By using PCR with nirS gene primers, three nirS-harboring denitrifying bacteria (strain N6, strain N23, and strain R13) were newly isolated from activated sludge of a weak municipal wastewater treatment plant. Small-subunit rRNA gene-based analysis indicated that strain N6, strain N23, and strain R13 were closely related to Arthrobacter sp., Staphylococcus sp., and Bacillus sp., respectively. In an attempt to identify their roles in biological nitrate and nitrite removal from sewage, we investigated their specific denitrification rates (SDNRs) for NO - 3 and NO - 2 in various cultures. All pure-cultures of each isolated nirS-harboring bacterial strain could remove NO - 3 and NO - 2 simultaneously in high efficiency, and the carbon requirements for NO - 3 removal of strain N6 and strain R13 were effectively low at 3.1 and 4.1 g COD/g NO 3 N, respectively. In the case of mix-cultures of the strains (N6+N23, N6+R13, N23+R13, and N6+N23+R13), their SDNRs for NO - 3 were also effective, and their carbon requirements for NO - 3 removal were also effective at 3.0- 3.8 g COD/g NO 3 N. However, all tested mix-cultures accumulated NO - 2 in their culture media. On the other hand, the continuous culture of activated sludge mixed with strain N6 showed no significant increase of NO - 3 removal in comparison with strain N6's pure culture. These results suggest that nitrate and nitrite removal in biological wastewater treatment might be dependent on complicated bacterial interactions, including several effective denitrifying bacteria isolated in this study, rather than the specific bacterial types present and the number of bacterial types in activated sludge.
