Project description:Bacteriophage – host dynamics and interactions are important for microbial community composition and ecosystem function. Nonetheless, empirical evidence in engineered environment is scarce. Here, we examined phage and prokaryotic community composition of four anaerobic digestors in full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) across China. Despite relatively stable process performance in biogas production, both phage and prokaryotic groups fluctuated monthly over a year of study period. Nonetheless, there were significant correlations in their α- and β-diversities between phage and prokaryotes. Phages explained 40.6% of total prokaryotic community composition, much higher than the explainable power by abiotic factors (14.5%). Consequently, phages were significantly (P<0.010) linked to parameters related to process performance including biogas production and volatile solid concentrations. Association network analyses showed that phage-prokaryote pairs were deeply rooted, and two network modules were exclusively comprised of phages, suggesting a possibility of co-infection. Those results collectively demonstrate phages as a major biotic factor in controlling bacterial composition. Therefore, phages may play a larger role in shaping prokaryotic dynamics and process performance of WWTPs than currently appreciated, enabling reliable prediction of microbial communities across time and space.

Project description:Background: Biological conversion of the surplus of renewable electricity to CH4 could support energy storage and strengthen the power grid. Biological methanation (BM) is closely linked to the activity of biogas-producing bacterial community and methanogenic Archaea in particular. During reactor operations, the microbiome is often subject to various changes whereby the microorganisms are challenged to adapt to the new conditions. In this study, a hydrogenotrophic-adapted microbial community in a laboratory-scale BM fermenter was monitored for its pH, gas production, conversion yields and composition. To investigate the robustness of BM regarding power oscillations, the biogas microbiome was exposed to five H2 starvations patterns for several hours.

Project description:Background: Methane yield and biogas productivity of biogas plants depend on microbial community structure and functionality, substrate supply, and general process parameters. Little is known, however, about the correlations between microbial community function and the process parameters. To close this knowledge gap the microbial community of 40 industrial biogas plants was evaluated by a metaproteomics approach in this study. Results: Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (Elite Hybrid Ion Trap Orbitrap) enabled the identification of 3138 metaproteins belonging to 162 biological processes and 75 different taxonomic orders. Therefore, database searches were performed against UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and several metagenome databases. Subsequent clustering and principal component analysis of these data allowed to identify four main clusters associated to mesophilic and thermophilic process conditions, upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors and sewage sludge as substrate. Observations confirm a previous phylogenetic study of the same biogas plant samples that was based on 16S-rRNA gene by De Vrieze et al. (2015) (De Vrieze, Saunders et al. 2015). Both studies described similar microbial key players of the biogas process, namely Bacillales, Enterobacteriales, Bacteriodales, Clostridiales, Rhizobiales and Thermoanaerobacteriales as well as Methanobacteriales, Methanosarcinales and Methanococcales. In addition, a correlation study and a Gephi graph network based on the correlations between the taxonomic orders and process parameters suggested the presence of various trophic interactions, e.g. syntrophic hydrogen transfer between Thermoanaerobacteriales and Methanomicrobiales. For the elucidation of the main biomass degradation pathways the most abundant 1% of metaproteins were assigned to the KEGG map 1200 representing the central carbon metabolism. Additionally, the effect of the process parameters (i) temperature, (ii) organic loading rate (OLR), (iii) total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) and (iv) sludge retention time (SRT) on these pathways was investigated. For example high TAN correlated with hydrogenotrophic methanogens and bacterial one-carbon metabolism, indicating syntrophic acetate oxidation. Conclusion: This study shows the benefit of large-scale proteotyping of biogas plants, enabling the identification of general correlations between the process parameters and the microbial community structure and function. Changes in the level of microbial key functions or even in the microbial community type represent a valuable hint for process problems and disturbances.
