| Abstract | The aim of this work was to isolate and characterize ammonium oxidizing bacteria (BOA) of a subsurface flow wetland plant wastewater treatment at the Universidad de Boyacá. For this purpose, soil sample dilutions were made, which were enriched with ammonium broth and incubated for 28 days at 30°C. From tubes with positive reaction for nitrite, bacteria were isolated on minimal medium with ammonium as the sole nitrogen source. 16 isolates were obtained, which were characterized macroscopic, microscopic, and biochemically. Of the 16 isolates obtained, only 4 had the ability to grow rapidly in solid ammonium medium for 28 days at 30oC. These isolates were tested for their ability to oxidize ammonium to nitrite in minimal mineral salts medium. The results indicated that isolation A7 and A15 showed significant differences in the oxidation of ammonia with respect to the other selected isolates, which indicates its potential to be used in treatment processes of wastewater. |
