    En el manuscrito se describe la estructura y composici贸n microbiana de un lodo de un humedal natural y sus conductas cin茅ticas de la nitrificaci贸n, desnitrificaci贸n y anammox, en presencia y ausencia de cromoWetlands have been considered a feasible technology for wastewater treatment in the last decades; however, information on the kinetics and microbial structure of nitrogen cycle bacteria involved on the rhizosphere activity of natural wetlands polluted with chromium is still scarce. The goal was to evaluate the kinetic behavior of nitrification, denitrification, and ANAMMOX on rhizosphere sludge, with and without chromium, through batch cultures, as well as the microbial structure using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). The microbial sludge was able to nitrify (3.8 卤 0.2 mg NO3--N/gVSS-h) and carry out the ANAMMOX (0.67 卤 0.05 mg NH4+-N/gVSS-h), however, denitrifying activity was not observed. Chromium inhibited the nitrifying process, and the IC50 obtained for the nitrifying activity was of 7.9 mg CrVI/L. ANAMMOX activity was stopped in the presence of chromium, even to the lowest chromium concentration tested. Recovery cultures showed that ANAMMOX bacteria suffered some damage by chromium presence since they required more than 5 days to recover the activity. Microbial results indicated that Xanthomonadaceae (17.17%), Ignavibacteriaceae (16.52%), Trueperaceae (10.66%) and Chitinophagaceae (10.06%) dominated in the microbial sludge, whereas Nitrosomonas and Planctomycetaceae were in lesser proportion. This research improves the understanding of bacteria behavior on natural wetlands polluted with metals

    Las energ铆as limpias son las 煤nicas energ铆as renovables capaces de reemplazar el uso de los combustibles f贸siles. El uso de las energ铆as limpias en las Plantas de Tratamiento de Aguas Residuales disminuye los costos de operaci贸n. En el presente trabajo,un calentador solar se emple贸 para controlar la temperatura de un reactor UASB con el prop贸sito de depurar un agua residual industrial compleja por digesti贸n anaerobia. El reactor se oper贸 con tres temperaturas (16, 20 y 30 潞C), 11 g DQO/L-d y un TRH de 6 h. Adem谩s, se evalu贸 el efecto de un co-sustrato en la degradaci贸n de la DQO, en cultivos lote. En el estado estacionario,las eficiencias de remoci贸n de la DQO fueron de 8.6, 20 y 40%, para las temperaturas de 16, 20 y 30 潞C, respectivamente. El incremento de la temperatura mejor贸 la producci贸n de metano, alcanzando 257卤8.6 ml CH4/g DQO removida. La adici贸n de 200 y 400 mg glucosa/L en cultivos lote mejoraron las eficiencias de remoci贸n y la tasa de consumo de la DQO. Finalmente, un calentador solar podr铆a ser una tecnolog铆a factible para controlar la temperatura de un reactor UASB y mejorar la eficiencia de degradaci贸n de la materia org谩nica

    Durante los primeros meses de confinamiento por la pandemia debido al coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 se cre贸 una ola de informaci贸n sobre sus v铆as de propagaci贸n, y entre ellas cobr贸 relevancia la teor铆a sobre su presencia en las aguas residuales. En este texto se presentan algunos estudios al respecto, cuya conclusi贸n es que el virus en aguas residuales no representa un riesgo de infecci贸n

    Anammox activity of sludge coming from wetland monocots (typha sp.): kinetic study actividad anammox

    The anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) activity was evaluated using sludge obtained from the rhizome of Typha sp., found in a natural wetland localized in the J麓ose Antonio 麓 Alzate dam, Toluca Valley,Mexico. Five NO2 -N concentrations (15, 30, 50, 70 and 100 mg/L) were evaluated and the ammonium remained constant at 100 10 mg N/L. All cultures presented a lag phase in the ammonium consumption. Nevertheless, after the phase lag the ammonium oxidation was linked to nitrite reduction, producing N2. The nitrite consumption eciencies for the concentrations evaluated from 15 to 50 mg/L of NO2 -N were above 95%, while the ammonium consumption eciency increased from 14 to 48%. In experiments with 70 and 100 mg/L of NO2 -N, nitrite consumption eciencies were 74 and 58% respectively. The higher nitrite concentrations tested inhibited the anammox process since the specific rates diminished at 0.51 and 0.44 mg NO2-N/g VSS d respectively. This study provides new and useful information about the anammox activity in sludges coming from wetlands, and these can be used as potential inoculum to treat wastewaters into anammox reactors, or in constructed wetlands
