Effectively controlling the active nitrogen discharged from industrial sewage and domestic pollution into the environment is an important means to control nitrogen pollution. The active nitrogen in water mainly exists in four different forms: ammonia nitrogen (NH4 + -N), nitrate nitrogen (NO3 - -N), nitrite nitrogen (NO2 - -N), and organic nitrogen. Although various microorganisms have been developed to reduce the nitrogen content in sewage and make the sewage meet the discharge standards. However, continuously developing new microbial strain resources and improving the nitrogen removal efficiency are important topics in the biological denitrification of sewage.

[0036] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1 Isolation and identification of strain YB082 500 mL of activated sludge for denitrification treatment of nitrogen-containing wastewater from the laboratory (Biological Engineering Discipline Laboratory of China Three Gorges University) was added to 3.5 L of enrichment medium (the formula of the enrichment medium is: 1.2 g of NH4Cl, 1.5 g of NaNO2, 0.5 g of NaHCO3, 0.5 g of KHCO3, 0.2 g of MgSO4·7H2O, 0.136 g of CaCl2·2H2O, 0.027 g of KH2PO4, 1 mL of trace element 1, 1.25 mL of trace element 2, 1 L of tap water. Trace element 1: 1.25 g of EDTA, 1.25 g of FeSO4, 250 mL of distilled water. Trace element 2: 1.25 g of EDTA, 0.1075 g of ZnSO4·7H2O, 0.06 g of CoCl2·6H2O, 0.2475 g of MnCl2·4H2O, 0.0625 g of CuSO4·5H2O, 0.055 g of NaMoO4·2H2O, 0.0475 g of NiCl2·6H2O, 0.0035 g of H3BO3, 250 mL of distilled water.). All of the above substances were placed in a 5 L CSTR for enrichment culture. The temperature was set at 28 °C, the rotation speed was set at 50 rpm, and the pH was maintained between 7.0 and 8.0 for enrichment culture. The hydraulic retention time was 8 days.

[0038] The enriched microbial flora was separated and purified using a separation medium (composition: 0.5 g of NaNO2; 3.0 g of C4H4Na2O4; 3.0 g of MgSO4·7H2O; 4.8 g of K2HPO4; 2.0 g of NaCl; 0.05 g of MnSO4·4H2O; 0.05 g of FeSO4; 20 g of agar; 1 L of distilled water) to obtain YB082.

[0039] The morphological results of the obtained strain YB082 are shown in Figure 1 . The pure culture colonies of this strain were yellowish-white, round in shape, with irregular edges and sunken surfaces.

[0040] The morphology of strain YB0082 was observed using a scanning electron microscope, and the results are as Figure 2 shown. The strain was rod-shaped, with uniform thickness and a length of about 1.5 µm.

[0041] After strain YB082 was cultured in LB liquid, the bacterial cells were collected. DNA was extracted using a bacterial DNA extraction kit. The 16S rRNA gene of the ribosome was amplified by PCR using primers 27F: 5′-AGAGTTTGATCMTGGCTCAG-3′ and 1492R: 5′-TACGGYTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3′. The amplified product was sequenced and analyzed by Shanghai Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd. The sequence information of the obtained strain is shown as SEQ ID NO:1.

[0042] The sequencing results were aligned with the 16S rRNA gene sequences existing in the NCBI database to obtain related strains, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed ( Figure 3 ). The results showed that the similarity rate of the 16S rDNA sequence of this strain with the Alcaligenes defragrans 16S rDNA sequence in the database was 99.86%. This strain was identified as Alcaligenes defragrans .

[0043] Example 2 The abilities of YB082 to remove ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen YB082 was respectively cultured in DM medium with ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen contents of 423 mg / L, 153 mg / L, and 526 mg / L to investigate the ability of the strain to remove different forms of nitrogen. The results are shown in Figure 4 . Under aerobic conditions, the ammonia nitrogen removal rate was 36.9% ( Figure 4 A), and the nitrite nitrogen removal rate was 99.6% ( Figure 4 C). Under anaerobic conditions, the nitrate nitrogen removal rate was 97.1% ( Figure 4 B). It can be seen that YB082 can tolerate high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and can effectively remove ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen in water.

[0044] Example 3 The deamination ability of YB082 under different oxygen conditions YB082 was cultured in DM culture medium, using ammonium chloride, potassium nitrate, and sodium nitrite as nitrogen sources respectively. It was cultured under aerobic (biological shaker at 200 rpm / min) and anaerobic (the culture medium was replaced with gas to anaerobic in an anaerobic glove box and then placed in an anaerobic culture tank for sealed culture) conditions respectively. The abilities of YB082 to remove ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen were investigated.

