Anammox reactor seeded with sewage sludge from RBC reactor and anaerobic granule from full-scale UASB reactor treating distillery wastewater was operated. Mixed granule and suspended sludge in the ammonium oxidizing process were taken and analyzed to investigate microbial community structure by molecular methods such as gene cloning and phylogenetic tree analysis after 250 days of continuous cultivation. The average nitrogen removal rate showed $0.9kg\;N/m^3-day$ after 250 days of continuous operation, then the maximum nitrogen removal rate showd $1.9kg\;N/m^3-day$ when $2.1kg\;N/m^3-day$ of nitrogen loading rate was applied. As results of gene cloning and phylogenetic tree analysis, Three kinds of phylum were found to be Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria and Planctomycetes (anammox bacteria) in mixed granule. Five kinds of phylum were found to be Proteobacteria, Chlorobi, Planctomycetes, Nitrospirae and Verrucomicrobia in suspended sludge. We found planctomycete KSU-1 and putative new anammox bacteria in the reactor. Microbial structure represented different consortia depending on the types of sludge in the anammox reactor.

세정단계를 거치는 혐기성 소화시스템(ADEPT, Anaeorbic Digestion Elutriated Phase Treatment)에서 돈사폐수를 처리한 유출수를 혐기성 암모늄 산화공정(ANAMMOX)에 적용하기 위하여 부분질산화 반응조의 기질로 사용하였다. 중온($35^{\circ}C$)에서 아질산성 질소를 축적하는 조절인자는 용존산소보다는 오히려 HRT, pH, 유리 암모니아(FA)였다. 중탄산의 스트립핑과 완충에 사용된 양을 포함한 중탄산알칼리도의 소모량은 전환된 $NH_4-N$ g당 8.78 g이었다. HRT 1일, DO 농도가 $2.7{\sim}4.4mg/L$의 안정상태에서 부분질산화 반응 유출수의 $NO_2-N/NH_4-N$ 비는 약 $1{\sim}$으로서, 부분질산화-혐기성 암모늄산화 결합공정의 ANAMMOX 반응조의 유입수로서 적합하였다.

Nitrogen removal with the combined SHARON (Single reactor system for high ammonium removal over nitrite)ANAMMOX (Anaerobic ammonium oxidation) process using the effluent of ADEPT (Anaerobic digestion elutriated phased treatment) slurry reactor with very low C/N ratio for piggery waste treatment was investigated. For the preceding SHARON reactor, ammonium nitrogen loading and removal rate were $0.97kg\;NH_4-N/m^3_{reactor}/day$ and $0.68kg\;NH_4-N/m^3_{reactor}/day$ respectively. In steady state, bicarbonate alkalinity consumption for ammonium nitrogen converted to $NO_2-N$ or $NO_3-N$ was 8.4 gram per gram ammonium nitrogen. The successive ANAMMOX reactor was fed with the effluent from SHARON reactor. The loading and removal rate of the soluble nitrogen defined as the sum total of $NH_4-N$, $NO_2-N$ and $NO_3-N$ in ANAMMOX reactor were $1.36kg\;soluble\;N/m^3_{reactor}/day$ and $0.7kg\;soluble\;N/m^3_{reactor}/day$, respectively. The average $NO_2-N/NH_4-N$ removal ratio by ANAMMOX was 2.41. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis verified that Candidatus Kuenenia stuttgartiensis were dominate, which means that they played an important role of nitrogen removal in ANAMMOX reactor.

Composting is widely used to transform waste into valuable agricultural organic fertilizer. Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria play an important role in the global nitrogen cycle, but their role in composting remains poorly understood. In the present study, the community structure, diversity, and abundance of anammox bacteria were analyzed using cloning and sequencing methods by targeting the 16S rRNA gene and the hydrazine oxidase gene (hzo) in samples isolated from compost produced from cow manure and rice straw. A total of 25 operational taxonomic units were classified based on 16S rRNA gene clone libraries, and 14 operational taxonomic units were classified based on hzo gene clone libraries. The phylogenetic tree analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and deduced HZO protein sequences from the corresponding encoding genes indicated that the majority of the obtained clones were related to the known anammox bacteria Candidatus "Brocadia," Candidatus "Kuenenia," and Candidatus "Scalindua." The abundances of anammox bacteria were determined by quantitative PCR, and between $2.13{\times}10^5$ and $1.15{\times}10^6$ 16S rRNA gene copies per gram of compost were found. This study provides the first demonstration of the existence of anammox bacteria with limited diversity in cow manure composting.

Recently, an autotrophic single-stage nitrogen removal (ASSNR) process based on the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) reaction has been proven as an economical ammonia treatment. It is highly evident that double-layered gel beads are a promising alternative to the natural biofilm for ASSNR because of the high mechanical strength of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/alginate structure and efficient protection of ANAMMOX bacteria from dissolved oxygen (DO) due to the thick outer layer. However, the thick outer layer results in severe mass transport limitation and consequent lowered bacterial activity. Therefore, the effects of the thickness of the outer layer on the overall reaction rate were tested in the biofilm model using AQUASIM for ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) and ANAMMOX bacteria. A thickness of 0.5~1.0 mm is preferred for the maximum total nitrogen (TN) removal. In addition, a DO of 0.5 mg/L resulted in the best total nitrogen removal. A higher DO induces NOB activity and consequent lower TN removal efficiency. The optimal density of AO B and NO B density was 1~10% for a 10% ANAMMOX bacterial in the double-layered PVA/alginate gel beads. The real effects of operating parameters of the thickness of the outer layer, DO and concentrations of biomass balance should be intensively investigated in the controlled experiments in batch and continuous modes.

