Effect of pH and nitrite concentration on nitrite oxidation rate

The effect of pH and nitrite concentration on the activity of the nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) in an activated sludge reactor has been determined by means of laboratory batch experiments based on respirometric techniques. The bacterial activity was measured at different pH and at different total nitrite concentrations (TNO?). The experimental results showed that the nitrite oxidation rate (NOR) depends on the TNO? concentration independently of the free nitrous acid (FNA) concentration, so FNA cannot be considered as the real substrate for NOB. NOB were strongly affected by low pH values (no activity was detected at pH 6.5) but no inhibition was observed at high pH values (activity was nearly the same for the pH range 7.5-9.95). A kinetic expression for nitrite oxidation process including switch functions to model the effect of TNO? concentration and pH inhibition is proposed. Substrate half saturation constant and pH inhibition constants have been obtained.     

泉州西湖沉积物中硝化细菌的分布及其作用

比较研究泉州西湖沉积物中氨氧化细菌(AOB)和亚硝酸盐氧化细菌(NOB)的分布及氨氧化潜力和亚硝酸盐(NO2?)氧化潜力。结果表明: 西湖沉积物中存在高浓度的有机质(OM)、总氮(TN)和氨氮。AOB生物量为1.1×106?6.4×106 个/g干土, 显著高于NOB生物量4.2×105?7.4×105 个/g 干土(配对t-检验, P<0.05)。对于NOB, 硝化杆菌属(Nitrobacter)和硝化螺菌属(Nitrospira)同时存在于西湖沉积物中, 以Nitrobacter为优势种群。AOB和NOB生物量的差异一定程度上导致西湖沉积物中氨氧化潜力显著高于NO2?氧化潜力(配对t-检验, P<0.05), NO2?氧化过程成为硝化作用的限制步骤。另外, 西湖沉积物中存在的较高浓度氨氮, 一方面促进了AOB的生长和活性, 导致较高速率的氨氧化过程, 另一方面却对亚硝酸盐氧化过程产生选择性抑制, 这也是导致NO2?氧化潜力较低的主要原因之一。     

Effective and robust partial nitrification to nitrite by real-time aeration duration control in an SBR treating domestic wastewater

Achieving sustainable partial nitrification to nitrite has been proven difficult in treating low strength nitrogenous wastewater. Real-time aeration duration control was used to achieve efficient partial nitrification to nitrite in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) to treat low strength domestic wastewater. Above 90% nitrite accumulation ratio was maintained for long-term operation at normal condition, or even lower water temperature in winter. Partial nitrification established by controlling aeration duration showed good performance and robustness even though encountering long-term extended aeration and starvation period. Process control enhanced the successful accumulation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and washout of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB). Scanning electron microscope observations indicated that the microbial morphology showed a shift towards small rod-shaped clusters. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results demonstrated AOB were the dominant nitrifying bacteria, up to 8.3 ± 1.1% of the total bacteria; on the contrary, the density of NOB decreased to be negligible after 135 days operation since adopting process control.

Nitrite Removal Performance and Community Structure of Nitrite-Oxidizing and Heterotrophic Bacteria Suffered with Organic Matter

Altlhough ammonia oxidation and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) have been extensively studied, nitrite oxidation and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) are still not well understood. In this article, the effect of organic matter on NOB and heterotrophic bacteria was investigated with functional performance analysis and bacterial community shift analysis. The results showed that at low concentrations of initial sodium acetate [initial sodium acetate (ISA) = 0.5 or 1 g/L], the nitrite removal rate was higher than that obtained under autotrophic conditions and the bacteria had a single growth phase, whereas at high ISA concentrations (5 or 10 g/L), continuous aerobic nitrification and denitrification occurred in addition to higher nitrite removal rates, and the bacteria had double growth phases. The community structure of total bacteria strikingly varied with the different concentrations of ISA; the dominant populations shifted from autotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria (NOB, and some strains of Bacteroidetes, Alphaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and green nonsulfur bacteria) to heterotrophic and denitrifying bacteria (strains of Gammaproteobacteria, especially Pseudomonas stutzeri and P. nitroreducens). The reasons that nitrite removal rate increased with supplement of organic matters were discussed.     

Development and application of a PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis tool to study the diversity of Nitrobacter-like nxrA sequences in soil

A new PCR-denaturing gel gradient electrophoresis (DGGE) tool based on the functional gene nxrA encoding the catalytic subunit of the nitrite oxidoreductase in nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) has been developed. The first aim was to determine if the primers could target representatives of NOB genera: Nitrococcus and Nitrospira. The primers successfully amplified nxrA gene sequences from Nitrococcus mobilis, but not from Nitrospira marina. The second aim was to develop a PCR-DGGE tool to characterize NOB community structure on the basis of Nitrobacter-like partial nrxA gene sequences (Nb-nxrA). We tested (1) the ability of this tool to discriminate between Nitrobacter strains, and (2) its ability to reveal changes in the community structure of NOB harbouring Nb-nrxA sequences induced by light grazing or intensive grazing in grassland soils. The DGGE profiles clearly differed between the four Nitrobacter strains tested. Differences in the structure of NOB community were revealed between grazing regimes. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences corresponding to different DGGE bands showed that Nb-nxrA sequences did not group in management-specific clusters. Most of the nxrA sequences obtained from soils differed from nxrA sequences of NOB strains. Along with existing tools for characterizing the community structure of nitrifiers, this new approach is a significant step forward to performing comprehensive studies on nitrification.     

