High-efficiency ammonifiers are imperative for the treatment of wastewater with high organic nitrogen content. Ammonification characteristics and the corresponding protease production and activity of a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was studied using simulated wastewater. High ammonification was observed with more than 500 mg/L NH4+ released from tryptone medium after 18-h cultivation and almost all the organic nitrogen was transformed to NH4+-N and biomass. Single factor experiments were performed to optimize the conditions. For ammonification, pH 5, 25–37 °C, and a C:N ratio <15 were optimal; for protease production, pH 7, 30 °C and addition of 2 mM Mn2+ were favorable, whereas pH 8, 50–60 °C and the presence of 1 mM Mn2+ showed the highest protease activity. Moreover, protease inhibition experiment indicated that Bacillus amyloliquefaciens DT simultaneously produces metalloprotease and serine protease. Correlation analysis indicated that protease production and ammonification were tightly coupled with cell growth during the logarithmic growth phase. However, temperature had different influence on the correlations between protease secretion and cell growth. These findings are expected to help in designing a high-efficiency reactor for the treatment of wastewater with high organic nitrogen and enhance our understanding of the production and activity of proteases during the ammonification process.
