X Abstract

Effect of high salt concentration on the anammox treatment was investigated to establish an acclimation strategy under high salt concentration conditions. An anammox fixed-bed reactor with non-woven biomass carrier was used and the salt concentration was gradually increased from 2.5 g L(-1) to 33 g L(-1). The anammox reactor demonstrated stable nitrogen removal rate (NRR) of 1.7 kg-N m(-3) d(-1) for 65 days under a salt concentration of 30 g L(-1). However, the NRR sharply declined at a salt concentration of greater than 30 g L(-1). The bacterial community was examined by 16S rRNA gene analysis and DGGE after the acclimation of the anammox sludge to high salt conditions. Although the salt concentration was almost sea level, the freshwater anammox bacteria, KU2, were detected. In addition, the unidentified bacteria which perhaps belong to candidate division OP10 and Lysobacter sp. were found to coexist with anammox bacteria at a salt concentration of 30 g L(-1).

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
