- ZnO NPs (above 2Â mg/L) could seriously deteriorate the performance of EBPR system.
- The microbial community structure in the EBPR system was largely changed by ZnO NPs.
- Competibacter was more sensitive than Accumulibacter after exposure to 2Â mg/L ZnO NPs.
- Accumulibacter had stronger recoverability compared with Competibacter.
In this study, the impacts of ZnO Nanoparticles (NPs) on the microbial community in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) system and its recoverability were investigated. High-throughput sequencing was applied to study the microbial community shift. Results show that the species richness in the EBPR system was reduced under the condition of ZnO NPs with high concentration (above 6Â mg/L). Evolution analysis suggests that higher concentration ZnO NPs induced more microbial community shift. According to the analysis on genus level, Competibacter was more impressionable than Accumulibacter after exposure to 2Â mg/L ZnO NPs. Nonetheless, this phenomenon could not be found as the concentration of ZnO NPs got higher (above 6Â mg/L). Accumulibacter could reach to the initial level after recover for 20Â days, whereas Competibacter could not recover even when the concentration of ZnO NPs was only 2Â mg/L. Interestingly, although the phosphorus removal (P-removal) process was re-achieved, the microbial community in reactors was irreversible.
