Studies toward biotreating hypersaline wastewater containing different salts and halotolerant mechanism of robust strains are important but still rare. Here an isolated bacterium Halomonas salifodinae can perform simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) at 15% salinity, showing high nitrogen removal efficiencies of over 98% via response surface methodology optimization. Besides NaCl, this robust strain had high resistance to other salts (KCl, NaSO, and KSO) and can efficiently remove nitrogen in saline wastewater containing heavy metals such as Fe(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Cr(VI), Ni(II), and Cu(II).

The data present the salt tolerance of strain Y5 at different salinities (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%). The effect of salinity on the morphology of bacteria was observed by scanning electron microscope.

Here Halomonas salifodinae, a simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) bacterium, was isolated by performing repeated-batch acclimation, showing efficient nitrogen removal at 0-15% salinity and low activity inhibition prominently superior to that of other strains such as Pseudomonas sp. and Acinetobacter sp.

However, owing to the need of organic carbon to support bacterial growth, nitrogen removal of actual industrial wastewater with low carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio remains a challenge. Here, Pseudomonas mendocina Y7 was identified and presented to effectively remove nitrogen of actual refinery wastewater with low C/N ratio.
