Nitrobacter are strictly aerobic, autotrophic, and slow growing bacteria. Because they convert nitrite to nitrate, the effects that toxins have on them can be detected easily by monitoring changes in their nitrite consumption rate. The bacterial cultures were obtained from two sources — the Peoria and Princeton (Illinois) wastewater treatment plants — and tests were con• ducted to determine the effects on the cultures of inorganic ions and organic compounds. The inorganic ions included cadmium, copper, lead, and nickel. The organic compounds were phenol, chlorophenol (three derivatives), dichlo- rophenol (two derivatives), and trichlorophenol. The bioassay procedure is relatively simple and the results are repro• ducible . The effects of these chemical compounds on Nitrobacter were not dramatic. For example, of the compounds tested, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol was the most toxic to Nitrobacter.

  • High Functional Diversity Among Nitrospira Populations That Dominate Rotating Biological Contactor Microbial Communities in a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant
    The ISME Journal (2020) 14:1857–1872 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-020-0650-2 ARTICLE High functional diversity among Nitrospira populations that dominate rotating biological contactor microbial communities in a municipal wastewater treatment plant 1 1 1 1 1 2 Emilie Spasov ● Jackson M. Tsuji ● Laura A. Hug ● Andrew C. Doxey ● Laura A. Sauder ● Wayne J. Parker ● Josh D. Neufeld 1 Received: 18 October 2019 / Revised: 3 March 2020 / Accepted: 30 March 2020 / Published online: 24 April 2020 © The Author(s) 2020. This article is published with open access Abstract Nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via nitrite, is an important process in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Members of the Nitrospira genus that contribute to complete ammonia oxidation (comammox) have only recently been discovered and their relevance to engineered water treatment systems is poorly understood. This study investigated distributions of Nitrospira, ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in biofilm samples collected from tertiary rotating biological contactors (RBCs) of a municipal WWTP in Guelph, Ontario, 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: Canada. Using quantitative PCR (qPCR), 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and metagenomics, our results demonstrate that Nitrospira species strongly dominate RBC biofilm samples and that comammox Nitrospira outnumber all other nitrifiers. Genome bins recovered from assembled metagenomes reveal multiple populations of comammox Nitrospira with distinct spatial and temporal distributions, including several taxa that are distinct from previously characterized Nitrospira members. Diverse functional profiles imply a high level of niche heterogeneity among comammox Nitrospira, in contrast to the sole detected AOA representative that was previously cultivated and characterized from the same RBC biofilm.

    270. E. B.: Two Kinds of Lithotrophs Missing in Nature, Zeitschrift für Allgemeine Mikrobiologie 17 (1977), 491-493. Zeitschrift für Allg. Mikrobiologie 1977 491-493 (Institut für Physikalische Chemie, Universität Wien) Two kinds of lithotrophs missing in nature E. BRODA (Eingegangen am 14. 9.1976) Two groups of lithotrophic bacteria, the existence of which may be expected on evolutionary and thermodynamical grounds, have not yet been detected: (A) photosynthetic, anaerobic, am- monia bacteria, analogous to coloured sulphur bacteria, and (B) chemosynthetic bacteria that oxidize ammonia to nitrogen with O2 or nitrate as oxidant. The versatility of the prokaryotes in their energy metabolism has long astonished microbiologists. The bacteria have developed processes, i.e., enzymes, for the utili- zation of a wide range indeed of exergonic reactions. Attention is now drawn to further processes in energy metabolism which on the basis of considerations on the evolution of the bioenergetic processes (BRODA I975a) may be expected to have existed, or to exist, but which have not yet been found. Two kinds of "lithotrophic" bacteria with such mechanisms will now be predicted. Lithotrophs are bacteria that use in- organic reductants in their energy metabolism (FROl\fAGEOT and SENEZ 1960); all autotrophs must be lithotrophs, though the reverse need not be true. The two bac- teria here predicted would generate dinitrogen (N2). The nitrifying bacteria make adenosine triphosphate, ATP, through oxidative phos- phorylation coupled to the aerobic oxidation of ammonia, a highly exergonic process. Thus, in nitrification Nitrosomonas produces nitrite, and Nitrobacter makes nitrate. The redox reactions are: NHt + 1.5 O2 = H 20 + NO;- + 2 H+; = - 65 kcal (1) NO;- + 0.5 O2 = NO;-; = - 18 kcal (2) The negativity of the free enthalpy change, is the precondition for the produc- tion of ATP and, consequently, for the endergonic reduction of CO 2 to biomass.

The 28 addition of ammonia promotes the growth of nitrifying organisms, causing the depletion of 29 chloramine residuals and resulting in operational problems for many drinking water utilities. 30 Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the microbially mediated processes behind 31 nitrogen metabolism together with chemical water quality data, may allow water utilities to 32 better address the undesirable effects caused by nitrification.
