Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial technology and relates to a strain of Klebsiella oxytoca (TY) and its applications. This strain has the function of simultaneous heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification and antibiotic removal, and can achieve efficient removal of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and antibiotics from wastewater containing amoxicillin by utilizing organic carbon sources and phosphates. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, the problem of wastewater containing large amounts of ammonia nitrogen and residual antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, being discharged into sewage treatment plants is becoming increasingly prominent. Improper treatment of such complex pollutants in sewage treatment plants can not only lead to eutrophication and ecotoxicity, but may also induce the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), posing a potential threat to public health and safety. Traditional biological nitrogen removal processes in sewage treatment plants typically rely on the synergistic effect of autotrophic nitrifying bacteria and heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria, requiring staged treatment through aerobic nitrification and anoxic denitrification. This presents technical bottlenecks such as complex process flows, easy accumulation of intermediate products (nitrate or nitrite nitrogen), carbon source competition, and poor microbial population stability. Furthermore, antibiotic pollutants have a significant inhibitory effect on microbial activity, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve nitrogen removal and antibiotic degradation in conventional biological treatment systems.
[0003] Currently, most treatments for antibiotic-containing wastewater employ a combination of physicochemical pretreatment (such as adsorption and oxidation) and biological processes. However, these methods suffer from high costs, large carbon emissions, and a tendency to generate secondary pollution. Although studies have shown that some heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) strains can simultaneously remove nitrogen and organic matter, their application is still limited by the fact that their nitrogen removal performance is easily affected by environmental conditions such as pH (neutral range) and temperature (25-35℃), and few HN-AD strains can simultaneously tolerate and degrade pollutants such as antibiotics, making them difficult to directly apply to scenarios involving antibiotic-containing wastewater.
[0004] Against this backdrop, developing multifunctional strains possessing efficient nitrogen removal, broad-spectrum environmental adaptability, and antibiotic degradation capabilities has become crucial for overcoming existing technological limitations. Coupled nitrogen removal and antibiotic degradation through microbial cometabolism can simplify processes and reduce operating costs in a single reactor, holding significant importance for antibiotic wastewater treatment and water remediation. However, there are currently few reports on HN-AD bacteria that simultaneously denitrify and degrade antibiotics, which limits their development and application. Therefore, discovering and isolating more novel functional HN-AD bacteria is essential for the innovation and development of simultaneous nitrogen removal and antibiotic degradation processes, expanding the application areas of HN-AD bacteria, and advancing our understanding of the roles of microorganisms in nature.
[0005] This invention screens, isolates, and purifies an HN-AD bacterium capable of simultaneously denitrifying and degrading antibiotics from sludge in wastewater treatment plants. Under heterotrophic and aerobic conditions, this strain can efficiently perform simultaneous denitrification and antibiotic degradation within a certain pH and temperature range, providing an innovative solution to this technological need. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a multi-substrate co-utilization antibiotic degradation-heterotrophic nitrifying aerobic denitrifying bacterium, identified and named Klebsiella oxytoca TY. This strain was isolated from sludge in a wastewater treatment plant and overcomes the shortcomings of existing microorganisms in terms of their narrow adaptability to pH, temperature, and antibiotics. It can achieve simultaneous denitrification and antibiotic degradation of wastewater in a single reactor, overcoming the technical bottlenecks of existing biological denitrification and antibiotic biodegradation, and has broad application prospects.
[0007] Compared to traditional biological denitrification-antibiotic degradation processes, the application described in this invention is characterized by the fact that the nitrification process of Klebsiella oxytoca TY is under heterotrophic conditions with no intermediate product accumulation, the denitrification process is under aerobic conditions, and it can co-metabolize and degrade antibiotics with organic carbon sources. It does not require complex operating conditions, does not rely on the synergistic participation of different functional microorganisms, and does not have problems such as carbon source competition between microorganisms.

[0043] Optimization of optimal growth and denitrification / phosphorus removal conditions for Klebsiella oxytoca TY.
[0044] The bacterial strain preserved in glycerol at -20℃ (deposited on April 8, 2025, at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center, accession number CGMCC No. 33884) was inoculated into 100 mL of basal medium sterilized at 121℃ for 20 min and cultured in an air bath shaker at 30℃ and 120 rpm for 48 h to allow the cells to grow to the logarithmic phase. The bacterial suspension was then harvested for inoculation (the same applies below). 5 g / L sodium citrate, 3.31 g / L sodium acetate, 3.5 g / L sodium succinate, 2.3 g / L sucrose, and 2.4 g / L glucose were added as carbon sources to five Erlenmeyer flasks containing 100 mL of basal medium, respectively. Then, 10 mL of bacterial suspension (OD) was inoculated into each flask. 600The sample was incubated in a 30℃, 120rpm air bath shaker (with a concentration of 0.1%), and OD was directly measured at 0h and 24h. 600 The values were determined, and the COD and NH4+ of the supernatant were measured after centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 10 min. + -N,PO4 3- The concentration of -P. Results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, when the carbon source is sodium citrate, the strain exhibits the highest growth and removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphate. Therefore, the optimal carbon source condition for the growth of this bacterium is sodium citrate.
