    Abstract:
    The effect of dissolved oxygen (DO) on heterotrophic denitrification using poly(butylene succinate) as the carbon source and biofilm carrier was evaluated in a lab-scale experiment. Aerated, low-oxygen, and anoxic treatment groups were set up, which had average DO concentrations of 5.2±1.0, 1.4±1.2, and 0.5±0.3 mg L(-1), respectively. The NO3(-)-N and total nitrogen (TN) removal rates in the aerated group (37.44±0.24 and 36.24±0.48 g m(-3) d(-1), respectively) were higher than those in the other two groups. There was no significant difference between the low-oxygen and anoxic groups for the NO3(-)-N or TN removal rate. Accumulation of NO2(-)-N reached 5.0 mg L(-1) in the aerated group; no nitrite accumulation was found in the other two treatment groups. Bacterial communities of the low-oxygen and anoxic groups showed high similarity and were significantly different from those of the aerated group.
