Denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) were considered two alternative pathways of dissimilatory nitrate reduction. In this study, we firstly reported that both denitrification and DNRA occurred in Pseudomonas alcaliphila strain MBR with an electrode as the sole electron donor in a double chamber bio‐electrochemical system (BES). The initial concentration of nitrate appeared as a factor determining the type of nitrate reduction with electrode as the sole electron donor at the same potential (?500 mV). As the initial concentration of nitrate increased, the fraction of nitrate reduced through denitrification also increased. While nitrite (1.38 ± 0.04 mM) was used as electron acceptor instead of nitrate, the electrons recovery via DNRA and denitrification were 43.06 ± 1.02% and 50.51 ± 1.37%, respectively. The electrochemical activities and surface topography of the working electrode catalyzed by strain MBR were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and scanning electron microscopy. The results suggested that cells of strain MBR were adhered to the electrode, playing the role of electron transfer media for nitrate and nitrite reduction. Thus, for the first time, the results that DNRA and denitrification occurred simultaneously were confirmed by powering the strain with electricity. The study further expanded the range of metabolic reactions and had potential value for the recognization of dissimilatory nitrate reduction in various ecosystems. Biotechnol.

Electric prompting and control of denitrification 总被引:35,自引:0,他引:35
The effectiveness of a denitrification process which is driven and controlled by an electric current is demonstrated. Denitrifying microorganisms were immobilized on a carbon electrode and hydrogen was produced through the electrolysis of water. The hydrogen was utilized for the reduction of nitrate to N(2). The denitrification rate was a linear function of the electric current, and it was shown that about 1 mol of electron reduces 0.2 mol of nitrate to N(2) gas. These results exhibit that the proposed process is simple and feasible, especially for the treatment of low-strength nitrate solutions. (c) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Enrichments with [Fe(II)EDTA]2- as electron donor and nitrate or nitrite as electron acceptor were established using an inoculum from a bioreactor performing denitrification. A nitrate-reducing, [Fe(II)EDTA]2- oxidizing strain was isolated and named strain BDN-1. The G + C content of strain BDN-1 was 67%, and the organism was closely affiliated to Paracoccus denitrificans, P. pantotrophus and P. versutus by 16S rRNA sequence comparison. Results from DNA-DNA hybridization, rep-PCR, and whole cell protein analysis gave congruent results confirming the genotypic and phenotypic differences between strain BDN-1 and the other species of Paracoccus. From these results, we considered strain BDN-1 as a novel species for which we propose the name Paracoccus ferrooxidans. Apart from [Fe(II)EDTA]2-, BDN-1 could also use thiosulfate and thiocyanate as inorganic electron donors. Nitrate, nitrite, N2O, [Fe(II)EDTA.NO]2- and oxygen could be used by strain BDN-1 as electron acceptors. Repeated transfer on a culture medium with bicarbonate as the sole carbon source confirmed that strain BDN-1 was a facultative autotroph. [Fe(II)EDTA]2- oxidation dependent denitrification was also performed by other Paracoccus species, that were closely affiliated to P. ferrooxidans. 相似文献

In this work, a novel sensing scaffold, consisting Au nanoparticle (GNP)-dotted TiO(2) nanotubes (TNTs) as the rigid material and the hydrophobic ionic liquid (HIL), 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, as the entrapping agent, was applied to facilitate the electron transfer of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on a glassy carbon electrode. GNPs were immobilised on the TNTs in our work using a one-step reduction of HAuCl(4)·3H(2)O by sodium borohydride in the presence of sodium citrate as a stabilising reagent. The morphology and composition of the as-synthesised composite materials were characterised by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry of HRP at the modified electrode presented a pair of reproducible, quasi-reversible redox peaks with a peak-to-peak separation of 69 mV, indicating electron transfer between HRP and composite electrode. The GNP-TNT|HIL|HRP electrode was then applied to the detection of H(2)O(2) in a pH 7.0 phosphate buffer using chronoamperometry. The biosensor exhibited a linear response in the 15-750 μM range, and a limit of detection of 2.2 μM. The biosensor also exhibited stability with 90% of the detection signal retained over a two-week duration. 相似文献

