The objective of this project is to conduct an in-depth investigation into the impact of aerobic starvation conditions on the structure and function of microbial communities in enhanced biological phosphorus removal systems through genomic sequencing and comparative analysis. Enhanced biological phosphorus removal is a key technology in wastewater treatment, and aerobic starvation, as an environmental stressor, may significantly alter microbial metabolic pathways and community composition. We plan to use high-throughput sequencing technology to sequence the genomes of microbial samples subjected to aerobic starvation for varying durations and compare the differences in gene expression and functional changes among them. Through this research, we anticipate uncovering the specific effects of aerobic starvation on microbial community structure and function, including which microbial groups are more active under aerobic starvation conditions and how they adapt to such environmental changes. Additionally, we will explore the potential changes in the phosphorus removal capabilities of microbes under aerobic starvation conditions, which is of significant importance for optimizing biological phosphorus removal processes and enhancing the efficiency of wastewater treatment.
