Aerobic nitrification–denitrification by heterotrophic Bacillus strains

Impact resistance of different factors on ammonia removal by heterotrophic nitrification–aerobic denitrification bacterium Aeromonas sp. HN-02

“…Some studies showed that 0.5 mM of Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ (equaled to 31.77 mg L À1 of Cu 2+ and 32.70 mg L À1 of Zn 2+ ) did not affect the growth and ammonia removal for heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification bacterium Bacillus sp. PK15 (Kim et al, 2005). In addition, 1 mM Cu 2+ (equaled to 63.55 mg L À1 of Cu 2+ ) added into synthetic wastewater gave great promotion effect on key enzymes of heterotrophic nitrification (Qiao et al, 2012).…”

“…However, this approach is cost-intensive and time-consuming, because nitrifying bacteria grow slowly and require different conditions (Metcalf and Eddy, 2003). As a new way of nitrogen removal, heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification phenomenon widely exists in the natural environment and wastewater treatment facilities (Kim et al, 2005;Joo et al, 2005;Robertson and Kuenen, 1990). Compared with traditional ways, it is widely focused for its much higher growth rate and more efficient substrate removal with simultaneous nitrogen removal and organic carbon degradation.…”

Heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification at low nutrient conditions by a newly isolated bacterium, Acinetobacter sp. SYF26

“…In this study, the bacterial growth might have been restricted at low nutrient conditions, which resulted in a low ammonium removal rate. Previous studies have also shown that heterotrophic nitrifying activity was affected by nitrogen and carbon components (Brierley & Wood, 2001;Joo et al, 2005;Kim et al, 2005).…”

Identification of Indigenous Bacteria Isolated from Shrimp Aquaculture Wastewater with Bioremediation Application: Total Ammoniacal Nitrogen (TAN) and Nitrite Removal

“…Bacillus spp. has been widely used in bioremediation of wastewater (Chen et al 2013;Kim et al 2005). For instance, 'B3 (Bio Best Bacillus) process' (Korean Patent No.151928) has been well known as advanced wastewater treatment system.…”

“…For instance, 'B3 (Bio Best Bacillus) process' (Korean Patent No.151928) has been well known as advanced wastewater treatment system. Bacillus strains were predominantly used in this system for the wastewater treatment (Kim et al 2005). Moreover, the study shows that simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, i.e.…”
