    Abstract:
    The effects of different current intensities and voltage levels on nutrient removal performance and microbial community evolution in a Bio-Electrical Anammox (BEA) membrane bioreactor (MBR) were evaluated. The nitrogen removal efficiency increased with the current intensity within the range of 64-83 mA, but this improvement was limited at the current further increased. The phosphorus removal in the BEA MBR was attributed to the release of Fe2+, which was closely associated with the applied current to the electrodes. Heme c concentration, enzyme activities, and specific anammox activity exhibited a decreasing trend, while the functional denitrification genes showed a positive correlation with rising voltage. The nitrogen removal efficiency of the BEA system initially increased and then decreased with the voltage rose from 1.5V to 3.5V, peaking at 2.0V of 94.02% ± 1.19%. Transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry results indicated that accelerated cell apoptosis/lysis led to an irreversible collapse of the biological nitrogen removal system at 3.5V. Candidatus Brocadia was the predominant anammox bacteria in the BEA system. In contrast, closely related Candidatus Kuenenia and Chloroflexi bacteria were gradually eliminated in electrolytic environment. The abundances of Proteobacteria-affiliated denitrifiers were increased with the voltage rising since the organic matter released by the cell apoptosis/lysis was accelerated at a high voltage level.
