Bromate is a disinfection byproduct (DBP) that forms during the ozonation of bromide-containing natural water, which may cause health risks to humans. In this review, we provide an overview of the mechanism of bromate formation, microbial communities and bioreactors that are responsible for bromate reduction. Bromate can be formed through two pathways of bromide oxidation by ozone or by ^·OH, and it can be removed by biological approaches. Members belonging to phyla of Spirochaetes, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Clostridium, Deinococcus-Thermus and Bacteroidetes have been identified as capable of reducing bromate to bromide. Multiple configurations of biofilm bioreactors have been employed to cultivate microbial communities to perform bromate removal. The rapid development of multiomics has and will continue to accelerate the elucidation of the mechanisms involved in bromate and other DBP conversions, as well as the interaction patterns among different bacterial subdivisions in the bioremoval of DBPs.

减少溴酸盐的微生物：现状和前景。

溴酸盐是在对含溴化物的天然水进行臭氧化过程中形成的消毒副产物（DBP），可能对人类健康造成危害。在这篇综述中，我们概述了导致溴酸盐减少的溴酸盐形成机制，微生物群落和生物反应器。溴酸盐可通过臭氧或^· OH的两条溴化物氧化途径形成，并可通过生物方法除去。属于螺旋藻，变形杆菌，硬毛菌，放线菌，梭状芽胞杆菌，嗜热球菌-嗜热菌和拟杆菌的门的成员已鉴定出能够将溴酸盐还原为溴化物。生物膜生物反应器的多种配置已被用于培养微生物群落以进行溴酸盐去除。多元组学的快速发展已经并将继续加速对溴酸盐和其他DBP转化所涉及的机制的阐明，以及在DBP的生物去除中不同细菌细分之间的相互作用方式。
