Anaerobic tetrachloroethene(C2Cl4)-dechlorinating bacteria were enriched in slurries from chloroethene-contaminated soil. With methanol as electron donor,
C2Cl4 and trichloroethene (C2HCl3) were reductively dechlorinated to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-C2H2Cl2), whereas, with l-lactate or formate, complete dechlorination of C2Cl4 via C2HCl3, cis-C2H2Cl2 and chloroethene (C2H3Cl) to ethene was obtained. In oxic soil slurries with methane as a substrate, complete co-metabolic degradation of cis-C2H2Cl2 was obtained, whereas C2HCl3 was partially degraded. With toluene or phenol both of the above were readily co-metabolized. Complete degradation of C2Cl4 was obtained in sequentially coupled anoxic and oxic chemostats, which were inoculated with the slurry enrichments. Apparent
steady states were obtained at various dilution rates (0.02–0.4 h−1) and influent C2Cl4-concentrations (100–1000 μM). In anoxic chemostats with a mixture␣of␣formate and glucose as the carbon and electron source,
C2Cl4 was transformed at high rates (above␣140 μmol l−1 h−1, corresponding to 145 nmol Cl− min−1 mg protein−1) into cis-C2H2Cl2 and C2H3Cl. Reductive dechlorination was not affected by addition of 5 mM sulphate, but strongly inhibited after addition of 5 mM
nitrate. Our results (high specific dechlorination rates and loss of dechlorination capacity in the absence of C2Cl4) suggest that C2Cl4-dechlorination in the anoxic chemostat was catalysed by specialized dechlorinating bacteria. The partially dechlorinated
intermediates, cis-C2H2Cl2 and C2H3Cl, were further degraded by aerobic phenol-metabolizing bacteria. The maximum capacity for chloroethene (the sum of tri-,
di- and monochloro derivatives removed) degradation in the oxic chemostat was 95 μmol l−1 h−1 (20 nmol min−1 mg protein−1), and that of the combined anoxic → oxic reactor system was 43.4 μmol l−1 h−1. This is significantly higher than reported thus far.

The biodegradation and toxicity of tetrachloroethylene (C2Cl4) and trichloroethylene (C2HCl3) were studied with different anaerobic enrichment cultures using the following electron donors: acetate, propionate, butyrate,
methanol, formate and hydrogen. All of them sustained dechlorination except propionate, for which C2Cl4 biodegradation rates were not significant. The best results were obtained with butyrate. Hydrogen appeared to be a relevant
electron donor for dechlorination with the present cultures. In the presence of specific inhibitors such as bromoethanesulphonate
or molybdate, a slight inhibition of dechlorination was observed. According to dechlorination kinetics, Monod-type behaviour
was observed up to 120 μM C2Cl4 or 200 μM C2HCl3 with K
s values around 7 μM for both compounds. Dechlorination was partially inhibited at higher concentrations. In contrast, methanogens,
or at least methane production, were more sensitive to the presence of chlorinated ethylenes and inhibition of methanogenesis
was observed to different extents over all the C2Cl4/C2HCl3 concentration range tested, even at the lowest concentrations.

In this study, sludge was taken from a municipal wastewater treatment plant that contained a nearly equal number of archaeal
amoA genes (5.70 × 106 ± 3.30 × 105 copies mg sludge−1) to bacterial amoA genes (8.60 × 106 ± 7.64 × 105 copies mg sludge−1) and enriched in three continuous-flow reactors receiving an inorganic medium containing different ammonium concentrations:
2, 10, and 30 mM NH4+–N (28, 140, and 420 mg N l−1). The abundance and communities of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in enriched nitrifying
activated sludge (NAS) were monitored at days 60 and 360 of the operation. Early on, between day 0 and day 60 of reactor operation,
comparative abundance of AOA amoA genes to AOB amoA genes varied among the reactors depending on the ammonium levels found in the reactors. As compared to the seed sludge, the
number of AOA amoA genes was unchanged in the reactor with lower ammonium level (0.06 ± 0.04 mgN l−1), while in the reactors with higher ammonium levels (0.51 ± 0.33 and 0.25 ± 0.10 mgN l−1), the numbers of AOA amoA genes were deteriorated. By day 360, AOA disappeared from the ammonia-oxidizing consortiums in all reactors. The majority
of the AOA sequences from all NASs at each sampling period fell into a single AOA cluster, however, suggesting that the ammonium
did not affect the AOA communities under this operational condition. This result is contradictory to the case of AOB, where
the communities varied significantly among the NASs. AOB with a high affinity for ammonia were present in the reactors with
lower ammonium levels, whereas AOB with a low affinity to ammonia existed in the reactors with higher ammonium levels. 相似文献

