Abstract

Abstract

Soil-groundwater organic pollution in key industrial sites is a critical problem to be solved urgently in restoration of water and soil environment. The distribution of microbial communities in the soil-groundwater system plays an important role in the migration, transformation and biodegradation of these organic pollutants. Taking a typical vertical profile of a petrochemical site in the Loess Plateau in Northwest China as an example, based on 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing technology, this study finely describes the vertical distribution characteristics of microbial communities structure, diversity and their metabolic function differences in the soil-vadose zone-phreatic aquifer-aquitard continuous heterogeneous media field, and reveals the impact of lithological composition and depth on the vertical distribution of microbial community structure and function.The results suggested that there were significant differences in the vertical distribution of microbial community structure and diversity in the media field of the soil-groundwater system, which exhibited different metabolic functions and degradation modes of petroleum pollutants.Propionibacteriales in the vadose zone layer and Betaproteobacteriales in the phreatic aquifer were not only the dominant species, but also the biomarker species among the groups, which contributed to the main relevant different metabolic functions.Depth and lithology separately affected different metabolic functions. Microorganisms in the vadose zone, aquifer and its underlying aquitard acted synergistically to degrade petroleum pollutants with aromatic compounds degradation and dark hydrogen oxidation, respectively.
