Abstract:
Microbial communities structure characteristics and ecological restoration mechanisms of rural black-odorous water was systematically analyzed to provide microbiological theoretical basis for rural water environment management.16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing was employed to analyze microbial communities in five typical rural black-odorous water in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province.Combined with physicochemical index detection and three ecological restoration experiments(microbial agents, phytoremediation, and aeration oxygenation), succession patterns and functional changes of microbial communities during water pollution and restoration were systematically investigated.Results showed that microbial community diversity in polluted water was significantly reduced, with Shannon index decreasing from 4.7 in healthy water to 2.1 in severely polluted water(
P<0.001).Anaerobic fermentation bacterial communities(
Clostridium 12.3%,
Desulfovibrio 6.2%,
Methanobacterium 5.8%)proliferated extensively, while nitrifying bacteria(
Nitrobacter 0.8%,
Nitrosomonas 1.1%)decreased significantly.Functional gene prediction revealed that gene abundance associated with sulfate reduction and methanogenesis related genes increased to 11.2% and 9.8%, respectively, while nitrification and denitrification genes decreased to 2.1% and 1.8%.Shannon index showed highly significant positive correlation with dissolved oxygen(DO)(
R=0.847,
P<0.001)and negative correlations with chemical oxygen demand(COD)and NH
3-N(
R=−0.823 and −0.856,
P<0.001).Ecological restoration experiments demonstrated that microbial agents achieved optimal results, with COD and NH
3-N removal rates reaching 73.5% and 68.2% within 30 days, and Shannon index increasing by 1.8.During restoration process, anaerobic bacteria proportion decreased from 68.7% to 28.3%, while aerobic bacteria increased from 15.3% to 54.7%, and nitrifying bacteria increased from 1.2% to 8.2%.These findings have indicated that microbial community structure imbalance is microbiological root cause of water quality deterioration in rural black-odorous water.Ecological restoration technology based on microbial community regulation can effectively reconstruct community structure and restore ecological functions, providing new technical approaches and theoretical support for comprehensive rural water environment management.
