Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis of sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification coupled with carbon assimilation: roles of sulfur-to-nitrogen ratio and hydraulic retention time
Key Points
Denitrification behavior shifts with variations in sulfur-to-nitrogen ratio and hydraulic retention time, indicating possible optimization strategies.
A metagenomic and metatranscriptomic framework was utilized to assess the microbial community and gene expression related to metabolism.
Microbial roles in denitrification processes are highlighted, showing interactions between carbon assimilation and sulfur compounds.
Understanding these mechanisms may enable better management practices for water treatment systems focusing on nutrient reduction.
