To better understand long-term combined effects of crude oil and dispersant on bacterial community, sediments microcosms were set up in triplicates and treated with dispersant (Corexit 9500A), crude oil, and Corexit 9500A plus crude oil. After 60 days exposure, there was a significant change in the bacterial community structure in all treatments. The shift in the bacterial community structure in Corexit 9500A plus crude oil treatment was considerably different from those by either Corexit 9500A or crude oil. DNA sequence analysis showed that Hydrocarboniphaga effuse, Parvibaculum lavamentivorans,and Alicyclobacillus ferrooxydans were the major bacterial species in crude oil treatment. Pandoraea thiooxydans, Janthinobacterium sp. and Hyphomicrobium nitrativorans were the most dominant species in Corexit 9500A treatment. The species Janthinobacterium sp., Parvibaculum lavamentivorans, and Dyella sp. were enriched in Corexit 9500A plus crude oil treatment. The majority of the detected species were hydrocarbons degraders. The study showed that Corexit 9500A addition enhanced the biodegradation rate by increasing the diversity and richness of hydrocarbons degrading species. Corexit A9500 application should be considered during crude oil spills to evaluate environmental impacts.

In this paper, we studied the effect of earthworm loads on the removal rates of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total nitrogen, and total phosphorus from synthetic domestic sewage and on the bacterial community structure and diversity of substrates in earthworm packing beds. The different vermifiltrations (VFs), including the control, are successful in removing both organic matter (OM) and nutrients. The removal rate of NH3-N at 12.5 g of earthworm/L of soil VF is higher compared with that at 0 and 4.5 earthworm load VFs. The highest Shannon index, in the earthworm packing bed, occurred at 16.5 earthworm load VF. Furthermore, the COD removal rate is significantly correlated with the Shannon index, which reveals that OM removal for synthetic domestic sewage treatment at VF might be more dependent on bacterial diversity at the earthworm packing bed. The band distributions and diversities of the bacterial community for samples from different earthworm loads in VFs suggest that the bacterial community structure was only affected within the earthworm packing bed when the earthworm load reached a certain level. The present study adds to the current understanding of OM and nutrient degradation processes in VF domestic wastewater treatment.
