Abstract
A heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) strain, Acinetobacter tandoii CW-1, was isolated from the Microcystis-attached microbiota in Lake Taihu. This strain demonstrated exceptional nitrogen removal capacities, achieving peak removal rates of 3.9 mg N L−1 h−1 for ammonium (NH4+), 5.8 mg N L−1 h−1 for nitrate (NO3−), and 2.5 mg N L−1 h−1 for nitrite (NO2−). During operational optimization, strain CW-1 demonstrated efficient utilization of the organic carbon present in soybean processing wastewater (SW) under slightly acidic condition (pH 5.26). Notably, it maintained an ammonia removal efficiency of 48.5 % after 48 h of cultivation at 10 °C, indicating its functionality at low temperatures. Under the optimized conditions, 99.4 % of the NH4+ in the SW was removed within 48 h. Concurrently, 60.0 % of the Chemical Oxygen Demand and 28.0 % of the dissolved total phosphorus were also eliminated. Whole-genome sequencing revealed a multifunctional N-removal system in which NH4+ is eliminated via assimilation while NO3− is removed through assimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia. To our knowledge, this study represents the first successful utilization of an HN-AD strain for the treatment of SW, demonstrating the considerable potential of strain CW-1 in this field.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Water Process Engineering aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and impact in all areas of the engineering of water and wastewater processing . Papers on advanced and novel treatment processes and technologies are particularly welcome. The Journal considers papers in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology applications in water, novel oxidation and separation processes, membrane processes (except those for desalination) , catalytic processes for the removal of water contaminants, sustainable processes, water reuse and recycling, water use and wastewater minimization, integrated/hybrid technology, process modeling of water treatment and novel treatment processes. Submissions on the subject of adsorbents, including standard measurements of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium will only be considered if there is a genuine case for novelty and contribution, for example highly novel, sustainable adsorbents and their use: papers on activated carbon-type materials derived from natural matter, or surfactant-modified clays and related minerals, would not fulfil this criterion. The Journal particularly welcomes contributions involving environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, including those which are energy-efficient, with minimal or no chemical consumption, and capable of water recycling and reuse that minimizes the direct disposal of wastewater to the aquatic environment. Papers that describe novel ideas for solving issues related to water quality and availability are also welcome, as are those that show the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. The Journal will consider papers dealing with processes for various water matrices including drinking water (except desalination), domestic, urban and industrial wastewaters, in addition to their residues. It is expected that the journal will be of particular relevance to chemical and process engineers working in the field. The Journal welcomes Full Text papers, Short Communications, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to Editors and Case Studies
