Biological treatment processes are critical for sewage purification, wherein microbial interactions are tightly associated with treatment performance. Previous studies have focused on assessing how environmental factors (such as salinity) affect the diversity and composition of the microbial community but ignore the connections among microorganisms. To fill this gap, an international team of researchers conducted an in-depth analysis of microbial interactions at elevated salinity in activated sludge systems.

Given that previous studies have neglected the mechanism of ecological network succession, the research team from Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Beijing Technology and Business University evaluated the effects of elevated salinity on ecological networks of activated sludge system by performing a novel RMT-based network analysis. Their research identified that higher salinity reduced microbial diversity, leading to poor performance of the treatment process, and that the keystone species playing crucial roles in maintaining process stability were dynamic. This work improved our un...
