Original Abstract

A novel strain of Paracoccus sp. QD-21, which is capable of simultaneous heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification, was isolated and investigated for the potential in removal of nitrogen in wastewater treatment. The strain exhibited nitrogen removal rates of 5.55, 3.35, and 2.78 mg/(L·h) for NH
