Extremophilic bacteria tolerant to ammonia gas were isolated, capable of utilizing ammonia gas for growth and exhibiting strong resistance to ammonia in the environment. These bacteria were identified as Bacillus lentus, Paenibacillus lentus, and Bacillus altitudinis, showcasing potential for deodorizing ammonia gas and ameliorating malodors.
Ammonia gas-tolerant extremophilic bacteria capable of growing in atmospheres containing up to 4000 ppm of gaseous ammonia were isolated. These bacteria were capable of growing in nutrient broth containing high concentrations of ammonia water, with growth in medium augmented with 0.1-0.2% ammonia exceeding that in medium without ammonia. The minimal inhibitory concentration of ammonia in the medium was 0.5%. The isolated ammonia gas-tolerant bacterium was moderately alkaliphilic, with optimum growth was observed at pH 9. DNA sequence analysis of the 16SrRNA gene revealed that the isolated bacterium was Bacillus lentus. Furthermore, extremophilic bacteria cultured in a 1300 ppm ammonia gas atmosphere on agar medium containing no nitrogen sources were observed to use ammonia gas for growth. These bacteria were identified as Paenibacillus lentus and Bacillus altitudinis based on 16SrRNA gene sequence analysis. The deodorizing effect of ammonia odor by the isolated bacteria immobilized on sawdust was evaluated. The findings showed that forcing ammonia gas through a column containing B. altitudinis immobilized on sawdust reduced the concentration of ammonia gas by 30% compared to columns containing sawdust only. The isolated bacteria immobilized on wood sawdust lost the capacity deodorization after drying, but this function could be restored with increased moisture. The ammonia gas-tolerant extremophilic bacteria immobilized on sawdust show considerable potential for use in ameliorating malodors associated with outdoor heat-treated toilets.
