We studied the microbial functional and structural interactions between nitrate (NO(3)(-)) and perchlorate (ClO(4)(-)) reductions in the hydrogen (H(2))-based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR). When H(2) was not limiting, ClO(4)(-) and NO(3)(-) reductions were complete, and the MBfR's biofilm was composed mainly of bacteria from the ε- and β-proteobacteria classes, with autotrophic genera Sulfuricurvum, Hydrogenophaga, and Dechloromonas dominating the biofilm. Based on functional-gene and pyrosequencing assays, Dechloromonas played the most important role in ClO(4)(-) reduction, while Sulfuricurvum and Hydrogenophaga were responsible for NO(3)(-) reduction. When H(2) delivery was insufficient to completely reduce both electron acceptors, NO(3)(-) reduction out-competed ClO(4)(-) reduction for electrons from H(2), and mixotrophs become important in the MBfR biofilm. β-Proteobacteria became the dominant class, and Azonexus replaced Sulfuricurvum as a main genus. The changes suggest that facultative, NO(3)(-)-reducing bacteria had advantages over strict autotrophs when H(2) was limiting, because organic microbial products became important electron donors when H(2) was severely limiting.
