The effect of nitrite on autotrophic denitrification was tested using mixed electron donors of Mn(II) and Fe(II) with Pseudomonas sp. SZF15. In batch experiments, nitrate and nitrite were completely depleted without ammonia production (denitrification rate of 0.151mg-NO3--NL(-1)h(-1) and 0.104mg-NO2--NL(-1)h(-1), respectively), suggesting that denitrification occurred by strain SZF15 via nitrite reductase. A maximum denitrification rate of 0.097mg-NOX--NL(-1)h(-1) was found at an n(NO3--N):n(NO2--N) ratio of 5:5. Edwards and Aiba models were used to describe the denitrification inhibition caused by nitrite, and the kinetic parameters determined from the Edwards model were r(max) of 2.148mg-NO2--Ng-VSS(-1)h(-1), K-S of 6.225mg-NO2--NL-1, and K-I of 25.152mg-NO2--NL-1. These results provide useful information for optimization of the autotrophic denitrification process by avoiding inhibition to obtain higher denitrification efficiencies. In addition, strain SZF15 showed excellent denitrification performance for groundwater treatment.
