The feasibility of NO removal by the synergistic action of a prevailing denitrifying anoxic methane oxidising (DAMO), and nitrate-reducing and sulfide-oxidising bacterial (NR-SOB) consortium, using CH and H S from biogas as electron donors in a biotrickling filter was investigated. The influence of NO concentration on N O production during this process was also evaluated. The results showed that NO was removed at rates up to 2.8 g m h using CH as electron donor. N O production rates correlated with NO concentration in the liquid phase, with a 10-fold increase in N O production as NO concentration increased from 50 to 200 g m . The use of H S as co-electron donor resulted in a 13-fold increase in NO removal rates (∼18 gNO m h ) and complete denitrification under steady-state conditions, which was supported by higher abundances of narG, nirK, and nosZ denitrifying genes. Although the relative abundance of the DAMO population in the consortium was reduced from 60% to 13% after H S addition, CH removals were not compromised and H S removal efficiencies of 100% were achieved. This study confirmed (i) the feasibility of co-oxidising CH and H S with denitrification, as well as (ii) the critical need to control NO concentration to minimize N O production by anoxic denitrifiers.
