Granule-based partial denitrification (PD) is a technology that can supply stable nitrite for applying anaerobic ammonia oxidation in wastewater treatment, and triclosan (TCS) is a frequently detected antibacterial agent in wastewater treatment plants, therefore it is possible that TCS could enter into wastewater that is treated using PD technology. However, the active microorganisms responsible for PD and TCS removing in granule-based PD system have not been clearly identified and it is currently not clear how TCS affects the PD process. In this study, the impacts of TCS on PD performance, PD microbial community, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), active PD bacteria and TCS-degrading bacteria in a granule-based PD system were investigated. 3 mg/L TCS had adverse influence on PD process, but PD system could recover gradually after inhibiting of 10 days. After a period of domestication, PD granular sludge could achieve 10.66% of TCS degradation efficiency and 43.62% of TCS adsorption efficiency. Microbes might increase their resistance to TCS by increasing the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances, and the secretion of protein might play a more pivotal role than the secretion of polysaccharides in resisting TCS. The short-term shock of TCS might cause the propagation of acrA-03, while the long-term operation of TCS could propagate fabK and intI1. DNA stable isotope probing assay indicated that Thauera was active PD bacteria and TCS-degrading bacteria in the granule-based PD system, and it could contribute to nitrite accumulation and TCS degradation, simultaneously.
