Constructed wetlands (CWs) are complicated ecosystems that include vegetation, sediments, and the associated microbiome mediating numerous processes in wastewater treatment. CWs have various functional zones where contrasting biochemical processes occur. Since these zones are characterized by different particle-size composition, physicochemical conditions, and vegetation, one can expect the presence of distinct microbiomes across different CW zones. Here, we investigated spatial changes in microbiomes along different functional zones of a free-water surface wetland located in Moscow, Russia. The microbiome structure was analyzed using Illumina MiSeq amplicon sequencing. We also determined particle diameter and surface area of sediments, as well as chemical composition of organic pollutants in different CW zones. Specific organic particle aggregates similar to activated sludge flocs were identified in the sediments. The highest accumulation of hydrocarbons was found in the zones with predominant sedimentation of fine fractions. Phytofilters had the highest rate of organic pollutants decomposition and predominance of , and . The sedimentation tank had lower microbial diversity, and higher relative abundances of , , and , as well as higher predicted abundances of genes related to methanogenesis and methanotrophy. Thus, spatial changes in microbiomes of constructed wetlands can be associated with different types of wastewater treatment processes.
人工湿地是复杂的生态系统,包括植被、沉积物以及在废水处理中介导众多过程的相关微生物群落。人工湿地有各种功能区,不同的生化过程在这些区域发生。由于这些区域具有不同的颗粒大小组成、物理化学条件和植被,因此可以预期不同人工湿地区域存在不同的微生物群落。在此,我们研究了俄罗斯莫斯科一处自由水面湿地不同功能区微生物群落的空间变化。使用Illumina MiSeq扩增子测序分析微生物群落结构。我们还测定了沉积物的粒径和表面积,以及不同人工湿地区域有机污染物的化学成分。在沉积物中鉴定出了类似于活性污泥絮体的特定有机颗粒聚集体。在细颗粒主要沉降的区域发现了最高的碳氢化合物积累。植物过滤区有机污染物分解速率最高,且 、 和 占优势。沉淀池的微生物多样性较低, 、 和 的相对丰度较高,以及与甲烷生成和甲烷氧化相关基因的预测丰度较高。因此,人工湿地微生物群落的空间变化可能与不同类型的废水处理过程有关。