[0045] Similarly, with sodium citrate as the optimal carbon source, ammonium sulfate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrite, glutamic acid, and L-alanine (total nitrogen content 80 mg / L) were added to five Erlenmeyer flasks containing 100 mL of basal medium as nitrogen sources. The inoculation, culture, and sample testing conditions were the same as above. The results are shown in Figure 2. The strain's removal capacity for both inorganic and organic nitrogen was above 75%, demonstrating good degradation ability for multiple nitrogen sources. The strain exhibited the highest total nitrogen removal capacity when ammonia nitrogen was used as the nitrogen source; therefore, ammonia nitrogen is the optimal nitrogen source for the growth of this bacterium.
[0046] Similarly, under the conditions that the optimal carbon source is sodium citrate and the optimal nitrogen source is ammonia nitrogen, the C / N ratio (mass ratio, the same below) in the basal culture medium was adjusted to 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40, respectively, with the inoculation, culture, and testing conditions remaining the same. The results are as follows... Figure 3 As shown, when the C / N ratio is between 25 and 40, the removal rates of COD and ammonia nitrogen by the strain remain above 75%. When the C / N ratio is 35, the removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphate by the strain are the highest. Therefore, the optimal C / N ratio for the growth of this bacterium is 35.
[0047] Similarly, under the conditions of optimal carbon source (sodium citrate), optimal nitrogen source (ammonia nitrogen), and C / N = 35, the initial ammonia nitrogen concentration of the basal culture medium was adjusted to 40 mg / L, 80 mg / L, 100 mg / L, 140 mg / L, and 180 mg / L, with the inoculation, culture, and testing conditions remaining the same. The results are as follows... Figure 4 As shown, the strain achieved the highest removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphate when the initial ammonia nitrogen concentration was 80 mg / L. Therefore, the optimal initial ammonia nitrogen concentration for the growth of this bacterium is 80 mg / L.
[0048] Similarly, under the conditions of optimal carbon source (sodium citrate), optimal nitrogen source (ammonia nitrogen), C / N = 35, and initial ammonia nitrogen concentration of 80 mg / L, the P / N of the basal medium was adjusted to 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.7, and 1, with the inoculation, culture, and testing conditions remaining the same. The results are as follows. Figure 5 As shown, the strain achieved the highest removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphate when P / N = 0.1, therefore the optimal P / N for the growth of this bacterium is 0.1.
[0049] Similarly, under the conditions of optimal carbon source (sodium citrate), optimal nitrogen source (ammonia nitrogen), C / N = 35, initial ammonia nitrogen concentration (80 mg / L), and P / N = 0.1, the pH of the basal medium was adjusted to 3.5, 5.5, 7.5, 9.5, and 11.5, and the inoculation, culture, and testing conditions were the same as above. The results are as follows. Figure 6 As shown, the OD of the strain was [data missing] when pH = 5.5-7.5. 600 All values were above 1.00, and the strain achieved the highest removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphate at pH 7.5. Therefore, the optimal pH for the growth of this bacterium is 7.5.
[0050] Similarly, under the conditions of optimal carbon source (sodium citrate), optimal nitrogen source (ammonia nitrogen), C / N = 35, initial ammonia nitrogen concentration (80 mg / L), P / N = 0.1, and pH = 7.5, the temperatures were adjusted to 20℃, 25℃, 30℃, 37℃, and 44℃, and the inoculation, cultivation, and testing conditions were the same as above. The results are as follows... Figure 7 As shown, when the temperature is 20-37℃, the removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphate of the strain are all above 75%, while the removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphate are highest when the temperature is 30℃. Therefore, the optimal temperature for the growth of this bacterium is 30℃.
[0051] In summary, the optimal culture conditions are: carbon source = sodium citrate, nitrogen source = ammonia nitrogen, C / N ratio (mass ratio, the same below) = 20-40, P / N ratio (mass ratio, the same below) = 0.1, initial ammonia nitrogen concentration = 80 mg / L, pH = 5.5-9.5, and temperature = 20-37℃. The optimal conditions for the growth and nitrogen and phosphorus removal of Klebsiella oxytoca TY are: carbon source = sodium citrate, C / N = 35, initial ammonia nitrogen concentration = 80 mg / L, P / N = 0.1, pH = 7.5, and temperature = 30℃.

Figure 16 As shown, the degradation products have low toxicity and can exist stably in the environment.
