Abstract
The enhancement of gibberellin (GA) on the activity of anaerobic ammonium oxidation(anammox) bacteria in short-term batch experiments(500â¯mL serum bottle) was studied in this paper. To make sure the accuracy of the data, each experiment group was conducted some statistical analysis. The results showed that GA played an important role in improving anammox activity when the GA dosage ranged from 0.1 to 1.5â¯mgâ¯Lâ1, and the total nitrogen removal rate (NRR) was increased by 34% when the GA dosage was 1â¯mgâ¯Lâ1. The monitoring results of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and biomass of anammox bacteria indicated that GA addition improved the secretion of EPS and the biomass increasing, whose amount achieved maximum under the GA dose of 1â¯mgâ¯Lâ1. Compared to the control test, the maximum improvement ratio of the EPS and biomass was 28.6% and 34%, respectively. In addition, the cloning results also indicated that the anammox bacterial community structure shifted in species level of Candidatus Brocadia genus during the experiment, and the most dominant anammox bacteria were Candidatus Brocadia fulgid.
