We report the isolation of a new bacterium species (named as DN-06) that degrades pyridine, a model compound containing both carbon and nitrogen, from the aerobic activated sludge in a coking wastewater treatment plant. DN-06 was identified as Achromobacter sp. using 16S rDNA sequence analysis. In batch culture, more than 95% of pyridine (500 mg/L) was degraded within 18 h by DN-06 grown at 35°C and pH 8 with agitation at 170 rpm. Degradation experiments of pyridine at different initial concentrations (50–4,300 mg/L) revealed that pyridine was an inhibitory substrate, and that neither yield coefficient Y nor endogenous decay coefficient K d was a constant. The values of Y and K d were 0.55–0.74 and 0.0032–0.0057 h−1, respectively. Five kinetic models (Haldane, Yano, Aiba, Webb, and Monod) were fitted to the experimental growth kinetic data. Models of Haldane and Yano (correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.929) were the most suitable models. For Haldane kinetic model, the values of μ max, K s, and K i were 0.161 h−1, 142.6 mg/L, and 4234.8 mg/L, respectively. The large values of Y and K i indicated that DN-06 had good tolerance against high pyridine concentrations. These results indicated possible future applications of Achromobacter sp. DN-06 in removing pyridine from industrial wastewaters, as well as in destroying pyridine in concentrated solutions during further treatment of trial water coupling with adsorption technology.
