ABSTRACT
In constructed wetlands (CWs), carbon source availability profoundly affected microbial metabolic activities engaged in both iron cycle and nitrogen metabolism. However, research gaps existed in understanding the biotransformation of nitrogen and iron in response to fluctuations in organic carbon content under day-night alterations. Results demonstrated increased removal efficiency of NO3--N (95.7 %) and NH4+-N (75.70 %) under light conditions, attributed to increased total organic carbon (TOC). This enhancement promoted the relative abundance of bacteria involved in nitrogen and iron processes, establishing a more stable microbial network. Elevated TOC content also upregulated genes for iron metabolism and glycolysis, facilitating denitrification. Spearman correlation analysis supported the synergistic mechanisms between FeS2-based autotrophic denitrification and TOC-mediated heterotrophic denitrification under light conditions. The significant impact of carbon sources on microbial activities underscores the critical role of organic carbon availability in enhancing nitrogen removal efficiency, providing valuable insights for optimizing FeS2-based CWs design and operation strategies.