Nitrifying granules cultivation in a sequencing batch reactor at a low organics-to-total nitrogen ratio in wastewater 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
It is possible to cultivate aerobic granular sludge at a low organic loading rate and organics-to-total nitrogen (COD/N) ratio
in wastewater in the reactor with typical geometry (height/diameter = 2.1, superficial air velocity = 6 mm/s). The noted nitrification
efficiency was very high (99%). At the highest applied ammonia load (0.3 ± 0.002 mg NH4+–N g total suspended solids (TSS)−1 day−1, COD/N = 1), the dominating oxidized form of nitrogen was nitrite. Despite a constant aeration in the reactor, denitrification
occurred in the structure of granules. Applied molecular techniques allowed the changes in the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria
(AOB) community in granular sludge to be tracked. The major factor influencing AOB number and species composition was ammonia
load. At the ammonia load of 0.3 ± 0.002 mg NH4+–N g TSS−1 day−1, a highly diverse AOB community covering bacteria belonging to both the Nitrosospira and Nitrosomonas genera accounted for ca. 40% of the total bacteria in the biomass. 相似文献

A mixed culture of microorganisms able to utilize 4,6-dinitro-ortho-cresol (DNOC) as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy was isolated from soil contaminated with pesticides and from
activated sludge. DNOC was decomposed aerobically in batch cultures as well as in fixed-bed column reactors. Between 65% and
84% of the substrate nitrogen was released as nitrate into the medium, and 61% of the carbon from uniformly 14C-labelled DNOC was recovered as 14CO2. The mixed microbial culture also decomposed 4-nitrophenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol but not 2,3-dinitrophenol, 2,6-dinitrophenol,
2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid or 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol (Dinoseb). Maximal degradation rates for DNOC by the bacterial biofilm immobilized on glass beads
in fixed-bed column reactors were 30 mmol day−1 (l reactor volume)−1, leaving an effluent concentration of less than 5 μg l−1 DNOC in the outflowing medium. The apparent K
s value of the immobilized mixed culture for DNOC was 17 μM. Degradation was inhibited at DNOC concentrations above 30 μM and
it ceased at 340 μM, possibly because of the uncoupling action of the nitroaromatic compound on the cellular energy-transducing
mechanism.

An extractive membrane bioreactor (EMB) is described that used an undefined anaerobic culture to dechlorinate tetrachloroethene
(C2Cl4) reductively in a synthetic wastewater. Comparable reactors described in the literature use set-ups where the bacteria are
in direct contact with the wastewater, and thus would require the addition of significant quantities of nutrients to the wastewater
stream in practical application. In the EMB, a silicone rubber membrane separates the microbial culture from the wastewater
stream, so that addition of nutrients can be minimised. The EMB was operated continuously for 48 days and dechlorinated 359
mol C2Cl4/(l biomedium−1 day−1) on average. Lactate was fed as an electron donor and C2Cl4 dechlorination was verified by chloride measurements. Particular attention was paid to the reduction of transmembrane C2Cl4 flux caused by a membrane-attached biofilm. Following a start-up period, the reactor operation was stable and remained largely
unaffected by biofilm thickness and oxygen contamination from the wastewater.

