Abstract

Abstract: In order to improve the system for biological nitrogen oxidizing process in sewage and wastewater, a bacterium having high abilities to oxidize of nitrogen was isolated from wastewater and polluted soils. The strain was identified to Bacillus sp. CH-N, based on the physiological and biochemical properties. Characteristics and oxidizing ability of both ammonia and nitrite were examined for the strain, Bacillus sp. CH-N. The strain showed the oxidizing rate about 80% to 90% on the sewage and wastewater after 48 h culture. The nitrogen oxidizing rate was increased in proportion to the initial concentration of glucose. The microorganism, Bacillus sp. CH-N cell immobilized on ceramic carrier were evaluated for the oxidation of ammonia in culture media.

본 연구는 폐수 중의 질소 제거를 위한 생물학적 처리용 미생물 개발을 위한 목적으로 질소의 산화 능력이 뛰어난 균주를 분리하였다. 분리된 세균 중에서 질소 산화능과 생육 속도가 뛰어난 CH-N 균주를 선별하였으며, 생리, 생화학적 특성 조사에 의해 Bacillus sp로 추정되어 Bacillus sp. CH-N이라 명명하였다. 분리 균주는 0.5% glucose가 포함된 초기 pH가 7,0인 암모니아 및 아질산성 질소 함유 배지에서 30시간 배양 후 각각 85%와 90%의 암모니아성과 아질산성 질소의 감소율을 나타내었다. 폐수 및 생활하수에 분리 균주를 이용한 결과, 수질 속의 암모니아성 질소가 단시간에 크게 감소시키는 효과를 확인하였다. 균주를 고정시킨 담체의 질소산화 효과를 시험하고자 Bacillus sp. CH-N을 고정시킨 세라믹 담체를 이용한 결과, 배양 2일 후에는 암모니아성 질소가 전부 제거되었다.
