Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on improving the recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) from industrial wastewater, which could support a sustainable circular bioeconomy.
  • A novel approach was used to separate nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria using biocarriers, allowing for better nitrogen removal and enhanced growth of PHA-storing microbial cultures.
  • Results showed that with reduced sludge retention time, the PHA content and abundance of PHA-storing bacteria increased significantly, indicating a more efficient method for cultivating these bacteria in wastewater with low carbon to nitrogen ratios.

Nitrogen (N) removal from high-salinity wastewater is a major challenge. The aerobic-heterotrophic nitrogen removal (AHNR) process has been demonstrated to be feasible for treating hypersaline wastewater. In this study, Halomonas venusta SND-01, a halophilic strain capable of performing AHNR, was isolated from saltern sediment.