Effect of feed composition and upflow velocity on aggregate characteristics in anaerobic upflow reactors 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Two upflow anaerobic hybrid reactors treated lactose and a mixture of ethanol, propionate and butyrate, respectively, at
a volumetric loading rate of 3.7 kg chemical oxygen demand (COD) m−3day−1, a hydraulic retention time of 5 days and a liquid upflow velocity of 0.01 m/h. Under steady-state conditions, the lactose-fed
sludge had much higher (20%–100%) specific methanogenic conversion rates than the volatile-fatty acid␣(VFA)/ethanol-fed sludge
for all substrates tested, including VFA. In both reactors, a flocculant sludge developed, although a much higher content
of extracellular polysaccharide was measured in the lactose-fed sludge [1900 μg compared to 305 μg uronic acid/g volatile
suspended solids (VSS)]. When the liquid upflow velocity of a third, VFA/ethanol-fed reactor was increased to 0.5 m/h, granulation
of the sludge occurred, accompanied by a large increase (200%–500%) in the specific methanogenic conversion rates for the
syntrophic and methanogenic substrates studied. Granulation reduced the susceptibility of the sludge to flotation. Glucose
was degraded at a high rate (100 mg glucose gVSS−1h−1) by the sludge from the third reactor, despite not having been exposed to a sugar-containing influent for 563␣days.

Trichloroethylene degradation and mineralization by pseudomonads and Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To examine the trichloroethylene (C2HCl3)-degrading capability of five microorganisms, the maximum rate, extent, and degree of C2HCl3 mineralization were evaluated for Pseudomonas cepacia G4, Pseudomonas cepacia G4 PR1, Pseudomonas mendocina KR1, Pseudomonas putida F1, and Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b using growth conditions commonly reported in the literature for expression of oxygenases responsible for C2HCl3 degradation. By varying the C2HCl3 concentration from 5 μM to 75 μM, V
max and K
m values for C2HCl3 degradation were calculated as 9 nmol/(min mg protein) and 4 μM for P. cepacia G4, 18 nmol/(min mg protein) and 29 μM for P. cepacia G4 PR1, 20 nmol/(min mg protein) and 10 μM for P. mendocina KR1, and 8 nmol/(min mg protein) and 5 μM for P. putida F1. This is the first report of these Michaelis-Menten parameters for P. mendocina KR1, P. putida F1, and P. cepacia G4 PR1. At 75 μM, the extent of C2HCl3 that was degraded after 6 h of incubation with resting cells was 61%–98%; the highest degradation being achieved by toluene-induced
P. mendocina KR1. The extent of C2HCl3 mineralization in 6 h (as indicated by concentration of chloride ion) was also measured and varied from 36% for toluene-induced
P. putida F1 to 102% for M. trichosporium OB3b. Since C2HCl3 degradation requires new bio-mass, the specific growth rate (μmax) of each of the C2HCl3-degradation microorganisms was determined and varied from 0.080/h (M. trichosporium OB3b) to 0.864/h (P. cepacia G4 PR1).

Efficient nitrification and denitrification of wastewater containing 1,700 mgl−1 of ammonium-nitrogen was achieved using aerobic granular sludge cultivated at medium-to-high organic loading rates. The cultivated
granules were tested in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) fed with 6.4 or 10.2 kg NH4+-N m−3 day−1, a loading significantly higher than that reported in literature. With alternating 2 h oxic and 2 h anoxic operation (OA)
modes, removal rate was 45.5 mg NH4+-N g−1 volatile suspended solids−1 h−1 at 6.4 kg NH4+-N m−3 day−1 loading and 41.3 ± 2.0 at 10.2 kg NH4+-N m−3 day−1 loading. Following the 60 days SBR test, granules were intact. The fluorescence in situ hybridization and confocal laser
scanning microscopy results indicate that the SBR-OA granules have a distribution with nitrifers outside and heterotrophs
outside that can effectively expose functional strains to surrounding substrates at high concentrations with minimal mass
transfer limit. This microbial alignment combined with the smooth granule surface achieved nitrification–denitrification of
wastewaters containing high-strength ammonium using aerobic granules. Conversely, the SBR continuous aeration mode yielded
a distribution with nitrifers outside and heterotrophs inside with an unsatisfactory denitrification rate and floating granules
as gas likely accumulated deep in the granules. 相似文献

The dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) by free-living and attached bacteria under anaerobic conditions was studied to examine the relationship between porous media
and electron donor. Two batch-type experiments, the free-living and attached bacterial systems, were conducted with and without
addition of 0.5-mm glass beads. Glucose and acetate were selected as the primary electron donors because they are easily biodegradable.
Direct epifluorescence technology, the DAPI (4′ 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) method, was used for counting the microbial activities.
Adding glass beads could accelerate the dechlorination rate of CCl4. Removals of 44 %–57 % were observed in free-living bacterial system. Whereas a two- to fivefold increase in the CCl4 dechlorination rate was observed in the attached system. Experimental results and thermodynamic calculations indicated that
glucose is a better supplementary substrate than acetate for stimulating the dechlorinating capability of microorganisms because
of its relatively high available free energy. A higher concentration of substrate provided more reducing power for attached
bacteria to initiate the dechlorination reaction. The pseudo-first-order rate constants of CCl4 dechlorination ranged from 0.007 day−1 to 0.017 day−1 and from 0.011 day−1 to 0.0625 day−1 for free-living and attached bacterial systems respectively. Microscopic observation revealed a three- to eightfold difference
of microbial number between the free-living and attached bacterial systems. On the basis of the results in this study, we
can conclude that the presence of porous media and an electron donor can change the dechlorination capabilities of the microorganisms.
This work will be valuable in the design of in situ bioremediation as it discusses the specific area of the medium and supplementation
with an electron donor to stimulate the indigenous microflora.

We studied in batch reactors the kinetics and characterization of 70 °C, volatile fatty acids (VFAs)-grown, upflow anaerobic
sludge blanket granular sludge with 55 and 35 °C sludge as reference. The half-saturation constant (K
s), the inhibition constant (K
i), the maximum specific methane production rate (μCH4max), and the inhibition response coefficient (n) of the 70 °C sludge were 6.15 mM, 48.2 mM, 0.132 h−1, and 2.48, respectively, while no inhibition occurred at 55 and 35 °C, where the K
s was 3.67 and 3.82 mM, respectively. At 70 °C, the highest initial specific methanogenic activity (ISMA, 0.311 gCH4-COD per gram volatile solids per day) on VFAs was about 12–15% lower than that on acetate and three to four times less than
the ISMA for the 55 and 35 °C sludge. In the acetate conversion study, residual acetate (79 mg l−1) at 70 °C was three to five times higher than that at 55 and 35 °C. Further, the methane produced as percentage of the acetate
consumed at 70 °C (89%) was lower than that at 55 (95%) and 35 °C (97%). At 70 °C, 10% of the ISMA remained after 15 days
of starvation as compared to 26% (55 °C) and 92% (35 °C) after 30 days of starvation. Thus, the kinetics of the 70 °C granular
sludge seem to differ from those at 55 and 35 °C.

Sieved agricultural soil samples were treated with the anti-knock agent tetraethyl lead (Et4Pb), and the resulting effects were analyzed by microcalorimetry. Et4Pb additions resulted in an increase of the heat production rate, provided that oxygen was present and that the soil was not
autoclaved. The increased heat production rate was accompanied by degradation of Et4Pb, as verified by speciation analysis (GC-MS) of the remaining Et4Pb and its ionic degradation products (triethyl lead and diethyl lead cations). Conclusive evidence was obtained that these
transformations were mediated mainly by microbes. At an initial Et4Pb concentration of 2 g Pb/kg dry weight the biodegradation rate was about 780 μmol day−1 kg dry weight−1, whilst the chemical decomposition was only 50 μmol day−1 kg dry weight−1. A fivefold rise of the initial Et4Pb concentration resulted in a decrease of the biodegradation rate to 600 μmol day−1 kg dry weight−1 and an increase of the chemical decomposition to 200 μmol day−1 kg dry weight−1. The biodegradation rate was not influenced by the addition of glucose, which means that no indication for a cometabolic
attack of Et4Pb was found.

