Abstract
In recent years, with the rapid development of industrial revolution and urbanization, the generation and treatment of a large number of salt-containing industrial wastewater has attracted wide attention. A novel salt-tolerant Zobellella denitrificans sp. LX16 with excellent nitrogen removal and biomineralization capabilities was isolated in this experiment. Kinetic experiments were conducted to determine the optimal condition. Under this condition, chemical oxygen demand (COD) can be entirely removed together with ammonia nitrogen, and the removal efficiency of calcium was 88.09%. Growth curves and nitrogen balance tests showed that strain LX16 not only had good HNAD and MICP capabilities, but also had high nitrite reductase and nitrate reductase activities during this process. Three-dimensional fluorescence results reflected that when external carbon sources were lacking or salinity was high, humic acid could effectively enhance the metabolic activity of heterotrophic nitrifying aerobic denitrifying microorganisms through extracellular electron transfer, and the substances produced in the metabolic process could promote biommineralization. Moreover, combined with SEM, SEM-EDS, XRD and FTIR analysis, it is concluded that the microbial surface can provide nucleation sites to form calcium salts, and with the increase of alkalinity to generate Ca5(PO4)3OH. The theoretical basis for the use of biological treatment in reverse osmosis wastewater have been proved by this experiment.

Abstract
Pseudomonas sp. Y1, a strain with superior synchronous removal ability of ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N), phosphate (PO43--P), and calcium (Ca2+) was isolated, with the removal efficiencies of 92.04, 99.98, and 83.40 %, respectively. Meanwhile, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) was degraded by 90.33 %. Through kinetic analysis, the optimal cultivated conditions for heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HNAD) and biomineralization were determined. The growth curves experimental results of different nitrogen sources indicated that strain Y1 could remove NH4+-N through HNAD. The results of excitation-emission matrix (EEM) proved that the appearance of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) promoted the precipitation of phosphate minerals. Finally, the characterization results of the bioprecipitates showed that the HNAD process produced the alkalinity required for microbial induced calcium precipitation (MICP), resulting in the removal of PO43- via adsorption and co-precipitation. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of microorganisms to achieve synchronous nutrient removal and phosphorus recovery in wastewater.
