    Abstract:
    A marine aerobic denitrifying bacterium was isolated and identified as Pseudomonas stutzeri BBW831 from the seabed silt of Beibu Gulf in China. According to the genome analysis, P. stutzeri BBW831 possessed a total of 14 genes (narG, narH, narI, narJ, napA, napB, nirB, nirD, nirS, norB, norC, norD, norQ, and nosZ) responsible for fully functional enzymes (nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, nitric oxide reductase, and nitrous oxide reductase) involved in the complete aerobic denitrification pathway, suggesting that it had the potential for reducing nitrate to the final N2. Denitrification results showed that P. stutzeri BBW831 exhibited efficient nitrogen removal characteristics. Within 12 h, the NO3--N removal efficiency and rate reached 94.64% and 13.09 mg·L-1·h-1 under 166.10 ± 3.75 mg/L NO3--N as the sole nitrogen source, and removal efficiency of the mixed nitrogen (50.50 ± 0.55, 62.28 ± 0.74, and 64.26 ± 0.90 mg/L of initial NH4+-N, NO3--N, and NO2--N, respectively) was nearly 100%. Furthermore, a simplified strategy, by augmenting the inoculation biomass, was developed for promoting the nitrogen removal performance under high levels of NO2--N and salinity. As a result, the removal efficiency of the initial NO2--N up to approximately 130 mg/L reached 99.46% within 8 h, and the NO3--N removal efficiency achieved at 59.46% under the NaCl concentration even up to 50 g/L. The C/N ratio of 10 with organic acid salt such as trisodium citrate and sodium acetate as the carbon source was most conducive for cell growth and nitrogen removal by P. stutzeri BBW831, respectively. In conclusion, the marine P. stutzeri BBW831 contained the functional genes responsible for a complete aerobic denitrification pathway (NO3--N → NO2--N → NO → N2O → N2), and had great potential for the practical treatment of high-salinity nitrogenous mariculture wastewater.
