A C/N ratio of 1:1 was noted to achieve high sulfide removal and S0 conversion rate at high salinity. The extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) quantities were increased with NaCl concentration, being 11.4-mg/g volatile-suspended solids at 70 mg/L NaCl. The denitrifying sulfide removal (DSR) consortium incorporated Thauera sp. and Halomonas sp. as the heterotrophs and Azoarcus sp. being the autotrophs at high salinity condition. Halomonas sp. correlates with the enhanced DSR performance at high salinity. © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Denitrifying sulfide removal; EGSB; Elemental sulfur; High salinity[SDGs]SDG3[SDGs]SDG6Carbon; Carbon dioxide; Denitrification; Nitrogen; Sulfur; Sulfur dioxide; Denitrifying sulfide removal; EGSB; Elemental sulfur; Expanded granular sludge bed reactor; Extracellular polymeric substances; High salinity; High salinity wastewaters; Volatile suspended solids; Sulfur compounds; acetic acid; extracellular polymeric substance; nitrite; polymer; sodium chloride; sulfate; sulfide; unclassified drug; volatile agent; sodium chloride; sulfide; waste water; bacterium; concentration (composition); denitrification; heterotrophy; pollutant removal; polymerization; salinity; sludge; wastewater; water treatment; Article; Azoarcus; concentration (parameters); controlled study; denitrification; denitrifying sulfide removal; desulfurization; expanded bed reactor; expanded granular sludge bed reactor; Halomonas; nonhuman; reactor operation; salinity; suspended particulate matter; Thauera; waste water management; bioremediation; chemistry; denitrification; devices; evaluation study; growth, development and aging; Halomonas; metabolism; microbiology; procedures; waste water; water management; Azoarcus sp.; Halomonas; Thauera; Biodegradation, Environmental; Denitrification; Halomonas; Sodium Chloride; Sulfides; Waste Water; Water Purificationjournal article10.1007/s00253-015-7039-62-s2.0-84954498478https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84954498478&doi=10.1007%2fs00253-015-7039-6&partnerID=40&md5=1c8d1cf07be6cf1264697bcab639901d