Electrochemically active bacteria were successfully enriched in an electrochemical cell using a positively poised working electrode. The positively poised working electrode (+0.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl) was used as an electron acceptor for enrichment and growth of electrochemically active bacteria. When activated sludge and synthetic wastewater were fed to the electrochemical cell, a gradual increase in amperometric current was observed. After a period of time in which the amperometric current was stabilized (generally 8 days), linear correlations between the amperometric signals from the electrochemical cell and added BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) concentrations were established. Cyclic voltammetry of the enriched electrode also showed prominent electrochemical activity. When the enriched electrodes were examined with electron microscopy and confocal scanning laser microscopy, a biofilm on the enriched electrode surface and bacterium-like particles were observed. These experimental results indicate that the electrochemical system in this study is a useful tool for the enrichment of an electrochemically active bacterial consortium and could be used as a novel microbial biosensor. 相似文献

A facile wet-chemical method was developed to prepare a novel Pt nanoparticle-loaded carbon nanofiber (Pt/CNF) electrode. Without using any stabilizer or pretreatment procedure, large amounts of Pt nanoparticles could be well deposited on the surface of the electrospun CNF electrode at room temperature, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of the precursor concentration on the formation of Pt catalysts was investigated to optimize the performance of the proposed hybrid electrode. When applied to the electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide (H?O?), the Pt/CNF electrode exhibited low overpotential, fast response and high sensitivity. A low detection limit of 0.6 μM with wide linear range of 1-800 μM (R=0.9991) was achieved at the Pt/CNF electrode, which was superior to that obtained with other H?O? electrochemical sensors reported previously. In addition, the Pt/CNF electrode showed good selectivity for H?O? detection in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA), acetaminophenol (AP) and uric acid (UA) under physiological pH condition. The attractive analytical performances and facile preparation method made this novel hybrid electrode promising for the development of effective H?O? sensors. 相似文献

Autotrophic denitrification coupled with sulfide oxidation represents an interesting alternative for the simultaneous removal of nitrate/nitrite and sulfide from wastewaters. The applicability of such bioprocess is especially advantageous for the post treatment of effluents from anaerobic reactors, since they usually produce sulfides, which can be used as endogenous electron donor for autotrophic denitrification. This study evaluated the effect of sulfide concentration on this bioprocess using nitrate and nitrite as electron acceptors in vertical fixed-bed reactors. The results showed that intermediary sulfur compounds were mainly produced when excess of electron donor was applied, which was more evident when nitrate was used. Visual evidences suggested that elemental sulfur was the intermediary compound produced. There was also evidence that the elemental sulfur previously formed was being used when sulfide was applied in stoichiometric concentration relative to nitrate/nitrite. Nitrite was more readily consumed than nitrate. For both electron acceptors and sulfide concentrations tested, autotrophic denitrification was not affected by residual heterotrophic denitrification via endogenic activity, occurring as a minor additional nitrogen removal process. 相似文献

A simple denitrification bioreactor for nitrate-containing wastewater without organic compounds was developed. This bioreactor consisted of packed gel envelopes in a single tank. Each envelope comprised two plates of gels containing Paracoccus denitrificans cells with an internal space between the plates. As an electron donor for denitrification, ethanol was injected into the internal space and not directly into the wastewater. P. denitrificans cells in the gel reduced nitrate to nitrogen gas by using the injected ethanol. Nitrate-containing desulfurization wastewater derived from a coal-fired thermal power plant was continuously treated with 20 packed gel envelopes (size, 1,000 x 900 x 12 mm; surface area, 1.44 m(2)) in a reactor tank (volume 1.5 m(3)). When the total nitrogen concentration in the inflow was around 150 mg-N x L(-1), the envelopes removed approximately 60-80% of the total nitrogen, and the maximum nitrogen removal rate was 5.0 g-N x day(-1) per square meter of the gel surface. This value corresponded to the volumetric nitrogen removal performance of 0.109 kg-N x m(-3) x day(-1). In each envelope, a high utilization efficiency of the electron donor was attained, although more than the double amount of the electron donor was empirically injected in the present activated sludge system to achieve denitrification when compared with the theoretical value. The bioreactor using the envelopes would be extremely effective as an additional denitrification system because these envelopes can be easily installed in the vacant spaces of preinstalled water treatment systems, without requiring additional facilities for removing surplus ethanol and sludge. 相似文献

