RESUMO
Due to the molecular complexity of dissolving organic matter (DOM), the vertical molecular distribution of riparian soil DOM (especially dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP)) in different land use types and their relationship with the bacterial community is still unclear. This study analyzed the spectral characteristics of riparian soil DOM from 0 to 100 cm in wild grassland, agricultural land, and bare land. The molecular distribution of DOM was revealed through Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) and the specific relationship between DOM and bacterial community composition (BCC) was evaluated. The results showed that the DOM in the upper soil layer (0-40 cm) was mainly composed of recalcitrant macromolecular organics, while that in the lower layer (40-100 cm) was labile small molecular organics. In agricultural land, the total storage of DOM was lower than that in wild grassland, but with a higher abundance of recalcitrant organic carbon (lignin, etc.). At the same time, the bacterial community in agricultural land is shifting towards copiotrophs. In addition, the abundance of labile C degrading genes increases with nitrate as the main electron acceptor. However, sulfates are mainly used as electron acceptors in wild grasslands. Both DOP and DON were dominated by lignin and displayed higher chemical diversity in the upper soil. The bioavailability of DOP in three types of soil is higher than that of DON. DOM-BCC network analysis shows that the recalcitrant DON and DOP molecules in soil are positively correlated with phylum Actinobacteriota in agricultural land. These results emphasize that the DOM molecular characteristics were closely related to the function of the soil bacterial community.

The practical application of solid phase denitrification (SPD) was hindered by either poor water quality from natural plant-like materials or high cost of pure synthetic biodegradable polymers. In this study, by combining polycaprolactone (PCL) with new natural materials (peanut shell, sugarcane bagasse), two novel economical solid carbon sources (SCSs) named as PCL/PS and PCL/SB were developed. Pure PCL and PCL/TPS (PCL with thermal plastic starch) were supplied as controls. During the 162-day operation, especially in the shortest HRT (2 h), higher NO3--N removal was achieved by PCL/PS (87.60%±0.06%) and PCL/SB (87.93%±0.05%) compared to PCL (83.28%±0.07%) and PCL/TPS (81.83%±0.05%). The predicted abundance of functional enzymes revealed the potential metabolism pathways of major components of SCSs. The natural components entered the glycolytic cycle by enzymatical generation of intermediates, while biopolymers being converted into small molecule products under specific enzyme activities (i.e., carboxylesterase, aldehyde dehydrogenase), together providing electrons and energy for denitrification.
