Partial-denitrification coupled with anammox (PD/A) process is regarded as an emerging technology to improve nitrogen removal efficiency during municipal wastewater treatment. In this work, the shift from low to high nitrite accumulation in one-stage anoxic biofilm reactor using PD/A process was studied. When dinirogen gas (N 2) was pumped into the bioreactor to remove CO 2 , effluent nitrite concentration sharply increased from 0.3 mg N/L on day 10 without N 2 to 14.6 mg N/L on day 21 with N 2 , but the coupled anammox reaction almost stopped. Batch tests indicate that the metabolic process of PD/A underwent a notable shift, transitioning from initially low nitrite (<0.5 mg N/L) to high nitrite accumulation (13.5 mg N/L). Metagenomic sequencing demonstrated that Thauera was associated with the genes napA, napB and narG , supporting the improved nitrate-to-nitrite pathway. The shift in coupling mechanisms demonstrated that the one-stage PD/A process has significant practical potential. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
