Abstract

Abstract

Exploring the spatial-temporal distribution and assembly mechanisms of microbial communities have always been the goal and challenge in environmental microbial ecology. In recent years, the patterns and theories of microbial ecology have been gradually applied to engineering systems. Taxa-area relationship, taxa-time relationship, and distance decay effect have been verified in the microbial community distribution of wastewater treatment systems. In addition, microbial spatial-temporal distribution has been expanded from the discovery and description of community distribution to the driving factors identification that shape community distribution, i.e., the community assembly mechanisms. Here, we reviewed the spatial-temporal distribution and assembly mechanisms of the microbial community in wastewater treatment systems and foresee future development. We emphasized the importance of combining ecological theory with engineering practices. In the future, breakthroughs can be made in the relationships among microbial biodiversity, assembly mechanisms, and wastewater treatment performance; core taxa and rare biosphere research; and the exploitation of microbial spatio-temporal distribution and assembly mechanisms using multi-omics technology.