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation with nitrite to $N_2$(anammox) is a recently discovered microbial reaction with interesting potential for nitrogen removal from wastewater. Here we investigated the microbial community structure in the sequencing batch reactor(SBR) with an anammox activity. The SBR was optimized for the enrichment of a very slowly growing microbial community and showed that possibility of anaerobic ammonium oxidation. Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) analysis revealed that anaerobic ammonium oxidizers were Candidatus Brocadia anammoxidans and Candidatus Kuenenia stuttgartiensis. Furthermore, Nitrosomol1as spp. of the ${\beta}$ -subclass of Proteobacteria was also present within the anaerobic SBR microorganisms.

본 연구에서는 혐기성 암모늄 산화(ANAMMOX)반응을 유도하기 위해 양조폐수를 처리하는 메탄 생성 반응조의 입상 슬러지를 혐기성 반응기에 식종하였다. 암모니아성 질소($NH_4^+-N$)와 아질산성 질소($NO_2^--N$)를 1:1의 비율로 인공폐수를 조제하여 반응조를 운전하였다. 실험기간은 반응기의 유입 질소농도 조건에 따라 3개의 phase로 구분하였다. 각 phase별 유출수의 질소농도, COD, 알칼리도, 발생 가스 조성을 측정하여 처리효율을 평가하였다. Phase 1에서는 유입 $NH_4^+$-N $NO_2^-$-N를 각각 1.91 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$부터 14.29 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$까지 점차 높였으며 Phase 2에서 각 질소의 부하를 23.81 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$, Phase 3에서는 19.05 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$로 하여 운전하였다. 아질산성 질소($NO_2^-$-N)는 전 기간에 걸쳐 99%까지 제거 되었으며, 암모니아성 질소($NH_4^+-N$)의 제거율은 각 phase별로 변동폭이 높았으며 이 중 Phase 2에서 최대 75%까지 제거되었다. 한편 각 phase별 반응조의 미생물 군집 변화는 16s rDNA방법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 입상 슬러지의 접종 초기인 Phase 1의 경우 메탄생성이 일정하게 유지되었으며 메탄균과 탈질균이 공존하였다. Phase 2의 경우 아질산성 질소($NO_2^--N$)와 암모니아성 질소($NH_4^+-N$)의 제거율이 각각 99%와 75%까지 증가하였으며 이 때 ANAMMOX균의 존재가 확인되었다. Phase 3의 경우 외부 공기 유입으로 인하여 암모니아성 질소(NH4+-N)의 제거율은 급격히 감소하였으나 미생물 군집 중 여전히 ANAMMOX균이 관측되었다.

The overall goal of this study was to characterize and quantify ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in four different full-scale sequence batch reactor (SBR) wastewater treatment plants. Also, this study focused on assessing the occurrence of the alternative ammonia-oxidizing microbes such as anammox (anaerobic ammonia oxidation) bacteria (AMX) and ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) in these systems. Based on total AOB numbers and the estimated cell density in the mixed liquor samples, AOB constituted 0.3 - 1.8% of the total bacterial population in the four WWTPs. Based on clone library, Nitrosomonas ureae-like AOB were dominant in plant A and B, while plant C and D had Nitrosomonas nitrosa-like AOB as major AOB group. The four different AMX primer sets targeting AMX 16S rRNA gene produced PCR amplicons distantly related to Chlamydia and Planctomycetales group bacteria. However, it was not clear these groups of bacteria perform anammox reaction in the SBR plants. Also, molecular evidence of AOA was found in one of the SBR plants, with a sequence located in the deep branch of the sediment creanarchaeota group.

질소화합물은 부영양화 등 수질을 악화시키는 결과를 초래하므로 질소 제거는 수처리에 있어 가장 중요한 문제들 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 독립영양탈질 공정인 CANON (Completely Autotrophic Nitrogen-removal Over Nitrite)을 이용하여 암모니아성 질소 제거 효율을 평가하고, 미생물 군집 분석을 수행하였다. AOB (Ammonium Oxidizing Bacteria)와 ANAMMOX(ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation)균을 동시에 식종하고, $37^{\circ}C$에서 유입 암모니아성 질소농도 100 mg-N/L와 아질산성 질소 농도 100 mg-N/L 조건으로 운전한 결과, 성공적인 CANON 반응이 유도되었다. 유입수에서 아질산성 질소를 제외시키고 암모니아성 질소(100 mg-N/L)만을 공급하였을 때, DO농도 0.4 mg/L 이상에서는 CANON의 성능이 악화되었지만, DO농도를 0.3 mg/L으로 낮추자 71.3%의 총 질소제거효율을 나타내었다. 유입 암모니아성 질소 농도를 50 mg-N/L로 낮추었을 때, 질소 제거효율이 급격히 악화되었다. 그러나 유입농도를 다시 100 mg-N/L로 증가시키자 14일 만에 이전의 질소제거성능을 회복하였고, 이후 $76.1{\pm}4.9%$의 총 질소제거효율을 나타냈다. 온도를 상온($20{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) 조건으로 전환하자 초기에는 불안정한 CANON 반응이 일어났지만, 23일 이후에는 안정적인 총 질소제거효율($70.0{\pm}2.6$%)을 유지하였다. PCR-DGGE를 이용한 미생물군집 분석 결과, 식종원과 CANON의 미생물군집은 확연한 차이를 나타냈지만, CANON의 각 조건에 따른 미생물군집은 크게 다르지 않았다. 따라서 질소제거 성능의 악화는 미생물군집을 구성하는 미생물종의 변화에 기인하기 보다는 구성 미생물종들의 질소제거 활성의 저하에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 결과는 AOB와 ANAMMOX균을 식종하여 CANON 반응을 성공적으로 유도한다면, 이후 농도나 온도의 변화에도 안정적인 미생물군집을 유지할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.
