷工艺应用于工程实践提供理论依据, 为开发新型的脱氮除磷工艺提供技术支持。

Abstract: In order to reveal the microbial population evolution of denitrifying phosphorus removal in a lab-scale ABR-MBR combined process, the Miseq high-throughput sequencing technology was used to identify the microbial community structure in phosphorus removal functional zone at different operation stages of the process. Results indicated that the gradual increase of the nitrifying solution reflux ratio from 150% to 300% could promote a large enrichment of denitrifying phosphorus bacteria (DPBs), as well as the startup and stable operation of the system. The system maintained high microbial diversity throughout the operation. The dominant phyla were Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, and their maximum abundances were 55.13% and 7.76%, respectively. The main subgroups of the Proteobacteria were related to Gamaproteobacteria. The functional phosphorus removal bacteria were Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and Flavobacterium. Of which Aeromonas was largely enriched during the gradual increase of the nitrifying solution reflux ratio. Its relative abundance in the γ-Proteobacteria phylum (Gamaproteobacteria) increased from 5.30% to 41.49%, and remained dominant in the subsequent operation of the system. The phosphorus removal efficiency of the system was closely related to the change in the relative abundance of functional phosphorus removal microorganisms. The diversity of microbial population and the structural stability of functional microorganisms in the system provided a guarantee for the stable operation and efficient performance of ABR-MBR process.
