Degrading high-strength phenol using aerobic granular sludge 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Kuo-Ling Ho Yu-You Chen Bin Lin Duu-Jong Lee 《Applied microbiology and biotechnology》2010,85(6):2009-2015
Aerobic granules were adopted to degrade high-strength phenol wastewater in batch experiments. The acclimated granules effectively
degraded phenol at a concentration of up to 5,000 mg l−1 without severe inhibitory effects. The biodegradation of phenol by activated sludge was inhibited at phenol concentrations
>3,000 mg l−1. The granules were composed of cells embedded in a compact extracellular matrix. After acid or alkaline pretreatment, the
granules continued to degrade phenol at an acceptable rate. The polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis
technique was employed to monitor the microbial communities of the activated sludge and the aerobic granules following their
being used to treat high concentrations of phenol in batch tests. 相似文献

Versatility of fluorene metabolite (phenol) in fluorene biodegradation by a sulfate reducing culture
Mathava Kumar 《International biodeterioration & biodegradation》2011,65(3):522-526
Biodegradability of fluorene and the versatility of fluorene metabolite (i.e. phenol) in fluorene biodegradation by a sulfate-reducing enrichment culture were investigated. Batch experiments (with 5 mg l−1 fluorene) were designed via the central composite design to examine the effects of sulfate (5-35 mM) and biomass (5-50 mg l−1) concentrations (variables) on fluorene degradation (response). The experimental results revealed that fluorene removal was more influenced by the biomass concentration than the sulfate concentration. The optimal sulfate and biomass concentrations for fluorene biodegradation (90% removal) were found to be 14.4 mM and 37.8 mg l−1, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, a set of biodegradation experiments were repeated to evaluate both the biodegradability of fluorene metabolite and the potential effect of phenol accumulation on fluorene degradation. The outcomes indicated a slow phenol degradation rate, i.e. 0.02 mg l−1 d−1. Moreover, a small reduction in the fluorene biodegradation efficiency was observed in the presence and accumulation of phenol. However, this sulfate reducing culture is a valuable resource for the simultaneous degradation of fluorene and phenol. 相似文献

This study investigated the anaerobic degradation of tetrachlorobisphenol-A (TCBPA) in sediment samples collected at three sites along the Erren River in southern Taiwan. TCBPA anaerobic degradation half-lives (t1/2) in the sediment were 12.6, 16.9 and 21.7 d at concentrations of 50, 100, and 250 ??g g−1, respectively. TCBPA (50 ??g g−1) anaerobic degradation half-lives (t1/2) in the sediment were 10.1, 11.8, 11.0, 11.6, 10.8, 9.1, 8.5, 18.2, 19.3, and 16.1 d by the addition of yeast extract (5 mg l−1), cellulose (0.96 mg l−1), sodium chloride (1%), brij 30 (130 mg l−1), brij 35 (43 mg l−1), rhamnolipid (55 ??M), surfactin (91 ??M), phthalic esters (2 mg l−1), nonylphenol (2 mg l−1), and heavy metals (2 mg l−1), respectively. The degradation rate of TCBPA was enhanced by the addition of yeast extract, cellulose, sodium chloride, brij 30, brij 35, rhamnolipid, or surfactin. However, it was inhibited by the addition of phthalic esters, nonylphenol, or heavy metals. Also noted was the presence of dichlorobisphenol-A and bisphenol-A, two intermediate products resulting from the anaerobic degradation of TCBPA accumulated in the sediments. 相似文献

Biodegradation of two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenanthrene and pyrene, by a white rot fungus, Ganoderma lucidum, in broth cultures was investigated. It was found that the biomass of the organism decreased with the increase of PAH concentration in the cultures. In the cultures with 2 to 50 mg l−1 PAHs, the degradation rate constants (k1) increased with the PAH concentration, whereas, at the level of 100 mg l−1, the degradation rate constants decreased. In the presence of 20 mg l−1 PAHs, the highest degradation rates of both PAHs occurred in cultures with an initial pH of 4.0 at 30 °C. The addition of CuSO4, citric acid, gallic acid, tartaric acid, veratryl alcohol, guaiacol, 2,2′-azino-bis-(3- ethylbenzothazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) enhanced the degradation of both PAHs and laccase activities; whereas the supplement of oxalate, di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), and nonylphenol (NP) decreased the degradation of both PAHs and inhibited laccase production. In conclusion, G. lucidum is a promising white rot fungus to degrade PAHs such as phenanthrene and pyrene in the environment. 相似文献

