Abstract Bacterial communities in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) affect plant functionality through their role in the removal of pollutants from wastewater. Bacterial communities vary extensively based on plant operating conditions and influent characteristics. The capacity of WWTPs can also affect the bacterial community via variations in the organic or nutrient composition of the influent. Despite the importance considering capacity, the characteristics that control bacterial community assembly are largely unknown. In this study, we discovered that bacterial communities in WWTPs in Korea and Vietnam, which differ remarkably in capacity, exhibit unique structures and interactions that are governed mainly by the capacity of WWTPs. Bacterial communities were analysed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and exhibited clear differences between the two regions, with these differences being most pronounced in activated sludge. We found that capacity contributed the most to bacterial interactions and community structure, whereas other factors had less impact. Co-occurrence network analysis showed that microorganisms from high-capacity WWTPs are more interrelated than those from low-capacity WWTPs, which corresponds to the tighter clustering of bacterial communities in Korea. These results will contribute to the understanding of bacterial community assembly in activated sludge processing.

First Time

Ten times at intervals of 1–2 months, individual treatment stages of two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were analyzed for the five quantitatively most widely used phosphonates. The total dissolved concentration of the investigated phosphonates in the influents was between 131 µg/L and 384 µg/L. The nitrogen-free phosphonates 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC) and 1-hydroxyethylidene(1,1-diphosphonic acid) (HEDP) accounted for an average proportion of 83–85%. Diethylenetriaminepenta(methylene phosphonic acid) (DTPMP) contributed with 13–14%, whereas aminotris(methylphosphonic acid) (ATMP) (≤15 µg/L) and ethylenediaminetetra(methylene phosphonic acid) (EDTMP) (≤11 µg/L) contents detected in the WWTP influents were comparatively low. The application of new analytical methods allowed the quantification of phosphonates in the solid fraction of the WWTP influents for the first time. High loads of phosphonates were determined (223–2555 mg/kg), indicating that 20%–80% of the phosphonates are present in the adsorbed state. The removal of total dissolved phosphonate by secondary clarification was between 69.7% and 92.4% (medians: 90.7% and 87.7%). In both WWTPs, HEDP (medians: 89.2% and 86.4%) was slightly better eliminated than PBTC (medians: 87.2% and 82.5%). In the sand filtration stage of a WWTP, the average removal was not further improved. In contrast, an additional removal of dissolved phosphonates could be achieved by activated carbon treatment (median: 96.4%). The proportion of phosphonate-P in the dissolved unreactive phosphorus fraction was consistently between 10% and 40% throughout all treatment stages.

Sludge Bulking

Activated sludge bulking is easily caused in winter, resulting in adverse effects on effluent treatment and management of wastewater treatment plants. In this study, activated sludge samples were collected from different wastewater treatment plants in the northern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China in winter. The bacterial community compositions and diversities of activated sludge were analyzed to identify the bacteria that cause bulking of activated sludge. The sequencing generated 30087–55170 effective reads representing 36 phyla, 293 families, and 579 genera in all samples. The dominant phyla present in all activated sludge were Proteobacteria (26.7–48.9%), Bacteroidetes (19.3–37.3%), Chloroflexi (2.9–17.1%), and Acidobacteria (1.5–13.8%). Fifty-five genera including unclassified_f_Comamonadaceae, norank_f_Saprospiraceae, Flavobacterium, norank_f_Hydrogenophilaceae, Dokdonella, Terrimonas, norank_f_Anaerolineaceae, Tetrasphaera, Simplicispira, norank_c_Ardenticatenia, and Nitrospira existed in all samples, accounting for 60.6–82.7% of total effective sequences in each sample. The relative abundances of Saprospiraceae, Flavobacterium, and Tetrasphaera with the respective averages of 12.0%, 8.3%, and 5.2% in bulking sludge samples were higher than those in normal samples. Filamentous Saprospiraceae, Flavobacterium, and Tetrasphaera multiplied were the main cause for the sludge bulking. Redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that influent BOD5, DO, water temperature, and influent ammonia had a distinct effect on bacterial community structures.
