摘要:The efficient nitrate reducing bacterial species was isolated from water sample collected from Salem districtof Tamil Nadu, India. The bacterial strain Bacillus sp. (SW-59) selected as potential organism and it showed a betternitrate removal efficiency in the nitrate reduction test. Influence of various carbon sources, incubation temperature andpH on nitrate removal was studies in mineral salts medium (MSM) supplemented with 100 mg/L of nitrate. Efficientnitrate reduction of 84.02% was attained in MSM amended with 0.5% of starch at an optimum temperature of 35°C andpH 7. This observation has led to the conclusion that the bacterial strain (SW- 59) showed better efficiency for nitrateremoval from synthetic nitrate-rich wastewater.
