[0002] Nitrate pollution caused by excessive fertilization threatens ecological security and human health. On the one hand, nitrate is a common water pollutant; on the other hand, nitrogen in nitrate is a basic component of many biological and chemical products, and the resource utilization methods of converting nitrate into fertilizers, energy, and proteins have attracted attention.

[0003] To achieve efficient nitrate removal, extensive research has been conducted on denitrification biotechnology, including simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, short-cut nitrification and denitrification, and anammox, among which denitrification is a major method for biological nitrate removal. However, biotechnology has consistently faced challenges such as microbial community regulation and process stability, especially under complex water quality conditions such as fluctuating water quality and high-salinity industrial wastewater, where artificial regulation of biological wastewater treatment technologies is extremely difficult. Optical biotechnology, such as photosynthetic cell factories and solar-powered biohybrids, is an economical and environmentally friendly method for synthesizing nitrogen-based products such as ammonia, peptides, and proteins. However, the inhibitory effect of sunlight on microbial communities limits its further application, and currently, the converted products require further processing and purification, posing economic challenges for industrial application.

[0101] Example 3

[0102] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a light-controlled extracellular polymer solution, comprising the following steps:

[0103] (1) Place 200g of activated sludge in a sequencing batch reactor and introduce 5000g of first nitrate wastewater over a 7min influent time. Perform an anoxic reaction for 380min, followed by 15min settling and 4min drainage to discharge the wastewater, thereby obtaining acclimated activated sludge. Store the acclimated activated sludge at 4℃ for later use. The first nitrate wastewater contains 5wt% NaCl, 150g / L KH2PO4, 50g / L KHCO3, 30g / L CaCO3, 20g / L MgSO4·7H2O, 1ml / L of first trace aqueous solution, and 1ml / L of second trace aqueous solution.

[0104] The first trace aqueous solution contains 5 g / L EDTA·2Na and 5 g / L FeSO4·7H2O; the second trace aqueous solution contains 10 g / L EDTA·2Na, 0.014 g / L H3BO3, 0.43 g / L ZnSO4·7H2O, 0.24 g / L CoCl2·6H2O, 0.99 g / L MnCl2·4H2O, 0.16 g / L CuSO4, 0.19 g / L NiCl2·6H2O, and 0.22 g / L Na2MoO4·2H2O.

[0105] (2) Place 5g of the acclimatized activated sludge prepared in step (1) and 100g of the second nitrate wastewater in a constant temperature shaker and activate it for 27h at 37℃ and 200rpm to obtain activated activated sludge; wherein, the second nitrate wastewater contains 500mg N·L -1 NaNO3, 1000 mg C·L -1NaAc, 10.66mM NH4Cl2, 17.93mM KH2PO4, 32.76mM Na2HPO4·12H2O, 0.41mM MgSO4·7H2O, 9.6mM EDTA·2Na, 9.0mM FeCl3·6H2O, 0.1mMnCl2·4H2O, 1.0mM NaMoO4·2H2O, 0.8mM CuCl2·2H2O, 2.5mM ZnCl2, 1.0mM NaMoO4·2H2O, 0.8mM CuCl2·2H2O, 2.5mM ZnCl2, 9.6mM EDTA·2Na, 9.0mM FeCl3·6H2O, 0.1mM MnCl2·4H2O, 1.0mM NaMoO4·2H2O、0.8mM CuCl2·2H2O, 2.5mM ZnCl2;

[0106] (3) Centrifuge 60ml of the activated sludge prepared in step (2) at 8000g for 5min and discard the supernatant. Wash the centrifuged product 3 times with PBS buffer. Then centrifuge at 8000g for 5min. After washing the centrifuged product with PBS buffer, resuspend the centrifuged product in the first resuspension solution to 60ml to obtain bacterial solution.

[0107] (4) Place 4 ml of the bacterial culture obtained in step (3) and 24 ml of the culture medium into a quartz reactor. Seal the reactor with a rubber gasket cover and wrap it with tin foil to create a dark environment. Then, aerate the reactor with argon gas for 5 minutes to create an anaerobic environment. Next, use a nine-link magnetic stirrer to thoroughly mix the reactants in the quartz reactor. The magnetic stirring speed is 200 rpm. After the reactants are thoroughly mixed, turn on the LED blue light (wavelength 400-450 nm) at 6 mw / cm². 2 The reactants were irradiated with light of high intensity to carry out a photocontrolled metabolic reaction. The concentration of NO3-N in the reactants was measured to be 142.83 mg NO3-N·L. -1The photocontrolled metabolic reaction was stopped. The product was then thoroughly shaken and centrifuged at 4000g for 15 min at 4°C, and the first supernatant was collected. The centrifuged product was resuspended in 5 ml of 5wt% NaCl aqueous solution and stirred evenly using a vortex mixer at 20°C. The mixture was then heated in a water bath at 60°C for 3 min, and stirred again using a vortex mixer at 20°C. The mixture was then centrifuged at 4000g for 15 min at 4°C, and the second supernatant was collected. The product was resuspended in 5 ml of 5wt% NaCl aqueous solution and stirred evenly using a vortex mixer at 20°C. The mixture was then heated in a water bath at 60°C for 30 min, and stirred again using a vortex mixer at 20°C. The mixture was then centrifuged at 10000g for 15 min at 4°C, and the third supernatant was collected.

