Abstract: In order to improve the removal rate of nitrogen and phosphorus in artificial wetland systems and to enhance the knowledge of heterotrophic nitrifying aerobic denitrifying bacteria species and performance in artificial wetlands, a heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying strain KL1 was isolated from an artificial wetland culture tailwater treatment system to investigate its growth factors and its nitrogen and phosphorus removal performance. The results showed that the optimal growth conditions of strain KL1 were as follows: temperature 30-37 ℃, pH 5-7, carbon source with sodium succinate, C/N of(7∶1)-(7∶18), and C/N/P of(14∶2∶1)-(7∶1∶4). During the heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification process of KL1 strain, the removal rate of NH4-N was 92%, and the removal rate of TN was 81%. There was no accumulation of NO3-N, and the accumulation of NO2-N was 2%. In the denitrification process, the NO3-N and TN removal rates were up to 95% and 44%, and no accumulation of NH4-N was found. When NaNO2 was used as the only nitrogen source, the removal rates of NO2-N and TN were 56% and 41%, and no NO3-N accumulation was observed. When NH4Cl was used as the only nitrogen source, the phosphorus removal rate was up to 31%. It was found that strain KL1 had strong heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification ability and good denitrification and phosphorus removal effect.
