Aim: The aim of this study was to ascertain the effect of temperature on nutrient uptake ability of four bacterial species. Methodology: A total of four bacterial species (Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas sp., Lysinibacillus sp. and Staphylococcus sp.) were used for the study. The media used for the investigation was synthetic wastewater. Four different temperatures (25ºC, 30ºC, 35ºC and 40ºC) were used for the investigation. The study was carried out under shake flasks conditions. Immediate after inoculation with the respective test bacterial species and every 24 h for a 96 h incubation time, aliquot wastewater samples were removed from the flasks for the estimation of total phosphate, nitrate, pH and growth rate, using standard procedures. Results: The results revealed phosphate and nitrate removal ranges of 10.84 % to 55.55 % and 90.67 % to 97.27 %, respectively in the presence of the Klebsiella sp. In the presence of the Pseudomonas sp, Lysinibacillus sp. and Staphylococcus sp., phosphate removals ranges of 0.36 % to 46.98 %, 11.89 % to 50.80 % and 2.74 % to 51.21 % were observed, respectively. For nitrate concentrations, removal levels that ranged from 2.19 % to 92.95 %, 0.97 % to 23.12 % and 7.56 % to 91.66 % were observed in the presence of Pseudomonas sp, Lysinibacillu ssp. and Staphylococcus sp., respectively. All the test bacterial species showed some measure of efficiency in phosphate removal. For nitrate removal, the Lysinibacillus sp. did not exhibit remarkable nitrate removal ability at any of the temperatures. In addition, the optimum temperatures for phosphate removals were observed to be 30ºC to 40ºC for the Klebsiella sp. and Pseudomonas sp; and 30ºC to 35ºC for the Lysinibacillus sp. and Staphylococcus sp. For nitrate removal, optimum temperatures for removal were observed to be 25ºC to 40ºC, for the Klebsiella sp and 25ºC to 35ºC, for the Pseudomonas sp. and Staphylococcus sp. Conclusion: The study was able to reveal the optimum temperatures for phosphate and nitrate uptake in synthetic wastewater by the test bacterial species.
