The 454 pyrosequencing technique was used to investigate the composition of the microbial community in the treatment system. The system yielded a stable effluent concentration of chemical oxygen demand （202 ± 23 mg/L）, total nitrogen （62.1 ± 7.1 mg/L）, ammonia （0.3 ±0.13 mg/L） and total phosphorus （8.3 ± 0.9 rag/L）, and the reactors played different roles in specific pollutant removal. The exploration of the microbial community in the system revealed that： （1） the microbial diversity of anaerobic reactors A1 and A2, in which organic pollutants were massively degraded, was much higher than that in anoxic A3 and aerobic MBR; （2） although the community composition in each reactor was quite different, bacteria assigned to the classes Clostridia, Bacteroidia, and Synergistia were important and common microorganisms for organic pollutant degradation in the anaerobic units, and bacteria from Alphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria were the dominant microbial population in A3 and MBR; （3） the taxon identification indicated that Arcobacter in the anaerobic reactors and Thauera in the anoxic reactor were two representative genera in the biological process. Our results proved that the biological A3-MBR process is an alternative technique for treating wastewater from food waste.展开更多
