Abstract

Abstract

With the rapid development of modern cities and industrialization, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have become essential facilities for protecting water environments. However, the tailwater discharged from a WWTP still has adverse effects on the effluent-receiving area (ERA). Long-term discharge of WWTP effluents into coastal areas has led to deteriorating seawater quality, but the response of coastal microbial communities is not yet well understood. This study chose two ERAs, named as JX and SY respectively, on the north and south coast of Hangzhou Bay, China, as the study areas. Environmental quality surveys were conducted, and microbial communities in sediment were analyzed using metagenomic sequencing to assess the potential impacts of wastewater discharge on microbial community structures and functions. The results indicated that land-based discharge had impacts on microbial communities in the sediment of the ERAs. JX and SY exhibited distinct community compositions, with key environmental factors being water chemical oxygen demand (COD) and water depth. Functional differences were also observed between the two ERAs, particularly in carbon metabolism. In JX, differential genes related to methane metabolism were found; while in SY, differential genes related to sugar fermentation pathways were identified. Water COD and sediment total organic carbon (TOC) and petroleum compounds were identified as the major influence factors. These findings are of great importance for the environmental management of ERA and provide scientific reference for improving the discharge standards of WWTP.
