Publisher Copyright: © 2024 The AuthorsThe phototrophic capability of Candidatus Accumulibacter (Accumulibacter), a common polyphosphate accumulating organism (PAO) in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) systems, was investigated in this study. Accumulibacter is phylogenetically related to the purple bacteria Rhodocyclus from the family Rhodocyclaceae, which belongs to the class Betaproteobacteria. Rhodocyclus typically exhibits both chemoheterotrophic and phototrophic growth, however, limited studies have evaluated the phototrophic potential of Accumulibacter. To address this gap, short and extended light cycle tests were conducted using a highly enriched Accumulibacter culture (95%) to evaluate its responses to illumination. Results showed that, after an initial period of adaptation to light conditions (approximately 4–5 h), Accumulibacter exhibited complete phosphorus (P) uptake by utilising polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and additionally by consuming glycogen, which contrasted with its typical aerobic metabolism. Mass, energy, and redox balance analyses demonstrated that Accumulibacter needed to employ phototrophic metabolism to meet its energy requirements. Calculations revealed that the light reactions contributed to the generation of, at least more than 67% of the ATP necessary for P uptake and growth. Extended light tests, spanning 21 days with dark/light cycles, suggested that Accumulibacter generated ATP through light during initial operation, however, it likely reverted to conventional anaerobic/aerobic metabolism under dark/light conditions due to microalgal growth in the mixed culture, contributing to oxygen production. In contrast, extended light tests with an enriched Tetrasphaera culture, lacking phototrophic genes in its genome, clearly demonstrated that phototrophic P uptake did not occur. These findings highlight the adaptive metabolic capabilities of Accumulibacter, enabling it to utilise phototrophic pathways for energy generation during oxygen deprivation, which holds the potential to advance phototrophic-EBPR technology development.UCIBIO - Applied Molecular Biosciences UnitRUNCarvalho, V.
