The activated sludge (AS) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) sludge systems were continuously operated for 200 days in laboratory to investigate the stress-responses of these two sludge systems under ciprofloxacin (CIP) exposure. It was found that CIP was effectively removed by SRB sludge via adsorption and biodegradation, but little biodegradation in AS system. The CIP biodegradation by SRB sludge made the SRB sludge system more sustainable and tolerant to long-term CIP exposure than AS system with significant (p <0.05) CIP desorption and decrease of CIP removal. CIP shaped the microbial communities in AS and SRB sludge, and significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited the family Nitrosomonadaceae (ammonia oxidizing bacteria (A0B)) and genus Nitrospira (nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB)/complete ammonia oxidizer(comammox)) and the nitrogen removal in AS system. Moreover, CIP posed the increase of genus Zoogloea-like organisms and the non-filamentous bulking of AS, e.g. 313 +/- 12 mL/g of sludge volume index (SVI) at phase V (influent CIP = 5000 mu g/L). The genus Desulfobacter was enriched in SRB sludge system under long-term CIP exposure, and stimulated chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and sulfate reduction. The increase of genera Zoogloea, Acinetobacter and Flavobacterium in AS, and Zoogloea and Acinetobacter in SRB sludge systems under CIP exposure promoted extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) production and CIP adsorption for self-protection of microbes against CIP toxicity. The functional groups of N-H, O-H, C-O-C and C=O in EPS of AS and SRB sludge provided adsorption sites for CIP and impeded CIP impact on microbial cells. The findings of this study provide an insight into the stress-responses of AS and SRB sludge under long-term CIP exposure, and exhibit the great potential of treating CIP-laden wastewater by SRB sludge system.
