Reference:Chen et al., 2012 Title:Simultaneous Heterotrophic Nitrification and Aerobic Denitrification by Bacterium Rhodococcus Sp. CPZ24 Pubmed ID:22531166 Pubmed link:Link Full research link:Link Abstract: Rhodococcus sp. CPZ24 was isolated from swine wastewater and identified. Batch (0.25 L flask) experiments of nitrogen removal under aerobic growth conditions showed complete removal of 50 mg L(-1) ammonium nitrogen within 20 h, while nitrate nitrogen removal reached 67%. A bioreactor (50 L) was used to further assess the heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification abilities of Rhodococcus sp. CPZ24. The results showed that 85% of the ammonium nitrogen (100 mg L(-1)) was transformed to nitrification products (NO(3)(-)-N and NO(2)(-)-N) (13%), intracellular nitrogen (24%), and gaseous denitrification products (48%) within 25 h. The ammonium nitrogen removal rate was 3.4 mg L(-1)h(-1). The results indicate that the strain CPZ24 carries out simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, demonstrating a potential use of the strain for wastewater treatment. |
