Two newly isolated aerobic denitrifying bacterial strains ( sp. GA and sp. GP) were co-cultured to investigate the synergy of carbon and nitrogen removal of different functional bacteria. The co-culture showed higher efficiency for removing total organic carbon (TOC) and total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) than strain GA or GP cultured separately. The inoculation ratio of 50 (strain GA/GP) was advantageous for the TOC and TDN removal efficiencies of the co-culture. The sequential co-culture tests showed that strain GP being inoculated after strain GA was inoculated for 36 h increased the TDN removal efficiency from 53.3% to 86.8%. This finding indicated that the activity of strain GA was important in the co-culture system, and the sequential co-culture could be advantageous to the synergistic effect of strains GA and GP. The co-culture of different functional bacteria can be an alternative method for improving the performance of aerobic denitrifying microorganisms for pollutant removal.

Iron-carbon (Fe-C) based biofilters have shown significant advantages in treating mariculture wastewater by facilitating the mixotrophic heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HNAD) process. However, the effects of Fe-C materials and varying carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratios on N removal and C reduction performance remain insufficiently explored. This study demonstrated that the Fe-C biofilter (R-Fe) achieved significantly higher NO-N removal efficiency (65.

Ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) discharge has caused eutrophication of water bodies and harm to humans and organisms. In this work, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), diatomite (DE), and FeO were used to prepare magnetic immobilized carriers by encapsulating microorganisms for the treatment of NH-N wastewater. The response surface methodology was used to explore the optimal ratio of the immobilized carriers.

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 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.
