“…On the 120th day, the number of norA gene copies in the two reactors reached 10 9 , indicating that the number of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) was much higher than that of anammox bacteria. It is clear that the EMF may also promote the reproduction of NOB, even the degree of impact is higher than that of anammox bacteria (Wang et al, 2021a).…”

“…In recent years, biomagnetic effect has been introduced into the field of environmental wastewater treatment. Applying infrared electromagnetic field (EMF) shortened the process startup time by 37%, greatly saved the time cost of domestication, and showed better stability (Wang et al, 2021a). Especially, low-frequency EMFs may affect numerous cell functions at cellular level, such as RNA transcription, DNA synthesis, protein expression, hormone production and metabolic activity (Goodman et al, 1983;Goodman and Henderson, 1988;Litovitz et al, 1994).…”

Improving the relative abundance of bacteria and their activity is still the basis for the efficient operation of anammox process. Here, biomagnetic effect was used to promote anammox granules. Batch test results show that the application of an electromagnetic field (EMF) with a strength of 0.09 μT increased the nitrogen removal performance of anammox by 32.44% while higher strength EMF of 0.20 and 0.25 μT inhibited the activity of anammox bacteria. Long-term experiment indicated that the addition of EMF with a strength of 0.09 μT greatly improved nitrogen removal performance of the granular sludge, especially the total nitrogen removal performance increased by 15.3%. After 120 days of reactor operation, the nitrogen loading rate was increased to 6.4 kg N/m3/d, and the total nitrogen removal rate of the reactors with and without EMF addition reached 4.92 kg N/m3/d and 4.25 kg N/m3/d, respectively. Throughout the experiment, the removal rate of NH4+-N and NO2−-N of anammox reactor with 0.09 μT EMT addition was always higher than that without EMF addition. The high-throughput sequencing analysis showed that the proportion of Candidatus Brocadia in reactors with and without EMF addition were 21.3% and 15.8%, respectively. The application of EMF with an intensity of 0.09 μT increased the relative abundance of the main anammox bacteria. 70 kos were enriched under EMF conditions, including ko00780 (Biotin metabolism), ko00540 (Lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis), ko00590 (Arachidonic acid metabolism). 51 kos like ko03030 (DNA replication) decreased after EMF addition. This study demonstrates the feasibility of EMF to promote anammox and expands the application of EMF in wastewater treatment.