[0117] (1) 5g of Paracoccus denitrificans and 100g of secondary nitrate wastewater were placed in a constant temperature shaker and activated for 27h at 37℃ and 200rpm to obtain activated sludge; wherein, the secondary nitrate wastewater contained 500mg N·L -1 NaNO3, 1000 mg C·L -1 NaAc, 10.66mM NH4Cl2, 17.93mM KH2PO4, 32.76mM Na2HPO4·12H2O, 0.41mM MgSO4·7H2O, 9.6mM EDTA·2Na, 9.0mM FeCl3·6H2O, 0.1mM MnCl2·4H2O, 1.0mM NaMoO4·2H2O, 0.8mM CuCl2·2H2O, 2.5mM ZnCl2; 9.6mM EDTA·2Na, 9.0mM FeCl3·6H2O, 0.1mM MnCl2·4H2O, 1.0mM NaMoO4·2H2O, 0.8mM CuCl2·2H2O, 2.5mM ZnCl2;

[0118] (2) Centrifuge 40 ml of the denitrified paracoccus prepared in step (1) at 8000 g for 5 min and discard the supernatant. Wash the centrifuged product 3 times with PBS buffer. Then centrifuge at 8000 g for 5 min. After washing the centrifuged product with PBS buffer, resuspend the centrifuged product in the first resuspension solution to 25 ml to obtain bacterial solution.

[0119] (3) Place 1 ml of the bacterial culture prepared in step (2), 1 ml of the extracellular polymer solution and 28 ml of the culture medium into a quartz reactor. Seal the reactor with a rubber gasket cover and wrap it with tin foil to create a dark environment. Then, argon gas is introduced through a needle for 5 min to create an anaerobic environment. Then, the reactants in the quartz reactor are thoroughly mixed with a nine-link magnetic stirrer. The magnetic stirring speed is 200 rpm. After the reactants are thoroughly mixed, the denitrification reaction is carried out in the dark for 30 h. Samples are taken with a syringe at 0 h, 22 h and 24 h after the start of the reaction. The samples are filtered through a 22 μm filter membrane and the NO3-N concentration is determined by ion chromatography and converted into the removal rate (removal rate = 1 - (NO3-N concentration at the time of test / original NO3-N concentration)). The removal rate results are shown in Table 1.

[0122]

[0123] 3. Metatranscriptome sequencing

[0124] The light-controlled extracellular polymer solutions prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were tested by metatranscriptome sequencing, and the results are as follows: Figure 2 , 3 As shown, where Figure 2 The terms Streptomycin biosynthesis, RIG-like receptor signaling pathway, Galactosine metabolism, Apoptosis-fly, Folate biosynthesis, Carbapenem biosynthesis, Pyrimidine metabolism, Enzymes with EC numbers, Porphyrin metabolism, Ecopolysaccharide biosynthesis, Sulfur relay system, Terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, Secretion system, and Energy metabolism refer to streptomycin biosynthesis, RIG-like receptor signaling pathway, galactose metabolism, apoptosis-fly, folic acid biosynthesis, carbapenem biosynthesis, pyrimidine metabolism, enzymes with EC numbers, porphyrin metabolism, ecopolysaccharide biosynthesis, secretion system, and energy metabolism, respectively. Figure 3The following pathways are identified: sulfur metabolism, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, cardiac muscle contraction, chlorroalkane and chloroalkene degradation, limonene and pinenedearadation, biosynthesis of ansamycins, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, glycocaproic acid and pinenedearadation, and retrograde endocannabinoid signaling.

[0125] Metatranscriptomics revealed changes in metabolic pathway expression induced by yellow light irradiation. Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, the average expression level of the yellow light signaling pathway in the signaling gene panel is low, about 1 / 5 of that of the blue light pathway. The enrichment level is low, and the metabolic pathways related to cofactors and other active substances are not major pathways. Therefore, they cannot play a biocatalytic role with the extracellular polymers generated by blue light irradiation in Example 1.

[0126] Analysis of the catalytic denitrification tests and metatranscriptome results in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 reveals that different light irradiations can directionally regulate and redirect the metabolic flux of the microbial community. Blue light can allocate the metabolic flux of the microbial community to the pathways for synthesizing bioactive substances, thereby converting nitrate into high-value bioactive substances, achieving simultaneous nitrate removal and bioactive substance production, and directly enhancing biological denitrification using bioactive substances. Yellow light, on the other hand, allocates the metabolic flux to central metabolites, reducing the allocation of metabolic flux to bioactive substances; therefore, the extracellular polymers produced under yellow light are unlikely to exert effective biocatalytic activity.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
