Nutrient and heavy metal pollutions are major concern worldwide.
This study aimed at comparing the effect of Ni2+ on nutrient removal efficiency of four indigenous wastewater protozoan species (Aspidisca sp., Paramecium sp., Peranema sp., Trachelophyllum sp.).
Specific physicochemical parameters and microbial growth/die-off were measured using standard methods.
The results revealed that protozoan species were able to simultaneously remove phosphate, nitrate and Ni2+ at concentrations ranging between 66.4-99.36 %, 56.19-99.88 % and 45.98-85.69 %, respectively.
Peranema sp.
appeared to be the isolates with the highest removal of nutrients (Phosphate-99.36 % and Nitrate-99.88 %) while Paramecium sp.
showed higher removal of Ni2+ at 85.69 % and low removal of nutrients.
Aspidisca sp.
was the most sensitive isolate to Ni2+ but with significant nutrient removal (Phosphate-66.4 % and Nitrate-56.19 %) at 10 mg-N2+ / L followed by an inhibition of nutrient removal at Ni2+ concentration greater than 10 mg / L.
Significant correlation between the growth rate and nutrient removal (r = 0.806 / 0.799, p < 0.05 for phosphate and nitrate, respectively) was noted.
Except for Peranema sp.
which revealed better nutrient removal ability at 10 mg-Ni2+ / L, an increase in Ni2+ concentration had a significant effect on nutrient removal efficiency of these indigenous protozoan species.
This study suggests that although Ni2+ appeared to be toxic to microbial isolates, its effect at a low concentration (10 mg-Ni2+ / L) towards these isolates can be used to enhance the wastewater treatment process for the removal of nutrients.
Peranema sp., which was able to remove both Ni2+ and nutrients from wastewater mixed-liquor, can also be used for bioremediation of wastewater systems.