Aerobic granulation with low strength wastewater at low aeration rate in A/O/A SBR reactor 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The formation of aerobic granules with low organic loading synthetic wastewater (150-200 mg L−1 of influent COD, acetate/propionate = 1/3) at low aeration rate (0.6 cm s−1 of superficial gas velocity) had been investigated in the anaerobic/oxic/anoxic SBR. Aerobic granules with smooth surface and compact structure were successfully obtained after 50 days. However, these aerobic granules were unstable when the d(0.9) of granules increased to more than 1 mm. The results suggested that the aerobic granules with small diameter (smaller than 1000 μm) were more favorable for treating the low substrate loading wastewater at the low aeration rate. The cycle test revealed that most of the influent COD was removed at the anaerobic stage. The effluent concentrations of N-NH4+ and P-PO43− were lower than 1 mg L−1, and the effluent concentration of nitrate gradually decreased with the granulation. Phosphate accumulating organisms were found to utilize O2 or NOx− as electron acceptor for phosphorus removal in the study. Simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal occurred inside the granules. 相似文献

Single-culture aerobic granules with <Emphasis Type="Italic">Acinetobacter calcoaceticus</Emphasis> 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aerobic granules are cultivated by a single bacterial strain, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). This strain presents as a good phenol reducer and an efficient auto coagulator in the
presence of phenol, mediated by heat-sensitive adhesins proteins. Stable 2.3-mm granules were formed in the SBR following
a 7-week cultivation. These granules exhibit excellent settling attributes and degrade phenol efficiently at concentrations
of 250–2,000 mg l−1. The corresponding phenol degradation rate reached 993.6 mg phenol g−1 volatile suspended solids (VSS) day−1 at 250 mg l−1 phenol and 519.3 mg phenol g−1 VSS day−1 at 2,000 mg l−1 phenol concentration. Meanwhile, free A. calcoaceticus cells were fully inhibited at phenol >1,500 mg l−1. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis fingerprint profile demonstrated no genetic modification in the strain during aerobic
granulation. The present single-strain granules showed long-term structural stability and performed high phenol degrading
capacity and high phenol tolerance. The confocal laser scanning microscopic test revealed that live A. calcoaceticus cells principally distributed at 200–250 μm beneath the outer surface, with an extracellular polymeric substance layer covering
them to defend phenol toxicity. Autoaggregation assay tests demonstrated the possibly significant role of secreted proteins
on the formation of single-culture A. calcoaceticus granules. 相似文献

Harvesting biohydrogen from inhibiting wastewaters is of practical interest since the toxicity of compounds in a wastewater stream commonly prevents the bioenergy content being recovered. The isolated Clostridium sp. R1 is utilized to degrade cellobiose in sulfide or nitrite-containing medium for biohydrogen production. The strain can effectively degrade cellobiose free of severe inhibitory effects at up to 200 mg l−1 sulfide or to 5 mg l−1 nitrite, yielding hydrogen at >2.0 mol H2 mol−1 cellobiose. Principal metabolites of cellobiose fermentation are acetate and butyrate, with the concentration of the former increases with increasing sulfide and nitrite concentrations. The isolated strain can yield hydrogen from cellobiose in sulfide-laden wastewaters. However, the present of nitrite significantly limit the efficiency of the biohydrogen harvesting process. 相似文献

The present study investigates the formation of aerobic granular sludge in sequencing batch reactor (SBR) fed with palm oil mill effluent (POME). Stable granules were observed in the reactor with diameters between 2.0 and 4.0 mm at a chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading rate of 2.5 kg COD m−3 d−1. The biomass concentration was 7600 mg L−1 while the sludge volume index (SVI) was 31.3 mL g SS−1 indicating good biomass accumulation in the reactor and good settling properties of granular sludge, respectively. COD and ammonia removals were achieved at a maximum of 91.1% and 97.6%, respectively while color removal averaged at only 38%. This study provides insights on the development and the capabilities of aerobic granular sludge in POME treatment. 相似文献

