Abstract
Klebsiella oxytoca isolate 15 was isolated from the grounds of a nitration factory and was found to be tolerant to nitrate at concentrations up to 0.5 to 1 M. Physicochemical parameters for optimal growth conditions for K. oxytoca isolate 15 were established. Growth took place when the nitrate concentration in the medium was less than 150 mM, and full nitrate consumption required about 14 g of C per g of N. This strain was able to remove nitrate without accumulating nitrite. The system was scaled up to a 40-liter pilot plant and was operated on-site satisfactorily.Entities:
