“…The effects of some HFRs (e.g., TBBPA, PBDEs, and DBDPE) on microbiomes are well documented − and can be categorized based on their effects on (i) the entire microbial community, where exposure to HFRs can alter microbial composition (usually decreasing microbial diversity) and interactions of the microbiome via environmental filtering; ,,− (ii) individual microbial cells, where the integrity and function of cell membrane can be compromised by accumulation of these lipophilic pollutants, which directly affects cell viability; ,,, (iii) enzymatic activity and, therefore, activity of metabolic pathways can be altered by HFRs. , The ultimate effects of HFRs and related transformation products depend on a combination of these effects. Because there are few studies investigating the direct effects of HFRs on biological wastewater treatment systems and sludge anaerobic digesters, this review discusses demonstrated and putative effects of HFRs on biological nitrogen removal (i.e., nitrification, denitrification, and anaerobic ammonia oxidation) and methanogenesis by integrating the available information from both biological treatment systems ,,,− and other environmental matrices. ,− …”

Halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) have been extensively used in various consumer products and many are classified as persistent organic pollutants due to their resistance to degradation, bioaccumulation potential and toxicity. HFRs have been widely detected in the municipal wastewater and wastewater treatment solids in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the discharge and agricultural application of which represent a primary source of environmental HFRs contamination. This review seeks to provide a current overview on the occurrence, fate, and impacts of HFRs in WWTPs around the globe. We first summarize studies recording the occurrence of representative HFRs in wastewater and wastewater treatment solids, revealing temporal and geographical trends in HFRs distribution. Then, the efficiency and mechanism of HFRs removal by biosorption, which is known to be the primary process for HFRs removal from wastewater, during biological wastewater treatment processes, are discussed. Transformation of HFRs via abiotic and biotic processes in laboratory tests and full-scale WWTPs is reviewed with particular emphasis on the transformation pathways and functional microorganisms responsible for HFRs biotransformation. Finally, the potential impacts of HFRs on reactor performance (i.e., nitrogen removal and methanogenesis) and microbiome in bioreactors are discussed. This review aims to advance our understanding of the fate and impacts of HFRs in WWTPs and shed light on important questions warranting further investigation.

Trace elements can have a wide variety of effects on microbial populations and their function in the aquatic environment. However, specific impacts on chemical and biological processes are often difficult to unravel, due to the wide variety of chemical species involved and interactions between different elemental cycles. A replicated mesocosm experiment was used to test the effect of increasing copper concentrations, i.e., from 6 mg kg−1 to 30 and 120 mg kg−1, on nitrogen cycling in a freshwater sediment under laboratory conditions. Nitrous oxide emissions from the treated sediments were measured over three consecutive 24 h periods. This was followed by measurements of iron, manganese, copper and mineral nitrogen species (nitrate and ammonium) mobilisation in the sediments using the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) and diffusive equilibria in thin films (DET) techniques and sequential extractions. Increasing copper concentrations are shown to have resulted in significantly reduced nitrate formation near the sediment–water interface and increased nitrous oxide emissions from the sediment overall. The concomitant mobilisation and sequestration of iron with ammonium in the sediment with the highest Cu treatment strongly imply links between the biogeochemical cycles of the two elements. Modest Cu contamination was shown to affect the nitrogen cycle in the tested freshwater sediment, which suggests that even relatively small loads of the metal in fresh watercourses can exert an influence on nutrient loads and greenhouse gas emissions from these environments.

“…Physiochemical factors can influence the abundance and diversity of AOA and AOB microbes in several vital processes, including river N cycling ecosystems (Jiang et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2018). For instance, oxygen availability (Gleeson et al, 2010), phosphorus (Herfort et al, 2007), sulfide (Burgin et al, 2012), pH (Li et al, 2015a), soil type (Huang et al, 2011), NH + 4 -N, and NO 3 -N (Li et al, 2012) have been classified as significant parameters that affect the distribution and diversity of ammonia-oxidizing communities in different ecosystems (Behrendt et al, 2017).…”

Ammonia-oxidizing communities play important functional roles in the nitrification. However, environmental stresses can significantly affect this process by controlling the abundant communities of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) communities. In this study, we examined the abundance variations of ammonia-oxidizing communities using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) in a typical subtropical river, Luotian County, South Dabie Mountains, China. Clone libraries were conducted to evaluate the community structure and abundance of AOA and AOB in sediments. Results showed that Nitrososphaera sp and Nitrosopumilus sp were the most dominant AOA. The abundance of the AOA and AOB amoA gene ranged from 5.28 × 108 gene copies (g-soil−1) to 2.23 × 108 gene copies (g-soil−1) and 5.45 × 108 gene copies (g-soil−1) to 3.30 × 107 gene copies (g-soil−1), respectively. Five environmental variables, namely, ORP, DO, NO${}_{3}^{-}$, Temp, and NH${}_{4}^{+}$ were played a major function in microbial communities of AOA and AOB in sediments. The T-RFLP profiles of AOA showed that 488 and 116 bp T-RFs were dominated. Overall, the results of this study showed that anthropogenic activities andenvironmental stress in rivers can alter the structure and function of microbes in their variable environment.
