Abstract
Acinetobacter sp. SZ28 exhibited efficient autotrophic denitrification ability using Mn2+ as an electron donor. Sequence amplification identified the presence of the nirS gene. Meteorological chromatography analysis showed that N2 was produced as an end product. Response surface methodology experiments showed that the maximum removal of nitrate occurred under the following conditions: Mn2+ concentration of 143.56mg/L, C/N ratio of 6.82, initial pH of 5.17, and temperature of 34.26°C, where the initial Mn2+ concentration produced the largest effect. In the groundwater experiment, nitrate levels decreased from 1.63mg/L to 0mg/L. Three-dimensional fluorescence analysis showed a decrease in the peak intensity of the original humus. Humus and the small-molecule amino acid tryptophan were detected. These results demonstrated that strain SZ28 is a suitable candidate for the simultaneous removal of nitrogen and Mn2+ in groundwater treatment.
