Abstract:
Paracoccus versutus LYM was characterized with the ability of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) in presence of NH4(+)-N and NO3(-)-N (140mg/L-N each). However, there was approximate 95.80mg/L NO2(-)-N left during SND process. Fe(2+) was added in the SND medium and it benefited bacterial growth and further converted NO2(-)-N a little. Besides, remaining NO2(-)-N could be completely reduced by adding carbon donors in presence of NH4(+)-N and NO3(-)-N, whose converting efficiencies also reached 97.09% and 96.34%, respectively. And N2 stayed as the main product of SND process. While NO2(-)-N and NH4(+)-N were present simultaneously, strain LYM could also remove nitrogen compounds thoroughly with sufficient carbon source. But there was no NO2(-)-N reduced as sole nitrogen source in the medium even if C/N ratio reached as high as 30.
