A heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying bacterium, identified as Thauera butanivorans SVT, was isolated from spice wastewater. Genomic DNA of the isolate was extracted for whole-genome sequencing to analyze and predict nitrogen metabolic pathways. The nitrogen metabolism characteristics were investigated using 100mg/L NH4+-N, NO3--N, or NO2--N as sole nitrogen sources. The effects of different carbon sources (sodium acetate anhydrous, sodium citrate, sodium succinate, sucrose, and glucose), C/N ratios (1, 5, 10, 15, 30), temperatures (10℃, 20℃, 30℃, 40℃, 50℃), and pH levels (4.0, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 10.0) on its heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification performance were systematically investigated. Results showed total nitrogen removal rates of (86.96±1.03)%, (60.52±4.70)%, and (64.32±1.40)% within 48hours when using NH4+-N, NO3--N, and NO2--N as sole nitrogen sources, respectively. Strain SVT demonstrated growth and nitrogen removal capabilities under all tested conditions, with optimal performance achieved using sodium acetate anhydrous as carbon source at 30℃, C/N=10, and pH 7.5. Genomic analysis identified six nitrogen metabolism-related functional enzyme genes (napAB, nxrAB, nirBD, nirS, norBC, and nosZ). Combined with KEGG database alignment and single nitrogen source metabolism results, the proposed nitrogen metabolic pathways include: ammonium assimilation (NH4+-N→L-glutamate→L-glutamine), nitrification (NH4+-N→NO2--N→NO3--N), denitrification (NO3--N→NO2--N→NO→N2O→N2), and DNRA pathway (NO3--N→NO2--N→NH4+-N). This study demonstrates that strain SVT exhibits efficient heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification capabilities, showing promising potential for wastewater treatment applications.
