The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of using marine sponge Hymeniacidon perleve to remove total organic carbon (TOC) in integrated aquaculture ecosystems. In sterilized natural seawater (SNSW) with different concentrations of TOC, H. perleve removed approximately 44-61% TOC during 24 h, with retention rates of ca. 0.19-1.06 mg/h .g-fresh sponge, however no particulate selectivity was observed. The highest initial TOC concentration, in which about 2.7 g fresh sponges could remove TOC effectively in 0.5-L SNSW, is 214.3-256.9 mg/L. The highest capacity of TOC removal and clearance rate (CR) by H. perleve is ca. 25.50 mg-TOC/g-fresh sponge and 7.64 mL/h . g-fresh sponge within 24 h, respectively. Until reaching the highest TOC removal capacity, the TOC removal capacity and clearance rate of H. perleve increased with initial TOC concentration, and dropped dramatically thereafter. After reaching the highest removal capacity, H. perleve could only remove relatively lower TOC concentration in seawater in subsequent run. The TOC removal kinetics in SNSW by H. perleve fitted very well with a S-shaped curve and a Logistic model equation (R(2) = 0.999). In different volumes of SNSW with a fixed initial TOC concentration, the weight/volume ratio of sponge biomass and SFNSW was optimized at 1.46 g-fresh sponge/1-L SNSW to achieve the maximum TOC removal. When co-cultured with marine fish Fugu rubripes for 15 days, H. perleve removed TOC excreted by F. rubripes with similar retention rates of ca. 0.15 mg/h . g-fresh sponge, and the sponge biomass increased by 22.8%. 相似文献

The potential and limitations of photosynthetic oxygenation on carbon and nitrogen removal from swine slurry were investigated in batch experiments using Chlorella sorokiniana and an acclimated activated sludge as model microorganisms. While algal-bacterial systems exhibited similar performance than aerated activated sludge in tests supplied with four and eight times diluted slurry, a severe inhibition of the biodegradation process was recorded in undiluted and two times diluted wastewater. Daily pH adjustment to 7 in enclosed algal-bacterial tests at several swine slurry dilutions allowed the treatment of up to two times diluted slurries (containing up to 1,180 mg N-NH(4) (+) l(-1)). The combination of high pH levels and high NH(4) (+) concentrations was thus identified as the main inhibitory factor governing the efficiency of photosynthetically oxygenated processes treating swine slurry. Measurements of soluble total organic carbon (TOC) and volatile fatty acids (VFA) present in the slurry suggested that VFA degradation (mainly acetic and propionic acid) accounted for most of the soluble TOC removal, especially during the initial stages of the biodegradation process. On the other hand, assimilation into biomass and nitrification to NO(2) (-) constituted the main NH(4) (+) removal processes in enclosed algal-bacterial systems. 相似文献

The hydrolysis and fermentation of insoluble cellulose (Avicel) by continuous cultures of Ruminococcus albus 7 was studied. An anaerobic continuous culture apparatus was designed which permitted gas collection, continuous feeding, and wasting at different retention times. The operation of the apparatus was controlled by a personal computer. Cellulose destruction ranged from ca. 30 to 70% for hydraulic retention times of 0.5 to 2.0 days. Carbon recovery in products was 92 to 97%, and the oxidation-reduction ratios ranged from 0.91 to 1.15. The total product yield (biomass not included) per gram of cellulose (expressed as glucose) was 0.83 g g−1, and the ethanol yield was 0.41 g g−1. The product yield was constant, indicating that product formation was growth linked. 相似文献

Summary The tetrazolium salt, 2-(p-iodophenyl)-3-(p-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl tetrazolium chloride (INT) was used to determine viable respiring cells in batch cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Respiring cells reduce INT to water insoluble iodonitrotetrazolium formazan (INT-formazan) which is deposited within the respiring cell. The INT-formazan granules can be observed by brightfield microscopy. This allows a rapid quantitative determination of the percentage of respiring cells and total cells within the same microscopic field.In actively growing batch cultures of S. cerevisiae, the respiring cell count was equal to the total cell count for the first 72 h of the growth cycle. After 144 h of incubation only 22.7% of the total cell numbers were actively respiring. 相似文献

