Abstract
Genes nirS, nirK, and nosZ are specific for the denitrification process, which is associated with greenhouse gas N2O emission. The abundances and diversities of community containing these three genes are usually used as a common index to reflect the denitrification process, and they would be affected by differences in environmental factors caused by changes from warm to cold conditions. The quantification of denitrification in natural wetlands is complex, and straightforward identification of spatial distribution and drivers affecting the process is still developing. In this study, the bacterial communities, gene diversities, and relative abundances involved in denitrification were investigated in Liaohe Estuary Wetland. We analyzed the relative abundances, diversities, and communities of bacteria containing the three genes at warm and cold conditions using Illumina MiSeq sequencing and detected the potential environmental factors influencing their distribution by using a random forest algorithm. There are great differences in the community composition of the bacteria containing genes nirS, nirK, and nosZ. All the abundant taxa of nirS and nirK communities belonged to phylum Proteobacteria. Compared with the community composition of bacteria containing nirS and nirK, the community of bacteria containing nosZ is more diverse, and the subdivision taxa of phylum Euryarchaeota was also abundant in the community containing nosZ. The distribution characteristics of the relative abundance of nirS and nirK showed obvious differences both at warm and cold climate conditions. The oxidation-reduction potential, nitrite nitrogen, and salinity were detected as potential variables that might explain the diversity of nirS. The total nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen were the important variables for predicting the relative abundance of nirS at warm climate condition, while oxidation-reduction potential and pH contributed to the diversity of nirS at cold condition. The bulk density of sediment was detected as a potential variable affecting the relative abundance of nirK at warm and cold conditions, and diversity of nirK at warm condition, while nitrite nitrogen was detected as an important environmental factor for predicting the diversity of nirK at cold condition. Overall, our results show that the key environmental factors, which affect the relative abundance, diversity, and community of bacteria containing the functional denitrification genes, are not exactly the same, and the diversities of nirS, nirK, and nosZ have a higher environmental sensitivity than their relative abundances.

A novel hypothermic strain, Pseudomonas reactans WL20-3 with high nitrate removal from actual sewage, and its synergistic resistance mechanism for efficient nitrate removal at 4 °C.

Abstract
Nitrate can be well removed by bacteria at 25-30 °C. However, nitrate removal almost ceases at temperatures lower than 5 °C. In this study, a novel hypothermic strain, Pseudomonas reactans WL20-3 exhibited an excellent aerobic nitrate removal ability at 4 °C. It had high capability for the removal of nitrate, total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) at 4 °C, achieving removal efficiencies of 100%, 87.91%, and 97.48%, respectively. The transcriptome analysis revealed all genes involved in the nitrate removal pathway were significantly up-regulated. Additionally, the up-regulation of ABC transporter genes and down-regulation of respiratory chain genes cooperated with the nitrate metabolism pathway to resist low-temperature stress. In actual sewage, inoculated with WL20-3, the nitrate removal efficiency was found to be 70.70%. Overall, these findings demonstrated the impressive capacity of the novel strain WL20-3 to remove nitrate and provided novel insights into the synergistic resistance mechanism of WL20-3 at low temperature.

Efficient nitrogen removal by a novel extreme strain, Pseudomonas reactans WL20-3 under dual stresses of low temperature and high alkalinity: Characterization, mechanism, and application. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023:129465. [PMID: 37429553 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023]
Abstract
Although many studies report the resistance of heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) strains to single environmental stress, there is no research on its resistance to dual stresses of low temperature and high alkalinity. A novel bacterium Pseudomonas reactants WL20-3 isolated in this study showed removal efficiencies of 100%, 100%, and 97.76% for ammonium, nitrate, and nitrite, respectively, at 4 °C and pH 11.0. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the resistance of strain WL20-3 to dual stresses was attributed not only to the regulation of genes in the nitrogen metabolic pathway, but also to genes in other pathways such as the ribosome, oxidative phosphorylation, amino acid metabolism, and ABC transporters. Additionally, WL20-3 removed 83.98% of ammonium from actual wastewater at 4 °C and pH 11.0. This study isolated a novel strain WL20-3 with superior nitrogen removal under dual stresses and provided a molecular understanding of its tolerance mechanism to low temperature and high alkalinity.

Nitrogen Removal Characteristics of a Marine Denitrifying Pseudomonas stutzeri BBW831 and a Simplified Strategy for Improving the Denitrification Performance Under Stressful Conditions. MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 25:109-122. [PMID: 36446961 DOI: 10.1007/s10126-022-10185-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
A marine aerobic denitrifying bacterium was isolated and identified as Pseudomonas stutzeri BBW831 from the seabed silt of Beibu Gulf in China. According to the genome analysis, P. stutzeri BBW831 possessed a total of 14 genes (narG, narH, narI, narJ, napA, napB, nirB, nirD, nirS, norB, norC, norD, norQ, and nosZ) responsible for fully functional enzymes (nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, nitric oxide reductase, and nitrous oxide reductase) involved in the complete aerobic denitrification pathway, suggesting that it had the potential for reducing nitrate to the final N2. Denitrification results showed that P. stutzeri BBW831 exhibited efficient nitrogen removal characteristics. Within 12 h, the NO3--N removal efficiency and rate reached 94.64% and 13.09 mg·L-1·h-1 under 166.10 ± 3.75 mg/L NO3--N as the sole nitrogen source, and removal efficiency of the mixed nitrogen (50.50 ± 0.55, 62.28 ± 0.74, and 64.26 ± 0.90 mg/L of initial NH4+-N, NO3--N, and NO2--N, respectively) was nearly 100%. Furthermore, a simplified strategy, by augmenting the inoculation biomass, was developed for promoting the nitrogen removal performance under high levels of NO2--N and salinity. As a result, the removal efficiency of the initial NO2--N up to approximately 130 mg/L reached 99.46% within 8 h, and the NO3--N removal efficiency achieved at 59.46% under the NaCl concentration even up to 50 g/L. The C/N ratio of 10 with organic acid salt such as trisodium citrate and sodium acetate as the carbon source was most conducive for cell growth and nitrogen removal by P. stutzeri BBW831, respectively. In conclusion, the marine P. stutzeri BBW831 contained the functional genes responsible for a complete aerobic denitrification pathway (NO3--N → NO2--N → NO → N2O → N2), and had great potential for the practical treatment of high-salinity nitrogenous mariculture wastewater.

Abstract
Background: Although functional bacteria are widely used in aquaculture water treatment, whether they affect the indigenous microbiota and whether the impact is persistent remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to explore the denitrification effect of Pseudomonas furukawaii ZS1 isolated from a grass carp culture pond in nitrogen-rich aquaculture water, and determine whether its effect on the microbiota structure of the aquaculture water was persistent. Methods: Three each of treatment and control groups were set up, and P. furukawaii ZS1 was added to the treatment group. The concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, and nitrate, and the pH of each sample were measured for eight consecutive days. Changes of microbiota composition in the water were analysed via high-throughput sequencing. Results: Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate concentrations were substantially lower in the treatment group than in the control group. There were significant differences in the microbiota structure between treatment and control groups, especially on days 2–7 after adding P. furukawaii ZS1. Furthermore, significantly enriched bacterial genera in the treatment group were initially higher in number than inhibited genera, but subsequently reverted to being lower in number. Conclusions: These results provide theoretical guidance for the effective use of P. furukawaii ZS1 to control aquaculture water.
