Low-dissolved-oxygen nitrifying systems exploit ammonia-oxidizing bacteria with unusually high yields.
In wastewater treatment plants, nitrifying systems are usually operated with elevated levels of aeration to avoid nitrification failures. This approach contributes significantly to operational costs and the carbon footprint of nitrifying wastewater treatment processes. In this study, we tested the effect of aeration rate on nitrification by correlating ammonia oxidation rates with the structure...
متن کاملCommunities of Ammonia-oxidizing Archaea and Bacteria in Enriched Nitrifying Activated Sludge
In this study, communities of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in nitrifying activated sludge (NAS) prepared by enriching sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant in three continuous-flow reactors receiving an inorganic medium containing different ammonium concentrations of 2, 10, and 30 mM NH4-N (NAS2, NAS10, and NAS30, respectively) were investiga...
متن کاملGrowth of Nitrosococcus-Related Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria Coincides with Extremely Low pH Values in Wastewater with High Ammonia Content
Ammonia oxidation decreases the pH in wastewaters where alkalinity is limited relative to total ammonia. The activity of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB), however, typically decreases with pH and often ceases completely in slightly acidic wastewaters. Nevertheless, nitrification at low pH has been reported in reactors treating human urine, but it has been unclear which organisms are involved. I...
متن کاملBiogeography of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria
Anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are able to oxidize ammonia and reduce nitrite to produce N2 gas. After being discovered in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), anammox bacteria were subsequently characterized in natural environments, including marine, estuary, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats. Although anammox bacteria play an important role in removing fixed N from both eng...
متن کاملAmmonia Oxidizing Bacteria in Industrial Waste Water
Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis is a influential and feasible device for sequence examination of the variety of complicted natural microbial populations. For PCR amplification of 16S rDNA products and specific primers were used and analyzed by denaturing gel electrophoresis in gradient. Probes specific for the cluster Genusand were designed to bind to sequences within the region amplifi...
