ABSTRACT
The differences of cultured organism species, aquaculture model and supervisor mode lead to different carbon/nitrogen ratios in mariculture wastewater. Therefore, the performance, microbial community and enzymatic activity of sequencing batch biofilm reactor were compared in treating synthetic mariculture wastewater at different chemical oxygen demand/nitrogen (COD/N) ratios. Compared with COD/N ratio of 6, the ammonia-oxidizing rate and nitrite-oxidizing rate at COD/N ratio of 5, 4 and 3 increased by 3.66 % and 3.08 %, 11.19 % and 14.95 %, and 24.50 % and 32.54 %, respectively. Similarly, the ammonia monooxygenase and nitrite oxidoreductase activities increased by 3.50 % and 6.76 %, 11.09 % and 16.22 %, and 25.43 % and 39.19 % at COD/N ratio at 5, 4 and 3, respectively. However, the denitrifying rate and denitrification enzymatic activity declined with the decrease of C/N ratio from 6 to 3. The production, protein content and polysaccharide content of loosely bound extracellular polymeric substances (LB-EPS) and tightly bound EPS (TB-EPS) reduced with the decrease of COD/N ratio from 6 to 3. The abundance of nitrifying genera increased with the decrease of COD/N ratio from 6 to 3, whereas most of denitrification genera displayed a decreasing trend. The microbial co-occurrence pattern, keystone taxa and significant difference were altered with the decrease of COD/N ratio. Among the keystone taxa, Thauera, Denitromonas, Nitrosomonas and Denitratisoma had a close link with nitrogen transformation. The present results can provide some theoretical basis for evaluating the effect of carbon/nitrogen ratio on the nitrogen removal of biological wastewater treatment systems.
