Abstract

The effects of dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH on nitrous oxide (N₂O) production rates and pathways in autotrophic partial nitrification (PN) granules were investigated at the granular level. N₂O was primarily produced by betaproteobacterial ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, mainly Nitrosomonas europaea, in the oxic surface layer (<200μm) of the autotrophic PN granules. N₂O production increased with increasing bulk DO concentration owing to activation of the ammonia (i.e., hydroxylamine) oxidation in this layer. The highest N₂O emissions were observed at pH 7.5, although the ammonia oxidation rate was unchanged between pH 6.5 and 8.5. Overall, the results of this study suggest that in situ analyses of PN granules are essential to gaining insight into N₂O emission mechanisms in a granule.
