This study systematically investigates the impact of stirring speed on the performance of microalgal-bacterial granular sludge (MBGS) ranging from 0 to 250 rpm, revealing that an optimal speed of 210 rpm induces synergistic structural-metabolic adaptations in MBGS when treating simple organics. At this optimal stirring speed, improvements in granule morphology and homogeneity, indicated by a decreased non-uniformity coefficient, as well as enhanced roundness and an optimal microalgae-bacteria ratio were observed, which collectively contribute to structural integrity and stable granule size. Notably, at 210 rpm, a significant increase in the abundance of Pseudomonadota including key genera such as Aquimonas, Azonexus, and Dechloromonas was detected, which resulted in an up-regulation of the abundance of key functional genes involved in contaminant metabolism (e.g., DLD, SucD, glmS, and ppa). These findings highlight the importance of stirring shear force as a strategic approach for maintaining granule size and stability in MBGS technology for real-world applications.
本研究系统地研究了搅拌速度在0至250转/分钟范围内对微藻-细菌颗粒污泥(MBGS)性能的影响,结果表明,当处理简单有机物时,210转/分钟的最佳速度会在MBGS中引发协同的结构-代谢适应性变化。在这个最佳搅拌速度下,观察到颗粒形态和均匀性得到改善,表现为不均匀系数降低,以及圆度增加和微藻-细菌比例最佳,这些共同有助于结构完整性和稳定的颗粒大小。值得注意的是,在210转/分钟时,检测到包括关键属如水产单胞菌属、氮单胞菌属和脱氯单胞菌属在内的假单胞菌门丰度显著增加,这导致参与污染物代谢的关键功能基因(如双功能乳酸脱氢酶、琥珀酸脱氢酶亚基D、葡糖胺合成酶和磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧激酶)丰度上调。这些发现凸显了搅拌剪切力作为在实际应用的MBGS技术中维持颗粒大小和稳定性的一种策略性方法的重要性。
