PG - 119912 LID - S0301-4797(23)02700-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119912 [doi] AB - An Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain HM12 capable of heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) under nutrient-poor conditions was isolated, with an ammonia nitrogen (NH(4)(+)-N) removal efficiency of 98.53%. It can also remove heavy metals by microbial induced calcium precipitation (MICP) with a Ca(2+) removal efficiency of 75.91%. Optimal conditions for HN-AD and mineralization of the strain were determined by kinetic analysis (pH = 7, C/N = 2.0, Ca(2+) = 70.0 mg L(-1), NH(4)(+)-N = 5.0 mg L(-1)). Growth curves and nitrogen balance elucidated nitrogen degradation pathways capable of converting NH(4)(+)-N to gaseous nitrogen. The analysis of the bioprecipitation showed that Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) were removed by the MICP process through co-precipitation and adsorption (maximum removal efficiencies of 93.39% and 80.70%, respectively), mainly ZnCO(3), CdCO(3), ZnHPO(4), Zn(3)(PO(4))(2) and Cd(3)(PO(4))(2). Strain HM12 produces humic and fulvic acids to counteract the toxicity of pollutants, as well as aromatic proteins to increase extracellular polymers (EPS) and promote the biomineralization process. This study provides a experimental evidence for the simultaneous removal of multiple pollutants from nutrient-poor waters. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
