Bicarbonate (HCO3) can be used as an inorganic carbon source for hydrogen-based denitrification (HD). Since HCO3 is considered to accelerate the NO2 reduction rate, this study is attempted to minimize the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of HD systems using varied amounts of HCO3: deficient, moderate, and abundant amounts. The results implied that a low NO2 amount was removed at unsuitably short HRTs, resulting in poor HD efficiency despite being supplemented with abundant HCO3 amounts. HCO3 assisted in rapidly acclimatizing the bacteria having nirS gene, causing higher NO2 reduction rate and aided in changing the bacterial communities. Thauera spp. were the most dominant bacteria in abundant HCO3 conditions, achieving high HD efficiency at 8 to 24 h HRT whereas satisfactory efficiency was achieved in the deficient and moderate HCO3 amountsystems through the collaboration of Rhodocyclaceae, Alcaligenaceae, and Xanthomonadaceae as predominant bacteria in the community. A strong correlation between the abundance of nirS gene and Thauera spp. was also found. The findings in this study revealed the importance of using HCO3 for the enrichment of H2-oxidizing denitrifiers containing nirS gene in order to reduce NO2 accumulation to enhance the HD efficiency.
