A novel integrated autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrification- denitrifying sulfide removal (IAHD-DSR) process was established in this study for biogas desulfurization to simultaneously remove nitrogen in wastewater. The study demonstrated that the system could utilize methane and sulfide as co-electron donors to replace organic carbon source in IAHD process. Three batch tests (B1, B2 and B3) were set up with IAHD sludge to explore how the novel process works. According to mass balance in B2, methane oxidation and sulfide oxidation contributed 18.75 % and 71.25 % to nitrate removal, respectively; however, the contribution of methane oxidation to total nitrogen (TN) removal reached 84.36 %. Sulfide was mainly responsible for the reduction of nitrate to nitrite, while the methane was for nitrite to nitrogen gas in the presence of insufficient sulfide as electron donors. The TN removal in B2 was almost the same as in normal IAHD-DSR process B3-C. The functional genes mcrA and pmoA responsible for methane oxidation were detected in all three batches, with the abundance of 2.23 ×10 copies/(g dry soil) for mcrA in B1 being the highest in three batches. The sulfide addition in B2 increased the abundance of gene pmoA, indicating the enhancement of nitrite reduction coupled with methane oxidation.
