The Foundation and Model Research of Aspergillus niger NBG5 for Application of Aquaculture Nitrogenous Removal System

The research demonstrated that an easily cultivated fungus was screened from filter materials of fresh water recycle aquaculture system. A fungus, characterized as being able to remediate multiple nitrogenous wastes, was identified as Aspergillus niger NBG5. A. niger NBG5 was developed as superior fungus through bioreactor so as to establish a nitrogenous removal system of single tank stirred tank reactor (SSTR).
A. niger NBG5¡¦s remediative responses were tested under various temperatures. The experiment showed that specific nitrogen consumption rate was 0.047 g-N g-cell-1 day-1 at 30¢J which were better than nitrite nitrogen and protein nitrogen consumption. When the artificial wastes¡¦ ammonium concentration was set as 50 mg L-1, its ammonium consumption rate was 4.8 mg m-2 day-1. The ammonium consumption rate reached 0.32 mg m-2 day-1 with aquaculture wastes. The result revealed that SSTR removed nitrogen from aquaculture wastes by A. niger NBG5 and achieved a purpose of decreasing ammonium within aquaculture wastes.
The research simulated ammonium variable numerals between SSTR and BSTR (the system of bi-tank stirred tank reactor). Through BSTR, regression formula with water flow rate and ammonium removal efficiency rate was y = 5.7219x-0.9616 when the ammonium concentration was set as 50 mg L-1. SSTR simulated a phenomenon¡Xthe more ammonium concentration aquaculture wastes reached, the much waste water volume of aquaculture tank it had. Based on the same requirements, a better water flow rate would be concluded through various water flow rate simulation tests. SSTR numerical simulation system could simulate ammonium production rate of fish tank to get consumption trends of ammonium concentration in fish tank and reactor. The simulation results would be able to decide later system design, water flow rate, feed timing and similar research references.
