摘要:

目的 产甲烷菌是厌氧消化产甲烷过程的关键功能菌群。为了获得高效的产甲烷菌群,探究不同碳源对菌群产甲烷潜力的调控作用,以及对产甲烷菌丰度和群落结构的影响。 方法 设计A组(CH3COONa和CH3OH)、B组(CH3COONa)和C组(CH3COONa和HCOONa)3组不同碳源培养基,分别以厨余垃圾厌氧消化液(FW)和污泥悬浮液(SS)为接种物富集产甲烷菌。采用气相色谱、实时荧光定量PCR、荧光显微观察和高通量扩增子测序技术,分析产甲烷菌群的性能及其多样性组成。 结果 同一接种物下,A、B、C三组碳源富集的菌群产甲烷能力呈递减趋势。其中,A组的1A-2在49 d内累积CH4产量最高,单位体积(L)培养基中,每克可用碳元素(C)产生的CH4达到35.9 mL。mcrA基因拷贝数和荧光显微观察表明,产甲烷菌的丰度总体呈现A组˃B组˃C组。A组碳源对甲基营养型产甲烷菌具有定向富集作用;B组碳源的添加使乙酸营养型Methanothrix的相对丰度显著高于其他两组;而C组碳源则显著增加了氢营养型产甲烷菌的相对丰度。 结论 碳源种类显著影响富集菌群中产甲烷菌和细菌的多样性、丰富度及群落结构。以CH3COONa和CH3OH(A组)为碳源富集的菌群中产甲烷菌的丰度最高,主要包括MethanothrixMethanoculleusMethanomethylovoransCandidatus Methanoplasma和Methanosarcina,且产甲烷能力最强。A组碳源通过富集互营细菌,协调产甲烷菌的代谢途径分配,促进直接种间电子传递(DIET)过程,显著提升CH4产量。

Abstract:

Objective Methanogens play a pivotal role in methanogenesis during anaerobic digestion. To obtain an efficient methanogenic microbial community, the regulatory effects of different carbon sources on the methane production potential, methanogen abundance, and microbial community structure were investigated. Method Three distinct carbon source culture media (Group A: CH3COONa and CH3OH;Group B: CH3COONa; Group C: CH3COONa and HCOONa) were designed to enrich methanogenic communities by inoculating with anaerobic digestion liquid from kitchen waste (FW) and activated sludge suspension (SS). The performance and diversity composition of methanogenic microbial community were analyzed using gas chromatography, real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), fluorescence microscopy, and amplicon sequencing. Result The microbial communities enriched by carbon sources A, B, and C demonstrated a descending order of methane yield when inoculated with the same inoculum. Group 1A-2 achieved the highest cumulative methane yield over 49 d, with a methane yield of 35.9 mL per gram of available carbon (C) in a unit volume (L) of culture medium. The copy number of mcrA gene and fluorescence microscopy observations indicated a successive decrease in methanogen abundance in communities enriched by carbon sources A, B, and C. Specifically, carbon source A enriched methylotrophic methanogens, while carbon source B significantly boosted the relative abundance of aceticlastic Methanothrix compared to the other groups. Carbon source C notably enhanced the relative abundance of hydrogenotrophic methanogens. Conclusion The type of carbon source significantly influence the diversity, richness, and community structure of methanogens and bacteria in the enriched microbial communities. The microbial communities enriched with CH3COONa and CH3OH (Group A) showed the highest methanogen abundance, mainly including Methanothrix, Methanoculleus, Methanomethylovorans, Candidatus Methanoplasmaand Methanosarcina, and demonstrated the highest methanogenic capacity. Carbon source A promotes methane (CH₄) production by enriching syntrophic bacteria, balancing the metabolic pathway distribution of methanogens, and facilitating direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET).
