Περίληψη: Salinity and fulvic acid frequently coexist in high-strength wastewater, yet their combined effects on anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) remain unclear. This study evaluated their impacts on reactor performance, microbial community structure, and functional genes. Moderate salinity (5-10 g L-1 NaCl) slightly enhanced anammox activity, whereas higher salinity (15 g L-1) and fulvic acid (> 60 mg L-1) significantly inhibited nitrogen removal. Under such combined stress, specific anammox activity decreased by about 40%, indicating a synergistic inhibition. Extracellular polymeric substances increased by 198%, suggesting a microbial stress-response strategy. Microbial community analysis showed a decline in Planctomycetes by 11%, and enrichment of Proteobacteria by 7% and Chloroflexi by 4%. Metagenomic results revealed suppression of key anammox genes and enrichment of denitrification genes, with quorum sensing and polysaccharide biosynthesis genes increased, suggesting EPS-mediated adaptation under combined stress. These findings provide insights for improving anammox stability in saline and humic-rich wastewater treatment systems.
