To investigate the inhibitory effects of various transition metal ions on nitrogen removal and their underlying mechanisms, the single and combined effects of Cu Ni and Zn on Heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) bacteria Acinetobacter sp. TAC-1 were studied in a batch experiment system. The results revealed that increasing concentrations of Cu and Ni had a detrimental effect on the removal of ammonium nitrogen (NH-N) and total nitrogen (TN).

This paper has conducted a study on the microecological health assessment of the sediment and water body of Guixi River in Dianjiang, Chongqing, China, using metagenomics sequencing and microbial biological integrity index (M-IBI) technology. The analysis of physical and chemical characteristics shows that the concentration of TN varies from 2.

The results demonstrated that microecology in the lake exhibits spatiotemporal heterogeneity, and microbial diversity of sediments was significantly higher than that of water body. Further, it was found that there was statistically insignificant positive correlation between microecology of sediments and that of water body.

To study the inhibition effect and underlying mechanism induced by different ion types and ion composition, the individual and combined effects of NaCl, KCl and NaSO on HN-AD bacteria Acinetobacter sp. TAC-1 were systematically investigated by batch experiments.

This process leads to the formation of high ammonia nitrogen, low carbon, and piggery biogas slurry, which usually results in poor denitrification effect, complicated process flow, and long startup period for the subsequent treatment process. In this study, a novel biological enhanced Biological Contact Oxidation (BCO) process using HN-AD bacteria as microbial inoculants, and PAN activated carbon fiber filler as biofilm carrier was proposed for the treatment of piggery biogas slurry.

Then the system started and the concentrations of bio-gas in various depths were continuously monitored, and it was found that the system ran continually and stably after 2-3 h when methane flux changed. After that, the relationship between regularity of methane oxidation and methane flux in landfill cover was analyzed.