In this research, we reported a novel method of forming hemoglobin (Hb)-linoleic acid (LA) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayer by spreading Hb solution directly onto the subphase covered with a layer of LA. This method is suitable for preparing electrochemical devices with protein-lipid LB film because almost no protein adsorbed on electrode surface before protein-lipid film transferred from air-water interface to electrode, which ensured better electrode activity. The compressibility of Hb-LA monolayer was used to character the phase transition during compression process. Optimal experimental conditions were obtained by analyzing pressure-time, pressure-area and pressure-compressibility curves. The direct electrochemistry of Hb, which was immobilized on Au electrode surface incorporated with LA layer by LB method, was investigated using cyclic voltammetry for the first time. The electrode modified with Hb-LA LB film holds high electrochemical activity and shows a fast direct electron transfer of Hb. Redox peak currents increased linearly with the increase of scan rate, indicating a surface-controlled electrode process. The electron transfer rate constant was 2.68+/-0.45 s-1. As a target of this research, this work provides a new way to prepare biomimetic film and biosensor. 相似文献

An amperometric sequence-specific molecularly imprinted single-stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ss-ODN) biosensor was fabricated and characterised in this study. Using ss-ODN as the template and o-phenylenediamine as the functional monomer, the ODN biosensor was fabricated by an electropolymerisation process on an indium-tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate. The template ss-ODN was washed out of the ss-ODN/poly(o-phenylenediamine)(PoPD)/ITO electrode using sterilised basic ethanol-water. The resulting ss-ODN imprinted PoPD/ITO electrode was characterised using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The amperometric responses, i.e., Δi as a function of the target ss-ODN concentration was studied. The biosensor using ss-ODN imprinted PoPD/ITO as the working electrode showed a linear Δ current response to the target ss-ODN concentration within the range of 0.01-300 fM. The biosensor showed a sensitivity of 0.62 μA/fM, with a response time of 14s. The present novel molecularly imprinted ss-ODN biosensor could greatly benefit in terms of cost-effectiveness, storage stability, ultra sensitivity and selectivity together with the potential for improved commercial genetic sensors. 相似文献

A laboratory-scale Bardenpho process was established to investigate the proper nitrogen loading rate (NLR) when modified spent caustic (MSC) is applied as electron donor and alkalinity source for denitrification. MSC injection induced autotrophic nitrogen removal with sulfur as electron donor and heterotrophic denitrification. The nitrogen removal rate (NRR) did not increase proportionally to NLR. Based on the total nitrogen concentration in the effluent observed in the trials with MSC, the NLR in the influent should not exceed 0.15 kg N/m3 d in order to satisfy water quality regulations. Microbial communities in the anoxic reactors were characterized by pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene sequences amplified by the polymerase chain reaction of DNA extracted from sludge samples. Microbial diversity was lower as MSC dosage was increased, and the injection of MSC caused an increase in SOB belonging to the genus Thiobacillus which is responsible for denitrification using sulfur. 相似文献

Tin (IV) oxide was made using an anodization and annealing method and was used as a working electrode in an electrochemical cofactor regeneration reaction. This material was formed with a large surface area, and by changing the preparation conditions, it was possible to control the morphology. Tin oxide has redox properties similar to those of frequently used mediators required for electron transfer between cofactors and an electrode. Therefore, by using tin oxide as a novel electrode, mediator-free electrochemical cofactor regeneration may be possible. Oxidation and reduction of the nicotinamide cofactors, NAD(P)H and NAD(P)+, were carried out under various reaction conditions. The results showed a high efficiency for oxidizing NADH over a broad range of pH and temperatures. The oxidation tendency of NADPH was also observed, and it demonstrated a similar reaction tendency as NADH. When using a tin oxide electrode, NAD+ was readily reduced to NADH, though the efficiency of this reaction was lower than for NADH oxidation. Oxidation of 2-propanol to acetone was used as a model system using alcohol dehydrogenase and the cofactor regeneration system suggested in this study. The electroenzymatic reaction showed efficient regeneration of NADP+ without a mediator. 相似文献

