Ammonia transformation by potential consortium in the aquatic system
摘要
In the present research, the removal of high concentration of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate was determined by using the efficient ammonia-oxidizing bacterial isolates (AOB AMS 1, AOB AMS 2, AOB AMS 5 and AOB AMSS 1) along with the consortium of all four bacterial isolates from the aquaculture both in lab-scale as well as in-situ at bioreactor level. It was found that the highest percentage of ammonia was degrade by AOB AMS 2 (99.64%± 5) followed by AOB AMS 5 (99.51%± 4.6), AOB AMSS 1 (99.38%± 5) and AOB AMS 1 (89.66%± 3.5) from an initial concentration of 30 mg/L whereas from an initial concentration of 60 mg/L, the removal rate of each strain was AOB AMS 5 (99.36%± 5), AOB AMSS 1 (99.15%± 5.60), AOB AMS 2 (98.78%± 5.3) and AOB AMS 1 (88.36%± 3.2) and their consortium removes (99.97%± 5.20)at 60 mg/L. Further, in-situ transformation was carried out in the river water with 5% of inoculum. Their growth was monitored (initial and final) by observing the colony forming unit (CFU) and transformation of ammonia and nitrite was also observed and it was found that (100 ± 2%)of ammonia was removed. The growth of consortium was 3 × 102CFU/ml on 1st day, 2.5 × 104 CFU/ml on 5th day and 4.2 × 105 CFU/ml on 10th day. This study proved that the bacterial consortium of AOB AMS 1, AOB AMS 2, AOB AMS 5 and AOB AMSS 1 was highly efficient for the removal of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate from the aquatic system to reduce the toxic level from aquaculture environment.Currently we observed the transformation efficiency at lab-scaleand in-situ level.
