Article Abstract
Methane-dependent denitrification links the global nitrogen and methane cycles. Since its initial discovery in 2006, this process has been understood to involve a division of labor between an archaeal group and a bacterial group, which sequentially perform nitrate and nitrite reduction, respectively. Yao et al. have now revised this paradigm by identifying a Methylomirabilis bacterium capable of performing methane-dependent complete denitrification on its own.

Making waves: Microbial-nitrate-zero valent iron/manganese synergy suppresses arsenic mobilization and greenhouse gas emissions in constructed wetlands.

Constructed wetlands (CWs) face dual challenges of arsenic contamination and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly concerning the competing processes of As(III) immobilization and methane-dependent As(V) reduction (AOM-AsR). To address this dilemma, we developed a novel microbial-nitrate-zero valent iron/manganese synergy (MNZS) system that establishes dynamic redox gradients through Fe/Mn-mediated electron flux regulation. The MNZS mechanism leverages zero valent iron/manganese (ZVI/ZVM) oxidation to create oxygen-depleted microzones, generating bioavailable Fe(II)/Mn(II) species while initiating microbial nitrate-reducing-coupled Fe(II)/Mn(II) oxidation (NRFO/NRMO).

Iron is indispensable for literally all microorganisms, yet becomes toxic at elevated levels. Protein-based iron storage compartments, such as ferritins, play a key role in maintaining iron homeostasis when the iron level surpasses microbial requirements. However, the energy-intensive nature of iron storage raises questions about how microbes balance this bioprocess between growth and metabolism.

The anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) process is a pivotal nitrogen removal technique, playing a significant role in the field of wastewater treatment. The paper commences by delineating the merits of the anammox process in comparison to conventional nitrification-denitrification techniques. Subsequently, it delves into the characteristics of different sludge morphologies process of the behavior of anammox bacteria and their reactions to environmental factors.

Methane-dependent complete denitrification primarily involves nitrate reduction to nitrite by ANME-2d archaea and nitrite reduction to dinitrogen by Methylomirabilis bacteria. 'Candidatus Methylomirabilis sinica' integrates the divisional labor. Physiological traits of this bacterium potentially enable the simultaneous reduction of NO and CH emissions.
