Abstract
Field research on the performance of pollutant removal and the structure of the microbial community was carried out on a drinking water reservoir. After one month of operation of a water-lifting aeration system, the water temperature difference between the bottom and the surface decreased from 9.9 to 3.1 °C, and the concentration of the dissolved oxygen (DO) in the bottom layer increased from 0 to 4.2 mg/L. The existing stratification in the reservoir was successfully eliminated. Total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations were reduced by 47.8%, 66.7%, and 22.9%, respectively. High-throughput sequencing showed that Proteobacteria , Bacteroides, and Actinomycetes accounted for 67.52% to 78.74% of the total bacterial population. Differences in the bacterial changes were observed between the enhanced area and the control area. With the operation of the water-lifting aeration system, the populations of bacteria of the main genera varied temporally and spatially. Principal component analysis pointed out a clear evolution in the vertical distribution of the microbial structure controlled by the operation of the aeration system. Permutational analysis of variance showed a significant difference in the microbial community ( p < 0.01). Redundancy analysis showed that physical (water temperature, DO) and chemical environmental factors (Chl-a, TOC, TN) were the key factors affecting the changes in the microbial communities in the reservoir water. In addition, a hierarchical partitioning analysis indicated that T, Chl-a, ORP, TOC, pH, and DO accounted for 24.1%, 8.7%, 6.7%, 6.2%, 5.8%, and 5.1% of such changes, respectively. These results are consistent with the ABT (aggregated boosted tree) analysis for the variations in the functional bacterial community, and provide a theoretical basis for the development and application of biotechnology.