In this study, the biodegradation of fractionated corn stover in solid-state fermentation by Trichoderma reesei YG3 was investigated. Fractions of miscellaneous cells (MC) and fasciculi (FC) tissue from leaf, shell or core were separated
using the combined pretreatment method of carding classification after steam explosion. The highest enzyme activities including
the filter paper activity, endoglucanase, exoglucanase and β-glucosidase activities, weight loss rate of dry material and biodegradation rate were all observed in the MC tissue fraction
from the leaf, which was more nutritious, while lowest activity was observed in the FC tissue fraction from the shell. The
maximum filter paper activity and weight loss rate of the dry material were 4.56 and 1.89 times the minimum and the cellulose
and hemicellulose biodegradation rates were 51.22 and 39.38% versus 23.85 and 26.51%, respectively. These variances maybe
attributed to the heterogeneity of the component in the fractions. A higher weight loss rate corresponded to higher enzymatic
activities, whereas cellulose biodegradation was not proportional to cellulase activities. Hemicellulose biodegradation was
much slower than cellulose degradation. Here, we demonstrated the importance of fractionation in component biodegradation
and utilization of straw. 相似文献

Treatment of a gas contaminated with a mixture of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-xylene (BTEX) compounds in a 40-cm-deep laboratory-scale bioreactor containing suspended biomass was investigated. Gas treatment efficiency was not significantly impacted by different BTEX mixtures, and approximately 99% removal was achieved for volumetric loadings of 11 to 18 mg-BTEX/L-reactor volume/hr (specific biomass loadings of 0.27 to 0.83 g-BTEX/g-VSS/d; inlet concentrations of total BTEX of 2.3 to 4.3 mg/L) and operational solids retention times (SRTs) of 1.7, 2.7, and 9.2 days. Maximum specific biodegradation rates of the reactor biomass increased as the reactor SRTs decreased. Under specific loadings greater than 1 g-BTEX/g-VSS/d the gas treatment became biokinetically limited, such that BTEX and unidentified BTEX metabolites accumulated in the bioreactor liquid over time. BTEX gas-liquid mass transfer was sufficient in the 40-cm-deep sparged liquid reactor to provide high BTEX treatment efficiency. 相似文献

Aerobic biological treatment was conducted for the treatment of high strength olive oil mill wastewater (OMW). Two different approaches were used for kinetic modeling of OMW biodegradation. TOC removal and CO2–C evolution were monitored in an open and a closed bioreactor systems, respectively. Gompertz, Refractory organics plus first-order (RFO) and Chen–Hashimoto equations were applied to estimate the kinetic parameters by using the data from bioreactors. Furthermore, change in oxidation stage of carbon was monitored and temperature dependency of OMW biodegradation was investigated based on activation energy. At room temperature, 64% of TOC was removed in the open bioreactor while cumulative CO2–C evolution was 6.32 g L−1 in closed the bioreactor. Higher biodegradation efficiency and kinetic parameters were obtained at 25 °C rather than 10 °C. Gompertz and RFO equations provided better fitting with CO2–C and TOC data, respectively. Experimental and kinetic estimations indicated that OMW constituted of approximately 30% refractory organics. The comparison of two different modeling approaches showed that kinetic modeling based on CO2–C provided better correlation with the experimental data. Temperature coefficient indicated that biological degradation of OMW is slightly dependent on temperature. 相似文献

A hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor was used to separate trichloroethylene (TCE) from a gaseous waste stream with subsequent cometabolic biodegradation by a pure culture of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b PP358. The two-stage bioreactor system was successfully operated for 20 days. PP358 was grown in a continuous-flow chemostat and circulated through the fiber lumen of a hollow-fiber membrane module (HFMM), while TCE contaminated air (141 to 191 microg/L) was pumped through the HFMM shell. Between 54% -84% TCE transfer and 92%-96% TCE cometabolism were obtained in the HFMM reactor loop. Short shell-residence times, 1.6 to 5.0 minutes, demonstrated quick throughput of TCE contaminated air. Best-fit computer modeling of the biological experiments estimated mass transfer coefficients between 2.0 x 10(-3) cm/min and 5.6 x 10(-3) cm/min. The average pseudo-first-order biodegradation rate constant for the biological experiments was 0.46 L/mg TSS/d. These results demonstrate that the hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor represents an attractive technology for the bioremediation of gaseous waste streams. 相似文献

A fixed-film (biofilm) reactor was designed and its performance was determined at various retention times. The goal was to find the optimal retention time for recycling plant nutrients in an advanced life support system, to minimize the size, mass, and volume (hold-up) of a production model. The prototype reactor was tested with aqueous leachate from wheat crop residue at 24, 12, 6, and 3 h hydraulic retention times (HRTs). Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nitrates and other plant nutrients, carbohydrates, total phenolics, and microbial counts were monitored to characterize reactor performance. BOD removal decreased significantly from 92% at the 24 h HRT to 73% at 3 h. Removal of phenolics was 62% at the 24 h retention time, but 37% at 3 h. Dissolved oxygen concentrations, nitric acid consumption, and calcium and magnesium removals were also affected by HRT. Carbohydrate removals, carbon dioxide (CO2) productions, denitrification, potassium concentrations, and microbial counts were not affected by different retention times. A 6 h HRT will be used in future studies to determine the suitability of the bioreactor effluent for hydroponic plant production. 相似文献