Unravelling the reasons for disproportion in the ratio of AOB and NOB in aerobic granular sludge

In this study, we analysed the nitrifying microbial community (ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB)) within three different aerobic granular sludge treatment systems as well as within one flocculent sludge system. Granular samples were taken from one pilot plant run on municipal wastewater as well as from two lab-scale reactors. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) showed that Nitrobacter was the dominant NOB in acetate-fed aerobic granules. In the conventional system, both Nitrospira and Nitrobacter were present in similar amounts. Remarkably, the NOB/AOB ratio in aerobic granular sludge was elevated but not in the conventional treatment plant suggesting that the growth of Nitrobacter within aerobic granular sludge, in particular, was partly uncoupled from the lithotrophic nitrite supply from AOB. This was supported by activity measurements which showed an approximately threefold higher nitrite oxidizing capacity than ammonium oxidizing capacity. Based on these findings, two hypotheses were considered: either Nitrobacter grew mixotrophically by acetate-dependent dissimilatory nitrate reduction (ping-pong effect) or a nitrite oxidation/nitrate reduction loop (nitrite loop) occurred in which denitrifiers reduced nitrate to nitrite supplying additional nitrite for the NOB apart from the AOB.     

Distinctive microbial ecology and biokinetics of autotrophic ammonia and nitrite oxidation in a partial nitrification bioreactor

Biological nitrogen removal (BNR) based on partial nitrification and denitrification via nitrite is a cost-effective alternate to conventional nitrification and denitrification (via nitrate). The goal of this study was to investigate the microbial ecology, biokinetics, and stability of partial nitrification. Stable long-term partial nitrification resulting in 82.1 +/- 17.2% ammonia oxidation, primarily to nitrite (77.3 +/- 19.5% of the ammonia oxidized) was achieved in a lab-scale bioreactor by operation at a pH, dissolved oxygen and solids retention time of 7.5 +/- 0.1, 1.54 +/- 0.87 mg O(2)/L, and 3.0 days, respectively. Bioreactor ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) populations were most closely related to Nitrosomonas europaea and Nitrobacter spp., respectively. The AOB population fraction varied in the range 61 +/- 45% and was much higher than the NOB fraction, 0.71 +/- 1.1%. Using direct measures of bacterial concentrations in conjunction with independent activity measures and mass balances, the maximum specific growth rate (micro(max)), specific decay (b) and observed biomass yield coefficients (Y(obs)) for AOB were 1.08 +/- 1.03 day(-1), 0.32 +/- 0.34 day(-1), and 0.15 +/- 0.06 mg biomass COD/mg N oxidized, respectively. Corresponding micro(max), b, and Y(obs) values for NOB were 2.6 +/- 2.05 day(-1), 1.7 +/- 1.9 day(-1), and 0.04 +/- 0.02 mg biomass COD/mg N oxidized, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that the highly selective partial nitrification operating conditions enriched for a narrow diversity of rapidly growing AOB and NOB populations unlike conventional BNR reactors, which host a broader diversity of nitrifying bacteria. Further, direct measures of microbial abundance enabled not only elucidation of mixed community microbial ecology but also estimation of key engineering parameters describing bioreactor systems supporting these communities.     

Partial nitrification to nitrite using low dissolved oxygen concentration as the main selection factor

Partial nitrification to nitrite (nitritation) can be achieved in a continuous process without sludge retention by wash out of nitrite oxidising bacteria (NOB) while retaining ammonia oxidising bacteria (AOB), at elevated temperatures (the SHARON process) and, as demonstrated in this paper, also at low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. Enriched AOB was attained at a low DO concentration (0.4 mg l⁻¹) and a dilution rate of 0.42 day⁻¹ in a continuous process. A higher oxygen affinity of AOB compared to NOB seemed critical to achieving this. This was verified by determining the oxygen half saturation constant, K _o, with similar oxygen mass transfer resistances for enriched AOB and NOB as 0.033 ± 0.003 mg l⁻¹ and 0.43 ± 0.08 mg l⁻¹, respectively. However, the extent of nitritation attained was found to be highly sensitive to process upsets.     

Effect of temperature and free ammonia on nitrification and nitrite accumulation in landfill leachate and analysis of its nitrifying bacterial community by FISH

The cause of seasonal failure of a nitrifying municipal landfill leachate treatment plant utilizing a fixed biofilm was investigated by wastewater analyses and batch respirometric tests at every treatment stage. Nitrification of the leachate treatment plant was severely affected by the seasonal temperature variation. High free ammonia (NH3-N) inhibited not only nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) but also ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB). In addition, high pH also increased free ammonia concentration to inhibit nitrifying activity especially when the NH4-N level was high. The effects of temperature and free ammonia of landfill leachate on nitrification and nitrite accumulation were investigated with a semi-pilot scale biofilm airlift reactor. Nitrification rate of landfill leachate increased with temperature when free ammonia in the reactor was below the inhibition level for nitrifiers. Leachate was completely nitrified up to a load of 1.5 kg NH4-N m(-3)d(-1) at 28 degrees C. The activity of NOB was inhibited by NH3-N resulting in accumulation of nitrite. NOB activity decreased more than 50% at 0.7 mg NH3-N L(-1). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was carried out to analyze the population of AOB and NOB in the nitrite accumulating nitrifying biofilm. NOB were located close to AOB by forming small clusters. A significant fraction of AOB identified by probe Nso1225 specifically also hybridized with the Nitrosomonas specific probe Nsm156. The main NOB were Nitrobacter and Nitrospira which were present in almost equal amounts in the biofilm as identified by simultaneous hybridization with Nitrobacter specific probe Nit3 and Nitrospira specific probe Ntspa662.
