Abstract: In order to screen and identify new strain with nitrification, a denitrifier was isolated from sewage treatment plant. The strain named N312 isolated by enrichment and plate culture was identified based on its morphology characteristics, 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis and Biolog. The conditions of medium composition were optimized by orthogonal experiment. The autotrophic denitrifier strain N312 was isolated and identified as Rhizobium radiobacter, which was rod, Gram-negative, colony round and white. The results indicated that the nitrite removal efficiency by the strain could reach 100% after 6 days. The best medium was NaNO2 1.5 g, Na2CO3 1.5 g, Mg2SO4·7H2O 0.25 g, FeSO4·7H2O 0.2 g,KH2PO4 0.5 g. Strain N312 is a new autotrophic denitrifier with a highly research value.
