Area of Science:

  • Environmental Microbiology
  • Biotechnology
  • Wastewater Treatment

Background:

  • Aerobic denitrification offers an alternative to traditional anoxic methods for nitrogen removal.
  • Identifying efficient microbial strains is crucial for optimizing wastewater treatment processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To isolate and characterize a novel aerobic denitrifier.
  • To determine the optimal conditions for aerobic denitrification by the isolated strain.
  • To investigate the influence of key environmental factors on denitrification efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation of Citrobacter diversus from nitrification and denitrification sludge.
  • Batch reactor experiments to monitor nitrogen oxide concentrations.
  • Systematic variation of carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels.

Main Results:

  • Citrobacter diversus demonstrated stable nitrate reduction at concentrations above 180 mg N l(-1).
  • Optimal denitrification activity was observed at a C/N ratio of 4-5, which is higher than typically required for anoxic denitrification.
  • The optimal range for dissolved oxygen concentration for both growth and denitrification rates was found to be 2-6 mg l(-1).

Conclusions:

  • Citrobacter diversus is a promising aerobic denitrifier for nitrogen removal.
  • Dissolved oxygen concentration and C/N ratio are critical parameters influencing aerobic denitrification efficiency.
  • The findings provide valuable insights for the design and operation of biological wastewater treatment systems utilizing aerobic denitrification.
