Abstract: In order to quickly and accurately screen aerobic denitrifying bacterial strains,a specific software Primer Explorer V4 was applied to design the LAMP(loop-mediated isothermal amplification technology)primers for the gene nirS,nirK and nosZ. The strains were firstly screened by the LAMP system after accumulation and isolation on suitable medium in aerobic condition,and further screened by PCR and gas-producing detection. Then,the denitrification performance of the selected strains was detected. The results indicated that 7 denitrifying bacteria strains containing genes nirS or nirK gene and nosZ,including KFDX1,KFDX2,KFDX3,KFDX4,KWDX1,FJ3-1 and FJ3-2,were firstly screened,after reacting for 60 min at 60℃ in LAMP system and GeneFinderTM staining direct observation. The result of PCR was consistent with the screening result of LAMP,and finally,6 strains produced gas after gas-generating detection. Finally,5 aerobic denitrifying strains producing N2,i.e.,KFDX1,KFDX2,KFDX3,KWDX1,and FJ3-2 were screed out. The results of denitrifying capacity test indicated that,the removal rates of NO2-N and NO3-N by the 5 selected strains were over 99% and 90% after 24 h,respectively. The maximum removal rates were up to 4.9 mg/(L·h)and 4.03 mg/(L·h). The result of this study is of significance for improving the screening method of denitrifying bacterial strains and promoting its application in wastewater treatment.
