ABSTRACT:
A method for treating nitrate-contaminated water comprising treating said water with hydrogen-oxidizing denitrifying bacteria in the presence of hydrogen. The apparatus for use in this method preferably comprises:(a) a pure culture of autotrophic, hydrogen-oxidizing denitrifying bacteria;(b) a hydrogen generator;(c) a flow-through bioreactor; and(d) a filtration unit.
