Popis: To solve the problems of high-energy consumption, complex processes, and low nitrogen removal efficiency in the currently available low carbon source wastewater treatment processes, a novel coagulation sedimentation/post solid-phase denitrification biofilter process (CS-BAF-SPDB) was proposed. The effect of gas/water ratio on nitrogen removal efficiency of the CS-BAF-SPDB was studied. The changes in the microbial community structure along the varying gas/water ratio were investigated, and the functional bacteria were identified using polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). The results showed that, to realize favorable nitrifying and denitrifying performance simultaneously in the BAF-SPDB unit, the gas/water ratio of the BAF should be set at 4∶1. In addition, the influence of the macro operational parameters on the performance of the BAF and SPDB had a direct relationship with the dynamic changes in the micro microbial community. The influence of gas/water ratio on nitrification performance in the BAF was mainly embodied in the changes of composition, amount, and activity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria
