It was studied that during the startup of reactors the crucial bacteria coupling nitrogen removal from swine wastewater and hydrogen sulfide removal from biogas using bubbling absorption reactors without seeding sludge, with seeding anaerobic sludge and aerobic sludge, respectively. During the prophase of the experiment (before the 26th d), the removal rate of nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide were from 50% to 64% in reactors with seeding sludge, that in the reactor without seeding sludge was only 11%-14%. At the end of experiment (the 56th d after startup), the removal rates of nitrogen for three reactors were about 90%.
