Photogranules have advantages in treating high saline wastewater, but their formation mechanism needs further investigation. This study explores the impact of SMP and EPS on photogranulation and reveals different formation mechanisms in different types of reactors based on the analysis of pollutant removal efficiencies, microbial communities, and SMP and EPS compositions.
Photogranules have considerable advantages for treating high saline wastewater economically and efficiently. However, photogranulation mechanism needs to be further investigated. In this study, a continuous-flow pho-togranular bioreactor (R1) and sequencing batch photogranular bioreactor (R2) were setup for exploring the formation mechanism of photogranules. Results showed that R1 achieved satisfying pollutant removal effi-ciencies with TOC of 85.36 +/- 2.84 %, NH4+ of 93.30 +/- 2.07 % and PO43-of 77.68 +/- 5.81 %. Microscopy and 16S/ 18S rRNA sequencing indicated that the dominate bacteria showed discrepancy with Phormidium sp. in R1 and Leptolyngbya sp. in R2, and a specific network structure was formed on photogranules in R1. Additionally, more abundant polysaccharides in soluble microbial products (SMP) were observed in R1, which facilitated cyano-bacteria gliding motility, thereby accelerating the photogranulation. Meanwhile, three dimensional excitation -emission matrix (3D-EEM) analysis implied that the pivotal SMP components driving photogranulation were different, with aromatic protein-like substances accumulating in R1 and humic acid-like substances and soluble microbial by-product-like substances in R2. In contrast, R1 exhibited lower abundance of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) but higher proteins to polysaccharides ratio (PN/PS) than those in R2. High PN/PS showed advantages for accelerating photogranule formation with a compact structure. Furthermore, more enriched ar-omatic protein-like and humic acid-like EPS were identified in R2 compared with R1, suggesting they were more significant contributors to granulation in R2. Finally, the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) results revealed that metabolism and genetic information processing were the most abundant metabolic path-ways, which were responsible for excellent pollutants removal and stable granulation. Therefore, this study demonstrates the impacts of SMP and EPS on photogranulation and reveals the biological mechanism that drives granular structure and function.
