Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of bioengineering and environmental engineering technology, and relates to a salt-tolerant heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification strain, while also providing the denitrification efficiency of this strain. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development, industrial sectors such as petrochemicals, coal chemicals, fertilizers, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and dyes generate extremely difficult-to-treat high-salinity wastewater with a salinity of 10%-25%. Furthermore, coastal cities often use seawater for production and daily life, leading to a significant increase in the discharge of high-salinity wastewater. This wastewater is not only rich in highly difficult-to-degrade organic matter, but also has a high nitrogen content. If it enters the ecological environment, it will cause eutrophication in lakes and rivers, stressing and toxicizing aquatic organisms, and ultimately harming human health. Therefore, strengthening nitrogen treatment of high-salinity wastewater is urgently needed.

[0003] Currently, biological methods are the most economical and efficient wastewater treatment method, being green and without secondary hazards. However, high salinity inhibits the biochemical reaction process of microorganisms, significantly reducing wastewater treatment efficiency. To date, most heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying microorganisms have been found unable to stably perform nitrogen removal functions when salinity exceeds 2%. Under high salinity conditions, microbial growth is inhibited to varying degrees, and denitrification efficiency drops sharply. Therefore, screening for heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying strains capable of efficient biological denitrification in high-salt environments has significant application value for denitrification treatment of high-salt nitrogen-containing water bodies. Furthermore, while there are reports on the salt-tolerant heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrification capabilities of *Haloxylon* spp., no studies have yet investigated their application in this area. Halomonas elongata Research on the function of heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying bacteria.
