| Summary: | The rising urbanization and industrialization are increasing nitrogen pollution in water and wastewaters, calling for advanced remediation treatments. Traditional biological treatments are limited in area and efficiency. Therefore, heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) in a single reactor has drawn significant attention and has shown higher efficiency. Here we review HN-AD bacteria with focus on bacterial species, nitrogen metabolism, and factors influencing denitrification. Nitrogen metabolism pathway includes nitrate-nitrite reduction denitrification, hydroxylamine reduction and assimilatory denitrification. Factors influencing denitrification comprise carbon source, C/N, temperature, pH, DO and so on. Compared to published literature reviews on HN-AD, our manuscript comprehensively summary the latest research on its nitrogen remove mechanisms and related enzymes for the first time. |
