The coexistence of multiple pollutants has become a distinctive feature of water pollution. However, there are a few strains that can remove nitrate and tetracycline (TC). Here, the efficiency of strain XS-18 in removing nitrate and TC was analyzed, and the mechanism of tolerance and removal of TC was investigated by infrared spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, and genome analysis. XS-18 could efficiently remove TC (0.40 mg·L⁻¹·h⁻¹) at pH 7.0–11.0 with auto-aggregation. TC was removed via extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) (55.90%) and cell surface (44.10%) adsorption. TC (10 mg/L) could stimulate XS-18 to secrete more polysaccharides and hydrophobic proteins to improve its auto-aggregation ability. The findings also confirmed that TC resistance genes were present. Furthermore, the bacterial flagellum, signal transduction of the chemotactic system and regulatory genes were shown to be related to the auto-aggregation of the strain. XS-18 has potential applications in the treatment of wastewater containing nitrate and TC.