A model continuous flow bioreactor (volume 0.5 L) was constructed for removing toxic soluble selenium (selenate/selenite) of high concentrations using a selenate-reducing bacterium, Bacillus sp. SF-1, which transforms selenate into elemental selenium via selenite for anaerobic respiration. Model wastewater contained 41.8 mg-Se/L selenate and excess lactate as the carbon and energy source; the bioreactor was operated as an anoxic, completely mixed chemostat with cell retention time between 2.2-95.2 h. At short cell retention times selenate was removed by the bioreactor, but accumulation of selenite was observed. At long cell retention times soluble selenium, both selenate and selenite, was successfully reduced into nontoxic elemental selenium. A simple mathematical model is proposed to evaluate Se reduction ability of strain SF-1. First-order kinetic constants for selenate and selenite reduction were estimated to be 2.9 x 10(-11) L/cells/h and 5.5 x 10(-13) L/cells/h, respectively. The yield of the bacterial cells by selenate reduction was estimated to be 2.2 x 10(9) cells/mg-Se. 相似文献

Hybrid process of BAC and sMBR for treating polluted raw water 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The hybrid process of biological activated carbon (BAC) and submerged membrane bioreactor (sMBR) was evaluated for the drinking water treatment from polluted raw water, with the respective hydraulic retention time of 0.5 h. The results confirmed the synergetic effects between the BAC and the subsequent sMBR. A moderate amount of ammonium (54.5%) was decreased in the BAC; while the total removal efficiency was increased to 89.8% after the further treatment by the sMBR. In the hybrid process, adsorption of granular activated carbon (in BAC), two stages of biodegradation (in BAC and sMBR), and separation by the membrane (in sMBR) jointly contributed to the removal of organic matter. As a result, the hybrid process managed to eliminate influent DOC, UV254, CODMn, TOC, BDOC and AOC by 26.3%, 29.9%, 22.8%, 27.8%, 57.2% and 49.3%, respectively. Due to the pre-treatment effect of BAC, the membrane fouling in the downstream sMBR was substantially mitigated. 相似文献

The influence of the inclusion of xylan in a medium for enumeration of total culturable rumen bacteria was investigated. Maximum colony numbers were obtained on a medium, GCSX-2, which contained 0.033% each glucose and cellobiose and 0.067% each soluble starch and xylan. This medium gave higher colony counts than either medium 98-5 of Bryant and Robinson (J. Dairy Sci. 44:1446-1456, 1961), medium 98-5 of Chung and Hungate (Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 32:649-652, 1976), containing an added lucerne (hemicellulose + cellulose) fiber substrate, or medium GCSX-2 with the added lucerne (hemicellulose + cellulose) fraction. The time of collection of rumen fluid influenced the colony counts on the media containing the lucerne fiber substrate but was without effect on medium GCSX-2. 相似文献

Immobilized liposome-bound cellulase (ILC) was optimally prepared for the ILC-catalyzed hydrolysis of insoluble cellulose in an external loop airlift bioreactor. The liposomes with mean diameters of 200, 100, and 50 nm were used to prepare three kinds of ILCs, i.e., ILC(200), ILC(100) and ILC(50), respectively. The activity and stability of ILC(100) were examined with soluble cellulose (CMC) in addition to the insoluble substrate of cellulose powder (CC31) in a shaking flask as well as the airlift bioreactors. The experiments were carried out with 45 degrees C and pH 4.8 being found to be optimal for the activity. The activity of ILC(100) was stable in either airlift or shaking flask bioreactor during the five times repeated hydrolyses of CC31 corresponding to a total reaction time of 240 h. This confirmed that the cellulase molecules were covalently bonded to the liposomes covalently bound to the chitosan gel beads. Nevertheless, the activity of ILC(100) with CMC steadily decreased throughout the repeated reactions, suggesting an adverse effect of CMC on the ILC(100) activity. Among the three ILCs, ILC(50) was found to be the most stable and productive biocatalyst during the repeated hydrolyses of insoluble CC31 in the airlift bioreactor. More than 70% of the initial activity of ILC(50) was retained even after the six times repeated reactions for 288 h. Conversely, the ILC(200) was found to be the most unstable catalyst. Such a difference in stability among these ILCs was suggested to be caused by the difference in physical stability of their liposome membranes to the liquid shear stress due to the rising bubbles and circulating liquid as well as that in the amount of the cellulase molecules unstably incorporated in the membranes. ILC(50) was thus shown to have the most potential for an efficient hydrolysis of insoluble cellulose in a practical airlift bioreactor. 相似文献

