Based on its morphology, physiology, biochemical analysis and phylogenetic characteristics, the isolate was identified as Diaphorobacter sp. PD-7. Biodegradation tests of phenol showed that the maximum phenol degradation occurred at the late phase of exponential growth stages, with 1400 mg·L^-1 phenol completely degraded within 85 h. Diaphorobacter sp. PD-7 accumulated a vast quantity of phenol hydroxylase in this physiological phase, ensuring that the cells quickly utilize phenol as a sole carbon and energy source. The kinetic behavior ofDiaphorobacter sp. PD-7 in batch cultures was investigated over a wide range of initial phenol concentrations （0-1400mg·L^-1） by using the Haldane model, which adequately describes the dynamic behavior of phenol biodegradation by strain Diaphombacter sp. PD-7. At initial phenol concentration of 1400mg· L^-l, batch experiments （0.25 L flask） of nitrogen removal under aerobic condition gave almost entirely removal of 120.69mg· L^- 1 ammonium nitrogen within 75 h, while nitrate nitrogen removal reached 91% within 65 h. Moreover, hydroxylamine oxidase, periplasmic nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase were successfully expressed in the isolate.展开更多