A novel protocol for development of DNA electrochemical biosensor based on thionine-graphene nanocomposite modified gold electrode was presented. The thionine-graphene nanocomposite layer with highly conductive property was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. An amino-substituted oligonucleotide probe was covalently grafted onto the surface of the thionine-graphene nanocomposite by the cross-linker glutaraldehyde. The hybridization reaction on the modified electrode was monitored by differential pulse voltammetry analysis using an electroactive intercalator daunomycin as the indicator. Under optimum conditions, the proposed biosensor exhibited high sensitivity and low detection limit for detecting complementary oligonucleotide. The complementary oligonucleotide could be quantified in a wide range of 1.0 × 10(-12) to 1.0 × 10(-7)M with a good linearity (R(2)=0.9976) and a low detection limit of 1.26 × 10(-13)M (S/N=3). In addition, the biosensor was highly selective to discriminate one-base or two-base mismatched sequences. 相似文献

To improve denitrification performance and effective degradation of organic pollutants from micro-polluted groundwater simultaneously, a novel three-dimensional (3D) bio-electrochemical reactor was developed, which introduced activated carbon into a traditional two-dimensional (2D) reactor as the third electrode. The static and dynamic characteristics of the reactor were investigated with special attentions paid to the performance comparison of these two reactors. In the 3D reactor both TOC and nitrate removal efficiency were greatly improved, and the formation of nitrite byproduct is considerably reduced, comparing with that of the 2D reactor. The role of activated carbon biofilm was explored and possible remediation mechanisms for the 2D and 3D reactors were suggested. In such a 3D reactor, the denitrification rate improved greatly to 0.288 mg NO3–N/cm2/d and the current efficiency could reach as high as 285%. Further, it demonstrated good performance stably against variable conditions, indicating very promising in application for groundwater remediation. 相似文献

Influence of reactive media composition and chemical oxygen demand as methanol on autotrophic sulfur denitrification 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sulfur-utilizing autotrophic denitrification relies on an inorganic carbon source to reduce the nitrate by producing sulfuric acid as an end product and can be used for the treatment of wastewaters containing high levels of nitrates. In this study, sulfur-denitrifying bacteria were used in anoxic batch tests with sulfur as the electron donor and nitrate as the electron acceptor. Various medium components were tested under different conditions. Sulfur denitrification can drop the medium pH by producing acid, thus stopping the process half way. To control this mechanism, a 2:1 ratio of sulfur to oyster shell powder was used. Oyster shell powder addition to a sulfurdenitrifying reactor completely removed the nitrate. Using 50, 100, and 200 g of sulfur particles, reaction rate constants of 5.33, 6.29, and 7.96 mg(1/2)/l(1/2)·h were obtained, respectively; and using 200 g of sulfur particles showed the highest nitrate removal rates. For different sulfur particle sizes ranging from small (0.85-2.0 mm), medium (2.0-4.0 mm), and large (4.0-4.75 mm), reaction rate constants of 31.56, 10.88, and 6.23 mg(1/2)/l(1/2)·h were calculated. The fastest nitrate removal rate was observed for the smallest particle size. Addition of chemical oxygen demand (COD), methanol as the external carbon source, with the autotrophic denitrification in sufficiently alkaline conditions, created a balance between heterotrophic denitrification (which raises the pH) and sulfur-utilizing autotrophic denitrification, which lowers the pH. 相似文献

