Abstract
Denitrifying phosphorus-accumulating organisms (DNPAO) are viewed as one of the most effective means to solve the removal contradiction of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater treatment. In this study, we isolated a DNPAO (C-17, accession number: KU745702) from activated sludge in a patented circular plug-flow reactor, physiologically to Pseudomonas sp. based on 16S rRNA sequence and phenotypic characteristics. The results of denitrifying phosphorus-accumulating experiment showed that Pseudomonas C-17 has high removal efficiencies for [Formula: see text] and NO3-N, 75% and 87%, respectively. The ratio of phosphorus release was 25.0 mg [Formula: see text] (with anabolism) and 26.8 mg [Formula: see text] (without anabolism), respectively. Our results indicated that Pseudomonas C-17 had strong capacity of phosphorus release, and its uptake is often imprecisely evaluated by ignoring the part of metabolic consumption. Pseudomonas C-17 is capable of utilizing oxygen, nitrate and nitrite as electron acceptors under experimental conditions.