The polysialic acid (PSA) production in Escherichia coli (E. coli) K1 was studied using three different cultivation strategies. A batch cultivation, a fed-batch cultivation at a constant specific growth rate of 0.25 h−1 and a fed-batch cultivation at a constant glucose concentration of 50 mg l−1 was performed. PSA formation kinetics under different cultivation strategies were analyzed based on the Monod growth model and the Luedeking-Piret equation. The results revealed that PSA formation in E. coli K1 was completely growth associated, the highest specific PSA formation rate (0.0489 g g−1 h−1) was obtained in the batch cultivation. However, comparing biomass and PSA yields on the glucose consumed, both fed-batch cultivations provided higher yields than that of the batch cultivation and acetate formation was prevented. Moreover, PSA yield on glucose was also correlated to the specific growth rate of the cells. The optimal specific growth rate for PSA production was 0.32 h−1 obtained in the fed-batch cultivation at a constant glucose concentration of 50 mg l−1, with highest conversion efficiency of 43 mg g−1. 相似文献

Microbial degradation of phenol was studied using batch and fedbatch cultures of acclimatized activated sludge under a wide range of phenol (0-793 mg l−1) and biomass (0.74-6.7 g l−1) initial concentrations. As cell growth continued after total phenol removal, the production and later consumption of a main metabolic intermediate was considered the step governing the biodegradation kinetics. A model that takes explicitly into account the kinetics of the intermediate was developed by introducing a specific growth rate model associated with its consumption and the incorporation of a dual-substrate inhibitory effect on phenol degradation. Biomass growth and phenol removal were adequately predicted in all the cultures. Moreover, the model-based design of the fedbatch feeding strategies allowed driving separately the phenol degradation under substrate-limitation and substrate-inhibition modes. A sensitivity analysis was also performed in order to establish the importance of the parameters in the accuracy of model predictions. 相似文献

Thirty-six programs have been set up to revegetate the degraded lake wetlands in east China since 2002. Most projects however faced deficiency of submerged macrophyte propagules. To solve the problem, alternative seedling sources must be found besides traditional field collection. This paper deals with an in vitro propagation protocol for two popularly used submerged macrophytes, Myriophyllum spicatum L. and Potamogeton crispus L. Full strength Murashige and Skoog-based liquid media (MS) plus 3% sucrose in addition to 0–2.0 mg l−1 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 0–1.0 mg l−1 indoleacetic acid (IAA) were tried for shoot regeneration. Meanwhile, full, half or quarter strength MS in addition to 0, 0.1 or 0.2 mg l−1 naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) were tested for root induction, respectively. Results indicated that both species had the ability of regeneration from stem fragments in MS without further regulators. However, the addition of 2.0 mg l−1 BA with 0.2 or 1.0 mg l−1 IAA in MS drastically stimulated the regeneration efficiency of M. spicatum, while the addition of 2.0 mg l−1 BA with 0.2 or 0.5 mg l−1 IAA in MS significantly stimulated that of P. crispus. For root induction, full strength MS in combination with 0.1or 0.2 mg l−1 NAA was preferred by M. spicatum, and the same MS without or with 0.1 mg l−1 NAA was preferred by P. crispus. Seedlings of each species produced from tissue culture room had a 100% survival rate on clay, sandy loam or their mixture (1:1) in an artificial pond, and phenotypic plasticity was exhibited when the nutrient levels varied among the three types of sediments. This acclimation of seedlings helped develop the shoot and root systems, which ensured seedling quality and facilitated the transplantation. Our study has established an effective protocol to produce high quality seedlings for lake revegetation programs at a larger scale. Since the two species we tested represent different regeneration performances in nature but shared similar in vitro propagation conditions, this study has indicated a potentially wide use of the common media for preparing seedlings of other submerged macrophytes. 相似文献

Degradation pathway, toxicity and kinetics of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol with different co-substrate by aerobic granules in SBR 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The present study deals with cultivation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) degrading aerobic granules in two SBR systems based on glucose and acetate as co-substrate. Biodegradation of TCP containing wastewater starting from 10 to 360 mg L−1 with more than 90% efficiency was achieved. Sludge volume index decreases as the operation proceeds to stabilize at 35 and 30 mL g−1 while MLVSS increases from 4 to 6.5 and 6.2 g L−1 for R1 (with glucose as co-substrate) and R2 (with sodium acetate as co-substrate), respectively. FTIR, GC and GC/MS spectral studies shows that the biodegradation occurred via chlorocatechol pathway and the cleavage may be at ortho-position. Haldane model for inhibitory substrate was applied to the system and it was observed that glucose fed granules have a high specific degradation rate and efficiency than acetate fed granules. Genotoxicity studies shows that effluent coming from SBRs was non-toxic. 相似文献