[0045] The growth situation of the strain is shown in Figure 5 . Under aerobic conditions, in DM culture medium, YB082 could grow using ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen as nitrogen sources respectively. After 120 h, the biomass (OD600) was 7.3 times ( Figure 5 A), 1.9 times ( Figure 5 B), and 2.7 times ( Figure 5 C) of that at the initial stage of culture respectively. It can be seen that when ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen are used as nitrogen sources in DM culture medium, YB082 has better growth activity, grows rapidly, accumulates a large amount of biomass, and ammonia nitrogen is the most suitable nitrogen source.

[0046] Under anaerobic conditions, in DM culture medium, YB082 uses ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen as nitrogen sources respectively. Only the biomass cultured with nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen increased, with the growth rates being 1.4 times ( Figure 5 E) and 1.3 times ( Figure 5 F) of that at the initial culture. The growth rate is relatively small. The biomass of ammonia nitrogen decreased instead of increasing, being 0.9 times ( Figure 5 D) of that at the initial culture.

[0047] The nitrogen removal ability of strain YB082 is shown in Figure 6 . Under aerobic conditions, in DM culture medium, when the initial concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen are 446 mg / L, 154 mg / L, and 720 mg / L respectively, after 120 hours, the removal rates of ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen are 22.3% ( Figure 6 A), 89.4% ( Figure 6 B), and 100% ( Figure 6 C) respectively. Under anaerobic conditions, in DM culture medium, when the initial concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen in the culture medium are 445 mg / L, 153 mg / L, and 719 mg / L, after YB082 is cultured for 120 hours, the removal rates of nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen are 88.2% ( Figure 6 E) and 100% ( Figure 6 F) respectively. However, ammonia nitrogen cannot be removed ( Figure 6 D).

[0048] In summary, YB082 can tolerate high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and can remove 22.3% of 446 mg / L of ammonia nitrogen under aerobic conditions. It can remove nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen in water under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The removal rates of nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen reach 89% and 100% respectively. It can complete denitrification and nitrogen removal under aerobic and anaerobic conditions and has high ammonia nitrogen tolerance and ammonia nitrogen removal ability, indicating that this strain has good application prospects in sewage nitrogen removal.

[0049] Example 4 Growth characteristics of the strain under different oxygen conditions YB082 was cultured in LB culture medium and placed under aerobic (cultured on a shaker at 200 rpm), anaerobic (the culture medium was replaced with gas to anoxic in an anaerobic glove box and then placed in an anaerobic culture tank for sealed culture), and anoxic (static culture in air) conditions respectively. The biomass of the strain is shown in Figure 7 .

[0050] The results show that in LB culture medium, with an initial cell concentration (OD600) of 0.4 for YB082, after 67 hours of culture, under anaerobic, aerobic, and anoxic conditions, the cell concentrations reached 0.76, 2.18, and 1.64 respectively, increasing by 1.9 times ( Figure 7 A), 5.5 times (Figure 7 B) and 4.3 times ( Figure 7 C). It can be seen that this strain can grow under anaerobic, aerobic and anoxic conditions when the nutritional conditions are sufficient. The growth is best under aerobic conditions and second best under anoxic conditions.

[0051] Example 5 Growth characteristics of the strain under different initial pH conditions The YB082 strain was cultured in LB medium with different pH values set to investigate the growth characteristics of the strain under different initial culture pH conditions. The results are shown in Figure 8 .

[0052] YB082 can grow in a relatively wide pH range. Good biomass of the strain can be obtained when the initial pH of the culture is in the range of 5 - 9. When cultured for 148 hours, the cell concentration (OD600) accumulates between 3.4 - 4.2. The biomass of the strain is the highest when the initial pH is 8 and 9, and the cell concentrations (OD600) are 4.0 and 4.2 respectively.

[0053] Example 6 Growth characteristics of the strain under different salt concentration conditions The YB082 strain was cultured in LB medium containing different sodium chloride concentrations to investigate the growth characteristics of the strain under different salt concentration stresses. The results are shown in Figure 9 .

[0054] YB082 can tolerate a NaCl concentration of 7% and shows a trend of increasing biomass. As the NaCl concentration increases, the growth of the strain slows down and the accumulation of strain biomass becomes slower. Compared with the initial strain concentration, the biomass of the strain treated with 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7% NaCl is 10.2 times, 4.4 times, 2.9 times, and 1.9 times that of the initial culture biomass respectively. The biomass of the strain treated with 9% NaCl decreases, only being 0.9 times that of the initial strain concentration.
