Project description:This study investigates the role of carbon-to-phosphorus (C/P) ratios in shaping microbial community dynamics and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production in sequencing batch reactors (SBR) fed with volatile fatty acids. Three conditions, characterized by fixed organic loading rates but varying C/P ratios (Run 1 = 170 Cmol Pmol-1; Run 2 = 235 Cmol Pmol-1; Run 3 = 400 Cmol Pmol-1), were tested to explore their impact on PHA accumulation, biomass growth, and reactor stability. Results indicate that the moderate phosphorus limitation of Run 2 achieves the best overall performance, with a PHA volumetric productivity of 2.02 g PHA L-1 d-1 and process stability. Conversely, higher C/P ratio increased the storage yield but lowered the productivity (1.55 gPHA L-1 d-1), compromising sludge settleability and reactor stability, indicating impaired microbial functionality. Full-length 16S/18S rRNA gene sequencing using PacBio technology enabled high-resolution profiling of microbial communities, revealing ecological shifts across conditions. Run 2 exhibited the highest bacterial and eukaryotic diversity, featuring multiple PHA-accumulating bacteria (mainly Sphaerotilus, Leadbetterella, and uncultured Rhodobacteraceae) and a well-structured eukaryotic community dominated by K-strategist bacterivorous protists, e.g. Rhogostoma (Rhizaria) and Vorticella (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) and predatory protozoa, e.g. Tokophrya (Ciliophora, Suctoria). In contrast, Sphaerotilus dominated under suboptimal conditions and may be linked to bulking. These results suggest that eukaryotic diversity may support system stability through selective predation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) further confirmed the presence of intracellular PHA granules and polyphosphate reserves, reinforcing the connection between nutrient limitation and adaptive microbial strategies. Overall, these findings highlight the critical role of the C/P ratio in shaping the performance of mixed microbial cultures, demonstrating that a well-balanced nutrient supply can enhance PHA production while maintaining microbial community stability. The results contribute to optimizing the selection process for mixed microbial cultures, offering valuable insights into the impact of carbon-to-nutrient ratios in the feeding strategy.

Project description:Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are bio-based, biodegradable polyesters that can be produced from organic-rich waste streams using mixed microbial cultures. To maximize PHA production, mixed microbial cultures may be enriched for PHA-producing bacteria with a high storage capacity through the imposition of cyclic, aerobic feast-famine conditions in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Though enrichment SBRs have been extensively investigated a bulk solutions-level, little evidence at the proteome level is available to describe the observed SBR behavior to guide future SBR optimization strategies. As such, the purpose of this investigation was to characterize proteome dynamics of a mixed microbial culture in an SBR operated under aerobic feast-famine conditions using fermented dairy manure as the feedstock for PHA production. At the beginning of the SBR cycle, excess PHA precursors were provided to the mixed microbial culture (i.e., feast), after which followed a long duration devoid of exogenous substrate (i.e., famine). Two-dimensional electrophoresis was used to separate protein mixtures during a complete SBR cycle, and proteins of interest were identified.

Project description:This study explores the use of short settling times as a strategy to enhance microbial selection and prevent bulking induced by nutrient shortage in an aerobic dynamic feeding (ADF) process using mixed microbial cultures (MMCs) for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production from fermentation digestate. A 5.0-L aerobic reactor was operated under three conditions: Long Settling (LS, 30 minutes), Short Settling (SS, 10 minutes), and Short Settling under Nutrient Shortage (SS-NS, 10 minutes with reduced nutrient load). Short settling significantly improved biomass settleability, reducing the Sludge Volume Index (SVI) from 126 to 25 mL g⁻¹, and promoted the formation of dense flocs enriched in PHA-accumulating bacteria, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Process kinetics revealed enhanced substrate uptake rates and improved storage yields under SS conditions, despite an elevated C/P ratio. Notably, nutrient shortage conditions were inadvertently reached by the proliferation of Polytoma mirum in the feeding tank. Although Polytoma mirum did not affect VFA composition, its presence significantly reduced nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations. These nutrient shortage conditions were maintained for at least 30 days until the system began to exhibit stress, as demonstrated by an increased SVI (178.6 mL g⁻¹). Microbial community analyses indicated marked shifts: the eukaryotic assemblage transitioned from sessile to motile ciliates under SS, while bacterial diversity within the PHA‐accumulating fraction remained high, with key taxa such as Sphaerotilus and Neomegalonema becoming more prevalent under phosphorus-limited conditions. Overall, short settling not only improved microbial selection but also prevented bulking by retaining well-aggregated biomass, thereby mitigating nutrient shortage conditions.

Project description:Characterization of microbial communities at the genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic levels, with a special interest on lipid accumulating bacterial populations, which are naturally enriched in biological wastewater treatment systems and may be harnessed for the conversion of mixed lipid substrates (wastewater) into biodiesel. The project aims to elucidate the genetic blueprints and the functional relevance of specific populations within the community. It focuses on within-population genetic and functional heterogeneity, trying to understand how fine-scale variations contribute to differing lipid accumulating phenotypes. Insights from this project will contribute to the understanding the functioning of microbial ecosystems, and improve optimization and modeling strategies for current and future biological wastewater treatment processes. This project contains datasets derived from the same biological wastewater treatment plant. The data includes metagenomes, metatranscriptomes, metaproteomes and organisms isolated in pure cultures.
