In this paper, eight strains of heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrifying bacteria were cultivated in simulated food wastewater, in order to study the degradation characteristics of eight strains. In this experiment, eight strains were cultivated in simulated food wastewater, with sodium succinate as carbon source, ammonium sulfate as nitrogen source, and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate as phosphorus source, and OD600, COD, NH3-N, TN, and TP were detected every 24 hours. The results showed that eight strains of bacteria grew well in simulated food wastewater and have good biochemical and denitrify ability. In the initial water with COD of 2310mg/L and TN of 87mg/L, the highest removal rate of COD and TN can reach 972% and 892% respectively, but phosphorus removal effect was not obvious. It indicated that this eight strains could degrade COD and TN in low consumption of phosphorus source, and they were suitable for processing food wastewater of high N/P without supplement phosphorus source.
