摘 要:
The nitrogen removal performance and biological mechanism of Platymonas helgolandica var. Tsingtaoensis (P. helgolandica) were investigated in treating mariculture wastewater under different light: dark (L:D) photoperiods. The growth of P. helgolandica was positively correlated with the photoperiods from 6L:18D to 15L:9D, and the highest photosynthetic activity appeared under 6L:18D photoperiod on day 3. P. helgolandica exhibited the highest removal efficiencies of total nitrogen and COD at 89 % and 93 % under 15L:9D photoperiod, respectively. NH4+-N assimilation was proportional to the photoperiods from 6L:18D to 15L:9D and longer illumination pro-moted NO2-N removal. However, the highest NO3- N reduction rate was achieved under 12L:12D photoperiod. The different nitrogen-transformed enzymatic activities were affected by photoperiod. Transcriptome revealed that unigenes were enriched in nitrogen metabolism and photosynthesis pathways, of which the functional gene expression was up-regulated significantly. This study provides insights into the optimization of photoperiod for mariculture wastewater treatment by P. helgolandica.
