Understanding how synthetic microbial community (SMC) respond to environmental disturbances is the key to realizing SMC engineering applications. Here, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and levofloxacin (LOFX) were used as environmental disturbances to study their effects on the aerobic denitrification functional stability of SMC composed of Pseudomonas aeruginosa N2 (PA), Acinetobacter baumannii N1(AC) and Aeromonas hydrophila (AH). The results showed that aerobic denitrification efficiency could be maintained at about 93 % under DBP or LOFX disturbance, and interspecific communication was mainly carried out through N-butyryl-L-homoserine lactone (C
