A Gram-negative bacterium, strain 3CB-1, isolated from a 3-chlorobenzoate enrichment culture inoculated with a sediment sample is capable of degrading various aromatic compounds and halogenated derivatives with nitrate as electron acceptor. Compounds capable of serving as carbon and energy sources include 3-chlorobenzoate, 3-bromobenzoate, 2-fluorobenzoate, 4-fluorobenzoate, benzoate, 3-hydroxybenzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, 3-aminobenzoate, protocatechuate, m-cresol and p-cresol. Oxygen, nitrate and nitrite were used as electron acceptors for growth. Cells are Gram-negative short rods with peritrichous flagellation. The predominant fatty acids are cis-9-hexadecenoic acid (16:1 omega 7c), hexadecanoic acid (16:0), octadecanoic acid (18:0), octadecenoic acid (18:1), 3-hydroxydecanoic acid (10:0 3OH) and dodecanoic acid (12:0). The sequence of the 16S rRNA gene, as well as the fatty acid composition, indicate that the strain is a member of the genus Thauera in the beta-subclass of the Proteobacteria and very close to Thauera aromatica. DNA-DNA hybridization and nutrient screening indicate that strain 3CB-1 is a genomovar of Thauera aromatica with the proposed name Thauera aromatica genomovar chlorobenzoica.

Simultaneous partial nitrification, anammox, and denitrification (SNAD) process offers a promising method for the effective removal of carbon and nitrogen from wastewater. However, ensuring stability is a challenge. This study investigated operational parameters such as hydraulic retention time (HRT) and biomass retention to stabilize SNAD operation, transitioning from synthetic to anaerobically pre-treated municipal wastewater (APMW) in an upflow hybrid biofilm-granular reactor (UHR).

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a commonly used endocrine-disrupting chemical found in high levels in wastewater worldwide. Aerobic denitrification is a promising alternative to conventional nitrogen removal processes. However, the effects of BPA on this novel nitrogen removal process have rarely been reported.

The hydrogen-based partial denitrification coupled with anammox (H-PDA) biofilm system effectively achieves low-carbon and high-efficiency biological nitrogen removal. However, the effects and biological interaction mechanism of H flux with the H-PDA system have not yet been understood. This study assessed the effects of H flux on interactions among anammox bacteria (AnAOB), denitrifying bacteria (DB), and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) coexisting in a H-PDA system.

The denitrifying bacterium Thauera sp. MZ1T, a common member of microbial communities in wastewater treatment facilities, can produce different compounds from a range of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) sources under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In these different conditions, Thauera modifies its metabolism to produce different compounds that influence the microbial community.

Understanding the performance and microbial succession in nitrogen removal using fermentation liquid as carbon source can provide a practical basis for treating low C/N ratio wastewater. In this study, three typical fermentation liquids of food waste (FW) enriched with lactic acid (LA), propionic acid (PA), and butyric acid (BA) were added to high ammonia and high salt (HAHS) wastewater treatment process. Results showed that effluent TN decreased from 50 mg/L to around 15 mg/L with the influent concentration around 1000 mg/L after adding fermentation liquid enriched with LA and PA.
