The input of nitrate to the aquifer inhibits Fe(III) reduction and As mobilization preventing As groundwater contamination. However, the addition of N-DAMO enrichment cultures led to Fe(III) reduction and stimulated As and Mn release into the water. Our results suggest that input of N fertilizers to the aquifer decreases As mobility and that CH4 cannot serve as an electron donor for NO3- reduction.
The input of nitrate to the aquifer inhibits Fe(III) reduction and As mobilization preventing As groundwater contamination. The drinking water quality in Southeast Asia is at risk due to arsenic (As) groundwater contamination. Intensive use of fertilizers may lead to nitrate (NO3-) leaching into aquifers, yet very little is known about its effect on iron (Fe) and As mobility in water. We ran a set of microcosm experiments using aquifer sediment from Vietnam supplemented with (NO3-)-N-15 and (CH4)-C-13. To assess the effect of nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (N-DAMO) we also inoculated the sediment with two different N-DAMO enrichment cultures. We found that native microorganisms and both N-DAMO enrichments could efficiently consume all NO3- in 5 days. However, CH4 oxidation was observed only in the inoculated microcosms, suggesting that the native microbial community did not perform N-DAMO. In uninoculated microcosms, NO3- was preferentially used over Fe(III) as an electron acceptor and consequently inhibited Fe(III) reduction and As mobilization. The addition of N-DAMO enrichment cultures led to Fe(III) reduction and stimulated As and Mn release into the water. The archaeal community in all treatments was dominated by Ca. Methanoperedens while the bacterial community consisted of various denitrifiers. Our results suggest that input of N fertilizers to the aquifer decreases As mobility and that CH4 cannot serve as an electron donor for NO3- reduction.
