4/2/2019 Effect of ON Ratio on the Removal of Nitrogen and Microbial Characteristics in the Water Saturated Denitrifying Section of a Two-Stage C... <br /> elevate S-EPS and LB-EPS further. Their concentrations all remained below 10 mg/g SS. In contrast, " <br /> the fraction of TB-EPS (panel 8c)was higher in T2 than in T1,and higher still in T3,with ` <br /> concentrations exceeding 10 mg/g SS. The total EPS reached nearly 30 mg/g SS in T3 (panel 8d). This <br /> increase in biofilm EPS as a result of the increase by ON ratio was mostly attributed to TB-EPS, <br /> confirming that TB-EPS is the key factor affecting the concentration of total EPS [19]. <br /> 10 <br /> y a-I'rntan in S.1 I'S 9 -+•-Poecm m I b <br /> -0--CarNkdrate in S+PS t l'arthhyJratc in!ii t o- <br /> g -T-Tanl S-FPS � 8 �-I nr11 B.I.Iti __► 7 <br /> r <br /> f `r' <br /> -, ' ♦ E T <br /> 6 <br /> 5 5 �— -_.- __ • - <br /> 4 . <br /> 2 !_ <br /> T1 T2 TJ T1 T2 T3 <br /> E%pedmeatal tests <br /> oftwo stages CRI system [spettmenl:d festa of twn steges CRI%)stern <br /> a h <br /> 14 40 160 <br /> -+-I'mtcm m 11 LPS t total WS <br /> 12 em <br /> +CarKANdrate in 1'WFPS 36 Pcrceape of prnkut m total W., 140 <br /> �-I ural I Il-F:PS v: <•,IYnrnma),a.d carlxeh\'trate m tnul F.PS <br /> U 30 120 <br /> E t0 E --+ <br /> v a 25 100- <br /> a <br /> H ���• y 20 80 <br /> 6 0 <br /> 15 60 <br /> r j C to �-- 41i <br /> u u <br /> v 2 + 5 2U <br /> � t <br /> 0 � 0 <br /> 0 T <br /> T, 72 T3 , T2 T3 <br /> I:spenntcnial tests 0f two stages CRI sytwrt f.rpcnmental tests of two stages('RI s}stem <br /> J <br /> Figure 8 <br /> The concentrations of EPS(triangles),and its protein(squares)and carbohydrate(circles)fractions(all <br /> expressed as mg/g SS)in the sand of the second stage system.(a)S-EPS;(b)LB-EPS;(c)TB-EPS;(d) <br /> Total EPS.The percentages of protein and carbohydrate fractions in total EPS are also shown as bars in <br /> (d) <br /> The comparisons of protein and carbohydrate fractions of EPS between T1, T2 and T3 produced a less <br /> clear picture,with an increase for proteins as a result of increased ON ratio in S-EPS and TB-EPS but <br /> not in LB-EPS. For the carbohydrate fraction, the trends were in the opposite direction(Figure 8). The <br /> reason for these observations may be that as long as the nitrogen source was sufficient in the influent, <br /> addition of extra glucose could promote the formation of protein in S-EPS, but this limited the <br /> production of carbohydrates due to competition. The fractions of both protein and carbohydrate were <br /> increased in TB-EPS when the C/N ratio was increased(Figure 8c),which indicated that the increase of <br /> carbon source could simultaneously promote the increase of protein and carbohydrate concentrations in <br /> biofilm TB-EPS. Moreover,the contents of protein and carbohydrate in total EPS (Figure 8d) showed <br /> the same changing trends as those of TB-EPS, which indicates that increasing the ON ratio in the <br /> https://www.ncbi.nim.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6069465/ 14/18 <br />
