NDC-6 Psychrotolerant Nitrogen Removal SynCom

A six-strain psychrotolerant composite microbial agent for low-temperature nitrogen removal, generated by coculturing nitrifying consortium NC1 (Pseudomonas veronii HN1, Pseudomonas poae HN2, and Pseudomonas peli HN3) with aerobic-denitrifying consortium DC1 (Aeromonas sp. AD1, Pseudomonas extremaustralis AD2, and Serratia liquefaciens AD3) at a 1:1 inoculation ratio.

NC1-DC1 synergistic nitrogen removal

The complete NDC-6 community combines NC1 nitrifying strains with DC1 aerobic-denitrifying strains and outperforms the individual strains or single-function consortia in low-temperature nitrogen and COD removal.

Participating Taxa: Pseudomonas veronii HN1, Pseudomonas poae HN2, Pseudomonas peli HN3, Aeromonas sp. AD1, Pseudomonas extremaustralis AD2, Serratia liquefaciens AD3

Metabolites: ammonium (CHEBI:28938 · MediaIngredientMech · CMMMech), nitrate (CHEBI:17632 · MediaIngredientMech · CMMMech)

Evidence

  • PMID:41504900 - SUPPORT (IN_VITRO)
    "After 3 days of incubation at 10 °C, NDC-6 achieved removal efficiencies of 89.3%, 88.1%, 85.5%, and 95.3% for NH4+-N, NO3--N, total nitrogen (TN), and chemical oxygen demand (COD)"
  • PMID:41504900 - SUPPORT (IN_VITRO)
    "The dissimilatory mechanism relied on synergistic metabolism and functional complementation between NC1 and DC1, mediated by their respective functional genes."

Knowledge gaps & discussions (1)

KNOWLEDGE_GAP OPEN Resolve the full NDC-6 medium formulation, nitrogen concentrations used in the optimized assay, assay duration at the response-surface optimum, strain isolation histories, vessel geometry, and the detailed NC1/DC1 compatibility protocol from the version of record.

The indexed PubMed abstract identifies all six NDC-6 member strains, the NC1 and DC1 module design, the 1:1 inoculation ratio, sodium succinate as the optimized carbon source, and optimized pH, temperature, C/N ratio, and shaking speed. The accessible abstract does not report the full medium composition, source habitats of the individual strains, the optimized-assay duration, or vessel details.