In this study, two Membrane Biological Reactors (MBR) with submerged flat membranes, one at lab-scale conditions and the other at pilot-plant conditions, were operated at environmental temperature to treat an industrial wastewater characterised by low phenol concentrations (8-16 mg L−1) and high salinity (∼150-160 mS cm−1). During the operation of both reactors, the phenol loading rate was progressively increased and less than 1 mg phenol L−1 was detected even at very low HRTs (0.5-0.7 days). Membrane fouling was minimized by the cross flow aeration rate inside the MBRs and by intermittent permeation. Microbial community analysis of both reactors revealed that members of the genera Halomonas and Marinobacter (gammaproteobacteria) were major components. Growth-linked phenol degradation by pure cultures of Marinobacter isolates demonstrated that this bacterium played a major role in the removal of phenol from the bioreactors. 相似文献

Denitrifying sulfide removal and carbon methanogenesis in a mesophilic, methanogenic culture 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The inhibitory effects of 90-189 mg l−1 of sulfide and 25-75 mg-N l−1 of nitrate on methanogenesis were investigated in a mixed methanogenic culture using butyrate as carbon source. In the initial phase of 90 mg l−1 S2− test, autotrophic denitrification of nitrate occurred with sulfide as the electron donor. Then the sulfate-reducing strains converted the produced sulfur back to sulfide via heterotrophic oxidation pathway. Methanogenesis was not markedly inhibited when 90 mg l−1 of sulfide was dosed alone. When 25-75 mg-N l−1 of nitrate was presented, initiation of methanogenesis was seriously delayed. Nitrogen oxides (NOx), the intermediates for nitrate reduction via denitrification pathway, inhibited methanogenesis. The 90 mg l−1 of sulfide favored heterotrophic dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia (DNRA) pathway for nitrate reduction. Possible ways of maximizing methane production from an organic carbon-rich wastewater with high levels of sulfide and nitrate were discussed. 相似文献

This study verifies the potential applicability of horizontal-flow anaerobic immobilized biomass (HAIB) reactors to pentachlorophenol (PCP) dechlorination. Two bench-scale HAIB reactors (R1 and R2) were filled with cubic polyurethane foam matrices containing immobilized anaerobic sludge. The reactors were then continuously fed with synthetic wastewater consisting of PCP, glucose, acetic acid, and formic acid as co-substrates for PCP anaerobic degradation. Before being immobilized in polyurethane foam matrices, the biomass was exposed to wastewater containing PCP in reactors fed at a semi-continuous rate of 2.0 μg PCP g−1 VS. The applied PCP loading rate was increased from 0.05 to 2.59 mg PCP l−1 day−1 for R1, and from 0.06 to 4.15 mg PCP l−1 day−1 for R2. The organic loading rates (OLR) were 1.1 and 1.7 kg COD m−3 day−1 at hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 24 h for R1 and 18 h for R2. Under such conditions, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies of up to 98% were achieved in the HAIB reactors. Both reactors exhibited the ability to remove 97% of the loaded PCP. Dichlorophenol (DCP) was the primary chlorophenol detected in the effluent. The adsorption of PCP and metabolites formed during PCP degradation in the packed bed was negligible for PCP removal efficiency. 相似文献

Glaucium flavum Crantz. is found in an anthropized coastal grassland at the joint estuary of the Tinto and Odiel rivers (SW Spain), growing under the influence of high levels of copper contamination derived from nearby petrochemical industries, with no obvious adverse affects on the performance of the plant. In addition, this species exhibits a series of ecological characteristics which may render it appropriate for use in the phytoremediation of contaminated areas. Nonetheless, the response of G. flavum to elevated copper concentrations has not been studied. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of a range of Cu concentrations (0 to 47 mmol l−1) on the growth, reproduction and photosynthetic performance of G. flavum, by measuring relative growth rate, fruit and seed production, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, gas exchange and photosynthetic pigment concentrations. We also determined total copper, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulphur, calcium and magnesium concentrations. G. flavum survived with concentrations of up to 730 mg Cu kg−1 DW in the leaves, when treated with 30 mmol Cu l−1 (2000 mg l−1). Quantum efficiency of PSII, net photosynthesis rate, as well as leaf Ca and Mg concentrations were all negatively affected by Cu concentrations greater than 9 mmol l−1 in the nutrient solution. Our results indicate that the reduction in photosynthetic performance may be attributed to the adverse effect of excess Cu on the photosynthetic apparatus of the plant, both directly, via a decrease in pigment concentrations, and indirectly, via interference of Cu with Ca ions of PSII. Growth and seed production were only slightly affected by leaf tissue concentrations as high as 230 mg Cu kg−1 dry mass, which suggests that this species could play an important role in phytoremediation of Cu-contaminated soils. 相似文献

