Abstract: Being screened by a phosphate uptake experiment, where nitrates were denitrified to gas and through inspection of metachromatic and Polyphydroxybutyrate (PHB) granules, denitrifying phosphate-accumulating organisms (DNPAOs) P1-1 was isolated from a water sample in Lake Wuliangsuhai of Inner Mongolia. According to its morphological, physiological characteristics, BIOLOG identification and the analysis of its 16S rRNA sequence, it was identified as a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens. The growth curve shows that strain P1-1 enters stationary phase in 12 hours’ training. Meanwhile, some important factors, temperature and pH value were studied to evaluate their effect on the growth and phosphorus removal ratios of strain P1-1. The results showed that the optimal conditions for the strain’s growth and phosphorus removal are 30℃ and pH8.0.
