This study investigates the interaction between cyanobacteria and bacteria in photogranules using isolation, reactor operation, and multiomics analysis. The results show that symbiotic bacteria play a crucial role in the formation and stability of photogranules by cross-feeding with cyanobacteria for macromolecular polysaccharide synthesis. Different types of bacteria have different functions in photogranules and have complex interactions with cyanobacteria.
Photogranules are dense algal-bacterial aggregates used in aeration-free and carbon-negative wastewater treatment, wherein filamentous cyanobacteria (FC) are essential components. However, little is known about the functional role of symbiotic bacteria in photogranulation. Herein, we combined cyanobacterial isolation, reactor operation, and multiomics analysis to investigate the cyanobacterial-bacterial interaction during photogranulation. The addition of FC to the inoculated sludge achieved a 1.4-fold higher granule size than the control, and the aggregation capacity of FC-dominant photogranules was closely related to the extracellular polysaccharide (PS) concentration (R = 0.86). Importantly, we found that cross-feeding between FC and symbiotic bacteria for macromolecular PS synthesis is at the heart of photogranulation and substantially enhanced the granular stability. Chloroflexi-affiliated bacteria intertwined with FC throughout the photogranules and promoted PS biosynthesis using the partial nucleotide sugars produced by FC. Proteobacteria-affiliated bacteria were spatially close to FC, and highly expressed genes for vitamin B1 and B12 synthesis, contributing the necessary cofactors to promote FC proliferation. In addition, Bacteroidetes-affiliated bacteria degraded FC-derived carbohydrates and influenced granules development. Our metabolic characterization identified the functional role of symbiotic bacteria of FC during photogranulation and shed light on the critical cyanobacterial-bacterial interactions in photogranules from the viewpoint of cross-feeding.