A locally isolated Acinetobacter sp. Strain AQ5NOL 1 was encapsulated in gellan gum and its ability to degrade phenol was compared with the free cells. Optimal
phenol degradation was achieved at gellan gum concentration of 0.75% (w/v), bead size of 3 mm diameter (estimated surface
area of 28.26 mm2) and bead number of 300 per 100 ml medium. At phenol concentration of 100 mg l−1, both free and immobilized bacteria exhibited similar rates of phenol degradation but at higher phenol concentrations, the
immobilized bacteria exhibited a higher rate of degradation of phenol. The immobilized cells completely degrade phenol within
108, 216 and 240 h at 1,100, 1,500 and 1,900 mg l−1 phenol, respectively, whereas free cells took 240 h to completely degrade phenol at 1,100 mg l−1. However, the free cells were unable to completely degrade phenol at higher concentrations. Overall, the rates of phenol
degradation by both immobilized and free bacteria decreased gradually as the phenol concentration was increased. The immobilized
cells showed no loss in phenol degrading activity after being used repeatedly for 45 cycles of 18 h cycle. However, phenol
degrading activity of the immobilized bacteria experienced 10 and 38% losses after the 46 and 47th cycles, respectively. The
study has shown an increased efficiency of phenol degradation when the cells are encapsulated in gellan gum. 相似文献

A phenol-degrading Penicillium chrysogenum strain previously isolated from a salt mine was able to grow at 1,000 mg l−1 of resorcinol on solid medium. The aerobic degradation of resorcinol by P. chrysogenum CLONA2 was studied in batch cultures in minimal mineral medium with 58.5 g l−1 of sodium chloride using resorcinol as the sole carbon source. The fungal strain showed the ability to degrade up to 250 mg l−1 of resorcinol. Resorcinol and phenol efficiency degradation by P. chrysogenum CLONA2 was compared. This strain removes phenol faster than resorcinol. When phenol and resorcinol were in binary substrate
matrices, phenol enhanced resorcinol degradation, and organic load decreased with respect to the mono substrate matrices.
The acute toxicity of phenol and resorcinol, individually and in combination, to Artemia franciscana larvae has been verified before and after the bioremediation process with P. chrysogenum CLONA2. The remediation process was effective in mono and binary substrate systems. 相似文献

An Enterobacter strain (GY-1) with high activity of decolorization of Reactive Black 5 (RB 5) was isolated from textile wastewater treating sludge. The kinetic characteristics of dye decolorization by the strain GY-1 were determined quantitatively using the diazo dye, RB 5. Effects of different operation parameters (inoculum size, pH, temperature and salinity) and various electron donors on decolorization of the azo dye by GY-1 were systematically investigated to reveal the primary factors that determine the performance of the azo dye decolorization. The decolorization of RB 5 was attributed to extracellular enzymes. A kinetic model was established giving the dependence of decolorization rate on cell mass concentration (first order). Decolorization rate increased with increasing temperature from 20 to 35 °C, which can be predicted by Arrhenius equation with the activation energy (Ea) of 8.50 kcal mol−1 and the frequency factor (A0) of 6.28 × 107 mg l g MLSS−1 h−1. Michaelis-Menten kinetics and Eadie-Hofstee plot were used to determine Vmax, 1.05 mg l−1 h−1 and Km, 24.06 mg l−1. 相似文献

High-strength cresol isomers were treated with phenol-acclimated granules in batch experiments. The aerobic granules effectively
metabolized cresol isomers at concentrations up to 1,500 mg l−1. The modified Haldane kinetic model, used to assess the kinetic behavior during cresol degradation by granule cells, yielded
a high maximum specific growth rate (1.13–1.45 h−1) and inhibition constant (617–952 mg l−1). The microbial community structure, which was stable under cresol stress, was principally composed of genera Bacillus, Acinetobacter, Corynebacterium, and Nocardioides. Enzyme assay results suggest simultaneous expression of ortho- and meta-cleavage pathways during cresol degradation. Under high cresol concentrations, however, cresol isomers were largely degraded
via the meta-cleavage pathway, likely attributable to the activity of Bacillus. The aerobic granular sludge system is a promising biotechnology for degrading wastewater containing high-strength cresols. 相似文献