好氧反硝化微生物学机理与应用研究进展 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
近年来,关于好氧反硝化过程的研究主要集中在三个方面:分别是好氧反硝化菌株的分离和脱氮性能表征,好氧反硝化微生物的应用潜力分析,以及好氧反硝化过程的机理研究。好氧反硝化菌株分布范围广泛,可从多种环境中分离得到,种属以Pseudomonas sp.、Alcaligenes sp.和Paracoccus sp.为主。好氧反硝化菌株及菌群在实验室条件下表现出优良的耐冷、耐盐特性,并具有可降解毒性有机物及N_2O减排的潜力。关于好氧反硝化过程的机理研究表明,虽然硝酸盐作为电子受体的竞争力比氧气弱,但反硝化作为辅助电子传递途径,可提高产能效率,防止NAD(P)H的过量积累。因此,硝酸盐可与氧气同时参与微生物的新陈代谢,即发生好氧反硝化现象。未来除了继续分离更新更好的好氧反硝化菌株外,应加强对好氧反硝化机理及实际生物强化方面的研究。 相似文献

Experimental studies were conducted to determine the feasibility of autotrophic denitrification with Thiobacillus denitrificans as a nitrate removal process for wastewater. S0-acclimated activated sludge, which can carry out autotrophic denitrification using S0 as electron donors, was prepared by the fill and draw cultivation method. The kinetic constants for the S0-denitrification reaction using S0-acclimated activated sludge under NO3-N limiting growth conditions were determined to be Y = 0.33 mg-NO3-N and b = 0.058 d−1. High percentages of denitrification (over 95%) and rates of denitrification ranging from 0.19 to 0.24 mg-NO3-N/mg-TOC·d were obtained in the continuous denitrification experiments using S0-acclimated activated sludge. 相似文献

AIMS: To develop a laboratory-scale autotrophic membrane-immobilized biofilm reactor to remove nitrogen from drinking water. METHODS AND RESULTS: A polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) immobilized biofilm, attached to the surface of a silicone tube, was used as the basis of a bioreactor for simultaneous nitrification and denitrification of water. The bioreactor was aerated with air to supply oxygen for nitrification. Pure hydrogen was supplied to the silicone tube and diffused through the membrane wall to feed the biofilm for autotrophic denitrification. The bioreactor was effective for the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification of water after a short period of acclimation, while the biofilm exhibited good resistance to the inhibition of denitrification by dissolved oxygen; the denitrification rate decreased by only 8% as the dissolved oxygen increased from 2 mg l(-1) to saturation. CONCLUSIONS: By using PVA crosslinked with sodium nitrate to entrap nitrifying and denitrifying sludge on the surface of a silicone tube, a novel bioreactor for simultaneous nitrification and denitrification was developed. In addition to performing as an immobilizing agent to strengthen the biofilm, PVA protected the denitrifying microorganisms to reduce the inhibition by dissolved oxygen under aerobic condition. Therefore, nitrification and denitrification occurred simultaneously within the biofilm. Furthermore, the immobilization technique shortened the acclimation period of the bioreactor. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The described space saving and simple to operate bioreactor for nitrogen removal performed autotrophic denitrification to solve the problem of residual carbon in heterotrophic denitrification, and thus is suitable for removing nitrogen from drinking water. 相似文献

In this research article, a novel, selective, and sensitive modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) using CdS quantum dots (QDs) is presented. The highly stable CdS QDs were successfully synthesized in an in situ process using Na2S2O3 as a precursor and thioglycolic acid as a catalyst and capping agent. The synthesis of CdS QDs was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The synthesized CdS QDs were used for preparation of a modified carbon paste electrode (CdS/CPE). The electrochemical behavior of the electrode toward p-aminophenol (PAP) and acetaminophen (Ac) was studied, and the results demonstrated that the CdS/CPE exhibited good electrocatalytic performance toward PAP and Ac oxidation. The oxidation peak potential of each analyte in the mixture was well separated. As a result, a selective and reliable method was developed for the determination of PAP and Ac simultaneously without any chemical separations. Application of the fabricated electrode for monitoring the process of Ac preparation from PAP was investigated. The obtained results show that CdS/CPE has satisfactory analytical performance; it could be a kind of attractive and promising nanomaterial-based sensor for process monitoring via the electrochemical approach. 相似文献
