“…The inbuilt MBBR enriched the genus norank_f__Caldilineaceae , which would benefit to denitrification in the aquarium. In addition to that, among the top 30 genus in the aquarium, the certain genera Pseudofulvimonas ( Lu et al, 2023 ), Gemmobacter ( Tan et al, 2020 ), Runella ( Zhao et al, 2017 ), Rhodobacter ( James et al, 2023 ), Flavobacterium ( Fan et al, 2021 ), Fusibacter ( Han et al, 2021 ), Reyranella, Mycobacterium ( Jiao et al, 2022 ), Hyphomicrobium ( Fan et al, 2021 ), Pseudoxanthomonas ( Jian et al, 2023 ), Novosphingobium ( Sun et al, 2022 ), Gordonia ( Tran et al, 2022 ), and Methyloversatilis ( Zhai et al, 2020 ) were all reported to be denitrifiers. Pseudofulvimonas , Novosphingobium , and Methyloversatilis were abundant (sequence number > 100) only in the suspended biofilms, while Flavobacterium , Fusibacter , and Pseudoxanthomonas were abundant only in the sediment (sequence number > 100; Figure 5C ).…”
