The　feasibility　of　coupling　denitrifying　phosphorus　removal　(DPR)　with　simultaneous　partial　nitrification-endogenous　denitrification　(SPNED)　was　investigated　in　a　single-sludge　sequencing　batch　reactor　for　deep-level　nutrient　removal　from　municipal　and　nitrate　wastewaters.　After　160-day　operation,　the　DPR　process　simultaneously　reduced　most　PO43--P　and　NO3--N　anoxically,　and　the　SPNED　process　achieved　further　total　nitrogen　(TN)　removal　at　low　dissolved　oxygen　condition　with　TN　removal　efficiency　of　90.8%.　The　effluent　NH4+-N,　PO43--P　and　TN　concentrations　were　1.0,　0.1　and　7.2　mg/L,　respectively.　Microbial　analysis　revealed　that　Dechloromonas　(6.7%)　dominated　DPR　process,　whereas　the　gradually　enriched　Nitrosomonas　(4.5%)　and　Candidatus　Competibacter　(6.8%)　conducted　SPNED　process　accompanied　with　sharply　eliminated　Nitrospirae　(1.4%).　Based　on　these　findings,　a　novel　strategy　was　proposed　to　achieve　further　nutrient　removal　in　conventional　treatment　through　integrating　the　DPR-SPNED　process.　As　a　result,　similar　to　100%　of　extra　carbon　and　similar　to　10%　of　oxygen　consumptions　would　be　reduced　with　satisfactory　effluent　quality.
