Abstract:
The invention discloses a method to provide a consortium containing heterotrophic nitrifying and aerobic denitrifying microorganisms from an activated sludge originating from effluent treatment plants. The microbial consortium is capable of removing ammoniacal nitrogen from substrates with high salinity with superior efficiency. Thus, the microbial consortium from the described method can be applied to purify hypersaline effluents contaminated with nitrogen. Therefore, the use of the microorganism consortium provided to remove ammoniacal nitrogen from hypersaline effluents and a method therefor are also part of the scope of the invention.
