Advanced simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal for non-sterile wastewater through a novel coupled yeast-sludge system: Performance, microbial interaction, and mechanism
A novel coupled yeast-sludge system (CYSS) was constructed by the yeast Candida sp. PNY integrated with activated sludge to treat non-sterile mainstream wastewater. After 240-day cultivation, compared with single activated sludge , simultaneous removal efficiency of total organic carbon (TOC), nitrogen and phosphorus increased by 19.5% (176.34 mg TOC g −1 d −1 ), 21.3% (11.25 mg TN g −1 d −1 ) and 15.0% (6.95 mg TP g −1 d −1 ), respectively, while the amount of sludge reduced by 50%. Amplicon sequencing analysis showed that the abundance of Nitrosomonas , Nitrospira , Zoogloea , Dechloromonas , and Candidatus Accumulibacter significantly decreased to 0% on Day 200. Abundance of nirS and nirK for denitrification significantly decreased in CYSS by quantitative PCR (qPCR), and the copies of nirS and nirK were 3.37-fold and 1.71-fold decrease from Day 0 to Day 240, respectively. The results of Fluorescence in situ hybridization and co-occurrence network showed that Candida sp. PNY predominated its distribution in CYSS, and strongly connected with environmental variables based on network analysis. Furthermore, this study reconstructed the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus metabolic pathways of the CYSS based on metagenomics .
