Effluent clarification and disinfection are major challenges in wastewater management. The cladoceranDaphnia magnahas been proposed as a cost-effective and ecosystem-friendly option to clarify and disinfect secondary effluents, but its efficacy has not been fully tested under different sewage conditions. The present study explores the effects of temperature and nitrate on the efficacy ofD. magnaas a tertiary treatment at two different scales (individual assays and microcosms). Individual assays were employed to determine direct effects of temperature and/or nitrate onD. magnacultured in a suspension of organic matter. Using microcosms under the same environmental conditions, we explored the clearing efficacy ofD. magnainteracting with a natural microbial community. Individual assays revealed thatD. magnamortality increased by 17% at 26 °C, 21% at >250 mg NO3−/l and by 60% at 26 °C and at >250 mg NO3−/l, and individuals displayed reduced body size, filtering rates and fecundity when compared to those at 21 °C and <40 mg NO3−/l. Improved performance under these conditions was also mirrored in the microcosms, with a higher density ofD. magna(>100 ind/l) at 21 °C and <40 mg NO3−/l compared to the number (0–21 ind/l) at 26 °C and/or >250 mg NO3−/l. In the microcosms at 21 °C and <40 mg NO3−/l, turbidity and the density of bacteria, protists and micro-metazoa decreased in relation to those at 26 °C and/or >250 mg NO3−/l. Each treatment developed a unique and characteristic microbial assemblage, andD. magnawas identified as the major driver of the community structure of protists and micro-metazoa. This enabled us to determine taxa vulnerability toD. magnagrazing, and to re-define their tolerance thresholds for nitrate. In conclusion, this study increases our knowledge of how microbes respond to temperature and nitrate pollution, and highlights thatD. magnaefficacy as a tertiary treatment can be seriously compromised by variable environmental conditions.
