An aerobic nitrite-denitrifying bacterium Pseudomonas putida Y-12 was used to remove sole and mixed nitrogen sources at 15 °C. When strain Y-12 was incubated for 4 days with a sole nitrogen source and initial NH<inf>4</inf>+-N, NO<inf>3</inf>−-N, and NO<inf>2</inf>−-N concentrations of 208.1, 204.7, and 199.0 mg/L, respectively, the removal ratios of NH<inf>4</inf>+-N, NO<inf>3</inf>−-N, and NO<inf>2</inf>−-N were 98.8, 73.6, and 77.1%, respectively. The average removal rates of NH<inf>4</inf>+-N, NO<inf>3</inf>−-N, and NO<inf>2</inf>−-N reached 2.14, 1.57, and 1.60 mg/L/h, respectively. Intermediate products (NO<inf>3</inf>−-N and NO<inf>2</inf>−-N) were detected at a low level. Total nitrogen removal was mainly achieved during the stationary phase in the denitrification process. All the results indicated that strain Y-12 could perform heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification at 15 °C, which was beneficial for future applications in wastewater treatment at low temperatures.
