Abstract:[Objective]This study aimed to screen high-performance ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) resistant to a high concentration of ammonia-nitrogen and low C/N ratio,for the development of novel AOB agents.[Methods]Multipoint sampling,compulsory domestication,gradient dilution of domestication liquid were conducted to screen AOB with efficient and stable ammonia-nitrogen removing ability,and effects of different factors on its ammoxidation ability including C/N ratio,shaking speed and ammonia-nitrogen concentration were studied. Dominant strains were screened and identified by morphological observation,physiological and biochemical properties test and 16S rRNA sequence analysis.[Results]Three efficient AOB were obtained,among them a micro-flora named JQ8 showed the highest activity. The ammonia-nitrogen removal rate reached 95.07% in a simulated wastewater with 17.86 mmol/L of initial ammonia-nitrogen at C/N 4 treated by JQ8 for 6 days. Moreover,its ammonia nitrogen removal rate kept above 95% and net nitrogen removing rate nearly 80% in the solution with a C/N ratio above 4 and an NH +4 -N concentration below 28. 57 mmol/L.The circuit board industry wastewater was treated using the laboratory-simulated aerobic active sludge disposal system.The removal rate of NH +4 -N and total nitrogen reached 87.8% and 67. 6% respectively after 7 days’treatment using JQ8.Defluvibacter sp. ,Paracoccus sp. and Aquamicrobium sp. were identified as the dominant strains after the composition analysis of JQ8.[Conclusion]An ammonia oxidizing bacteria consortium JQ8 screened from the landfill leachate showed a strong ammonium-nitrogen removal and endurance ability under low C /N ratio and high ammonia-nitrogen concentration,thus is probably applicable to intensify the ammonia-nitrogen removal treatment of industrial wastewater with sewage disposal system.
