Microbial community structure in a constructed wetland based on a recirculating aquaculture system : Exploring spatio-temporal variations and assembly mechanisms

Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

The diversity, composition and performance of microbial communities within constructed wetlands (CW) were markedly influenced by spatio-temporal variations. A pilot-scale integrated vertical-flow constructed wetland (IVCW) as the biological purification unit within a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) was established and monitored in this study. The investigation aimed to elucidate the responses of community structure, co-occurrence networks, and assembly mechanisms of the microbial community to spatial and temporal changes. Spatially, all a-diversity indices and microbial networks complexity were significantly higher in the upstream pool of the IVCW than in the downstream pool. Temporally, the richness increased over time, while the evenness showed a decreasing trend. The number of nodes and edges of microbial networks increased over time. Notably, the stable pollutant removal efficiencies were observed during IVCW operations, despite a-diversity and bacterial community networks exhibited significant variations across time. Functional redundancy emerged as a likely mechanism contributing to the stability of microbial ecosystem functions. Null model and neutral model analyses revealed the dominance of deterministic processes shaping microbial communities over time, with deterministic influences being more pronounced at lower a-diversity levels. DO and inorganic nitrogen emerged as the principal environmental factor influencing microbial community dynamics. This study provides a theoretical foundation for the regulation of microbial communities and environmental factors within the context of IVCW.
