Abstract
- • High C/N ratios and effluent recirculation promoted SND process for N removal. • HNAD was the main nitrogen transformation pathway in TFCWs. • HNADB were the dominant functional genera related to nitrogen removal in TFCWs. • Some core HNADB showed positive interactions with other functional genera. • Tidal strategies contributed more to shifts in functional genera than C/N ratios. This study investigated the influence of C/N ratios and tidal strategies on nitrogen removal and bacterial communities in two pilot-scale tidal flow constructed wetlands (TFCWs) with simultaneous nitrification–denitrification process. Heterotrophic nitrification aerobic denitrification (HNAD) was the main nitrogen transformation pathway in both TFCWs. High C/N ratios and effluent circulation at low temperature promoted HNAD in TFCWs with high nitrogen removal efficiencies (72.6%–95.5% for NH 4 +-N and 70.9%~91.8% for TN). Effluent circulation had more influence on bacterial community structure and diversity than C/N ratios. Among 16 detected genera related to nitrogen removal, HNAD bacteria (HNADB) were abundant. Especially, some dominant HNADB (e.g. Aeromonas , Hydrogenophage and Gemmobacter) were core genera, showing positive interactions with other genera related to nitrogen removal. Tidal strategies had more contribution to the shifts in these genera than C/N ratios. This study highlights the importance of HNADB in pilot-scale TFCWs and their responses to C/N ratios and tidal strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
