Nitrogen Removal Characteristics of Pseudomonas putida Y-9 Capable of Heterotrophic Nitrification and Aerobic Denitrification at Low Temperature

Abstract

The cold-adapted bacterium Pseudomonas putida Y-9 was investigated and exhibited excellent capability for nitrogen removal at 15°C. The strain capable of heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification could efficiently remove ammonium, nitrate, and nitrite at an average removal rate of 2.85 mg, 1.60 mg, and 1.83 mg NL−1 h−1, respectively. Strain Y-9 performed nitrification in preference to denitrification when ammonium and nitrate or ammonium and nitrite coexisted in the solution. Meantime, the presence of nitrate had no effect on the ammonium removal rate of strain Y-9, and yet the presence of high concentration of nitrite would inhibit the cell growth and decrease the nitrification rate. The experimental results indicate that P. putida Y-9 has potential application for the treatment of wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonium along with its oxidation products at low temperature.

Effects of organic loading rates on microbial communities and biogas production from water hyacinth: a case of mono‐ and co‐digestion

“…According to Feng Su et al . and Xu et al ., both Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas are capable of carrying out denitrification and nitrification conversion of nitrate and ammonia into nitrogen gas.…”

“…The presence of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas may have contributed to the continuous decrease in biogas production during co-digestion. 57,58,66 Their presence signals the removal of nitrate from the digesters and during denitrification of nitrate to nitrogen gas, the intermediate nitrite is produced. According to Clarens et al, 66 the presence of nitrite (of about 0.18 mmol L −1 ) showed a higher inhibitory ability to methanogenesis.…”

Bacterial community structure and removal performances in IFAS-MBRs: A pilot plant case study

“…These genera are known for their nitrification ability (Xu et al, 2017). In particular, Acinetobacter strains isolated from the activated sludge of a coking wastewater treatment plant exhibited a huge ability to remove ammonium, nitrite and nitrate (Liu et al, 2015).…”
