Abstract: At the present,the biological treatment of high ammonium nitrogen wastewater has attracted much attention because of its environmental friendly characteristics and high efficiency. Most of strains can not be excavated due to entry into a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state. The resuscitation of VBNC strains is important for biological treatment of wastewater with high ammonium nitrogen. In this study,VBNC strain was cultured in high ammonium nitrogen wastewater by resuscitation-promoting factors (Rpf) resuscitation,and its homology was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The isolated strains,which were originally in the VBNC state, were further conducted to investigate the aerobic denitrification capacities with the help of the analyses of nitrate, nitrite, total nitrogen, and ammonium nitrogen. The results showed that the strains belonged to Gordonia and Pseudomonas, among which the aerobic denitrification ability of strain ZYR51 was the highest. This study provides a new method for excavation of VBNC bacteria with aerobic denitrifying properties and a new way for screening efficient strains in the treatment of ammonium nitrogen wastewater.

Key words: high ammonia nitrogen wastewater, VBNC bacteria, Rpf protein, microbial resource, nitrogen removal
