  ABSTRACT: In this study, a weak acid-resistant strain SW-1 was isolated from the aeration tank of the sewage treatment plant at Shanxi Normal University and identified as Delftia lacustris. It exhibited a high capability for degrading aniline up to 1500 mg/L. Under optimal conditions (pH 6.0, 30˚C), 1000 mg/L of aniline was nearly completely degraded within 32 hours. When utilizing sodium acetate, glucose, and folic acid as co-metabolic carbon and nitrogen sources, the strain demonstrated enhanced degradation efficiency for aniline. RT-qPCR analysis indicated that the strain degrades aniline via the meta-cleavage pathway. This finding could provide a theoretical basis and practical material for the treatment of aniline pollution. The adaptability of strain SW-1 to diverse cultivation conditions signifies its potential for degrading aniline in weak-acid industrial wastewater.
