To enhance nitrogen removal of fermentation pharmaceutical wastewater with high nitrogen load, a full-scale process based on simultaneous partial nitrification-denitrification/ anammox/ sulfur autotrophic denitrifica-tion (SPAS) was established via inoculating with bioaugmentation consortia in a modified two-stage AO. More than 93 % TN and 98 % NH4+-N removal were obtained at a rate of 0.8 kg-N/ m3/d in the first A/O stage, in which short-cut SND was involved with 96.05 % ESND when bioaugmented with SND, while S0-SAD could coordinate with anammox to exert further deep denitrification in the second A/O stage. KEGG analysis demonstrated that the SPAS process was synergism of HD, PN/PDN, SND, SAD and anammox metabolism, bioaugmentation could significantly up-regulate genes related to microbial metabolism (TCA cycle, Carbon metabolism, ABC trans-porters) and environmental adaptation (Two-component system, Quorum sensing) based on the FAPROTAX and Picrust2 functional prediction. This study provided a new perspective in engineering applications.