Anaerobic biodegradation of fermented spent sulphite liquor, SSL, which is produced during the manufacture of sulphite pulp, was investigated. SSL contains a high concentration of lignin products in addition to hemicellulose and has a very high COD load (173 g COD l(-1)). Batch experiments with diluted SSL and pretreated SSL indicated a potential of 12-22 l methane per litre SSL, which corresponds to 0.13-0.22 l methane (g VS)(-1) and COD removal of up to 37%. COD removal in a mesophilic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket, UASB. reactor ranged from 10% to 31% at an organic loading rate, OLR, of 10-51 g (1 d)(-1) and hydraulic retention time from 3.7 to 1.5 days. The biogas productivity was 3 1 (l(reactor d)(-1), with a yield of 0.05 l gas (g VS)(-1). These results suggest that anaerobic digestion in UASB reactors may provide a new alternative for the treatment of SSL to other treatment strategies such as incineration. Although the total COD reduction achieved is limited, bioenergy is produced and readily biodegradable matter is removed causing less load on post-treatment installations. 相似文献

Kluyveromyces marxianus UCD (FST) 55-82 cells were immobilized in Na alginate beads and used in a packed-bed bioreactor system for the continuous production of ethanol from the extract of Jerusalem artichoke tubers. Volumetric ethanol productivities of 104 and 80 g ethanol/ L/h were obtained at 80 and 92% sugar utilization, respectively. The maximum volumetric ethanol productivity of the immobilized cell bioreactor system was found to be 15 times higher than that of an ordinary-stirred-tank (CST) bioreactor using cells of K. marxianus. The immobilized cell bioreactor system was operated continuously at a constant dilution rate of 0.66 h(-1) for 12 days resulting in only an 8% loss of the original immobilized cell activity, which corresponds to an estimated half-life of ca. 72 days. The maximum specific ethanol productivity and maximum specific sugar uptake rate of the immobilized cells were found to be 0.55 g ethanol/g/biomass/h and 1.21 g sugars/g biomass/h, respectively. 相似文献

A potential method to improve biomass distribution and the stability of vapor-phase bioreactors is to operate them in a directionally switching mode such that the contaminant air stream direction is periodically reversed through the reactor. In this study, the effect of switching frequency (SF) on bioreactor performance and biodegradation activity was investigated at 1-, 3- and 7-day SFs using toluene as a model compound. Rapid losses of biodegradation capacity and serious bioreactor instability were observed in the bioreactor operated at a 1-day SF. It is hypothesized that the frequent dynamic loading conditions at the 1-day SF hindered biofilm development and ultimately bioreactor stability. In contrast, bioreactors operated at the 3- and 7-day SFs achieved overall removal efficiencies of greater than 99% for 72 and 59 days of operation, respectively. Following each air-stream reversal, the bioreactor operated at the 7-day SF required 48 h to fully restore biodegradation capacity in the inlet bioreactor section. The 1-day SF bioreactor required no such reacclimation period. The toluene-degrading activity in the inlet section of the 7-day SF bioreactor dropped by 71% during the 7-day cycle, whereas it decreased by only 11% in the inlet of the 3-day SF bioreactor. These declines suggest that continuous or near-continuous exposure to toluene can inhibit microbial activity. Of the three SFs examined, the 3-day SF yielded the most efficient bioreactor performance by balancing reacclimation requirements with biodegradation activity losses. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to develop simple and fast tests to predict anaerobic biogasification potential (ABP) of ingestates and digestates from a biogas plant. Forty-six samples of both ingestates and digestates were collected within an eight-month observation period and were analyzed in terms of biological and chemical parameters, namely, ABP test, oxygen demand in a 20-h respirometric test (OD20), total solids (TS), volatile solids (VS), total organic carbon (TOC), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), ammonia, cell solubles (CS), acid detergent fibers (ADF), lignin (ADL), cellulose, and hemicellulose.

A facultative Staphylococcus arlettae bacterium, isolated from an activated sludge process in a textile industry, was able to successfully decolourize four different azo dyes under microaerophilic conditions (decolourization percentage >97%). Further aeration of the decolourized effluent was performed to promote oxidation of the degradation products. The degradation products were characterized by FT-IR and UV–vis techniques and their toxicity with respect to Daphnia magna was measured. The amine concentrations as well as the total organic carbon (TOC) levels were monitored during the biodegradation process. The presence of aromatic amine in the microaerophilic stage and its absence in the aerobic stage indicated the presence of azoreductase activity and an oxidative biodegradation process, respectively. TOC reduction was ~15% in the microaerophilic stage and ~70% in the aerobic stage. The results provided evidence that, using a single Staphylococcus arlettae strain in the same bioreactor, the sequential microaerophilic/aerobic stages were able to form aromatic amines by reductive break-down of the azo bond and to oxidize them into non-toxic metabolites. 相似文献
