| Popis: | Contrary to the fact that NO3--N can serve as electron acceptor to promote organics degradation, it was also found NO3--N reduction does not necessarily promote organics degradation. We speculate nitrogen (N) species may control the interaction between NO3--N reduction and organics degradation via shifting related microbial community structure. To prove the hypothesis, oxic-anoxic transition zone (OATZ) microcosms simulated by lake water and sediment were conducted with the addition of N species (NO3--N, NO2--N, and NH4+-N) and aniline as typical organics. High-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the microbial community structure and functional enzyme in the microcosms. Results show that, NO2--N inhibited NO3--N reduction while enhanced aniline degradation. For NH4+-N, it promoted NO3--N reduction when NH4+-N/NO3--N concentration ratio ≤ 2 and inhibited aniline degradation when NH4+-N/aniline concentration ratio ≥ 0.5. The presence of NO2--N or NH4+-N weakened the interaction between NO3--N reduction and aniline degradation, which might be caused by significant changes in the diversity and abundance of microbial communities controlled by N species. The microbial mechanism indicates that NO2--N weakened the interaction by affecting both denitrification enzyme activity and electron transfer capability, while NH4+-N weakened the interaction mainly by affecting electron transfer capability. These results imply that N species, as well as other electron acceptors and donors, in the contaminated OATZ should be fully considered, when performing in situ remediation technology of NO3--N reduction. |
