In order to assess the capacity of Aquabacterium parvum strain B6 for nitrate-dependent Fe(II) oxidation, batch cultivation was conducted, and its ability to oxidize Fe(II) coupled to nitrate reduction in the presence of diverse organic substrates was studied. Meanwhile, the nitrate removal rate of B6 with various impact factors was further optimized by the response surface methodology (RSM). The results show that strain B6 is capable of utilizing different organic compounds as substrates for nitrate reduction. Compared with yeast extract, B6 showed a greater potential of chemical oxygen demand (COD) degradation and cell proliferation with acetate and glucose medium, respectively, while citrate was not beneficial for this process due to its low consumption rate. RSM analysis demonstrated that the maximum nitrate reduction rate of 30.64% could be achieved with an initial pH of 7.4, incubation temperature of 25.0 °C, and carbon source concentration of 266.10 mg/L. |