Activated sludge with sludge volume index (SVI)30 of 77 ml g−1 and SVI30 of 433 ml g−1 was inoculated to start up reactors R1 and R2, respectively. In both R1 and R2, cycle time of 1 h and the influent chemical
oxygen demand (COD) concentrations of 1,000 mg l−1 were employed. Initial settling time of 2 min resulted in the loss of a substantial amount of biomass as wash-out and high
effluent COD concentrations within the first week of operation. This implied that there was no starvation phase in each cycle
of R1 and R2 during the first week of operation. However, aerobic granules with a size above 400 μm formed by day 7. Thus,
it was concluded that starvation was not a prerequisite for the formation of aerobic granules. When cycle time was 1 h, the
instability of aerobic granules was observed. When cycle time was prolonged to 1.5 h and granular sludge of 200 ml was used
to start up reactor R3, the reactor R3 reached steady state within 1 week. SVI, size, and the morphology of granular sludge
in R3 remained stable during the 47-day operation, which indicated that prolonged starvation time had positive effects on
the stability of aerobic granules. 相似文献

Removal of tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene; C2Cl4) by microbial consortia from two sites with different C2Cl4 exposure histories was examined in a bench-scale anaerobic column bioreactor. It was hypothesized that optimal removal would
be observed in the reactor packed with sediments having an extensive exposure history. Microbial consortia were enriched from
hyporheic-zone (HZ) sediments from the Portneuf aquifer near Pocatello, Idaho, and from industrial-zone (IZ) sediments from
a highly contaminated aquifer in Portland, Oregon. Lactate and acetate were the electron donors during experiments conducted
over 9 and 7 months for HZ and IZ sediments, respectively. In the HZ bioreactor, the retention time ranged from 31 h to 81 h,
and inlet C2Cl4 concentrations ranged from 0.1 ppm to 1.0 ppm. Dechlorination of C2Cl4 averaged 60% and reached a maximum of 78%. An increase in C:N from 27:1 to 500:1 corresponded to an 18% increase in removal
efficiency. Trichloroethylene production corresponded to decreased effluent C2Cl4; further intermediates were not detected. In the IZ bioreactor, the retention time varied from 34 h to 115 h; the inlet C2Cl4 concentration was 1.0 ppm. C2Cl4 removal averaged 70% with a maximum of 98%. Trichloroethylene and cis-dichloroethylene were detected in the effluent. Increases in C:N from 50:1 to 250:1 enhanced dechlorination activity.

Two series of experiments were conducted to determine suitable growth factors for the mass propagation of the local algal
isolate Amphora sp. A higher growth rate of 0.2 doubling (μ) day−1 was attained at a lower photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD; 11.4 μmol photon m−2s−1) compared to cultures exposed to higher levels of PPFD (16.1 μmol photon m−2s−1, −0.1 μ day −1; 31.3 μmol photon m−2s−1, 0.0 μ day−1). Cultures located inside the laboratory had a significantly higher cell density (133 × 104 cells cm−2) and growth rate (0.3 μ day−1) compared to those located outdoors (100 × 104 cells cm−2, 0.2 μ day−1). A comparison of nutrient medium across two locations showed that lipid content was significantly higher in cultures enriched
with F/2MTM (macronutrients + trace metals) and F/2MV (macronutrients + vitamins). Saturated fatty acids were also present
in high concentrations in cultures enriched with F/2M (macronutrients only). Significantly higher amounts of saturated fatty
acids were observed in cultures located outdoors (33.1%) compared to those located indoors (26.6%). The protein, carbohydrates
and n-6 fatty acid content of Amphora sp. were influenced by the location and enrichment of the cultures. This study has identified growth conditions for mass
culture of Amphora sp. and determined biochemical composition under those culture conditions.

Summary The cultivation of photosynthetic microorganisms such as the microalga Spirulina platensis can provide an alternative source of food. The water in Mangueira Lagoon (Rio Grande do Sul state, southern Brazil) has several required nutrients for the growth of Spirulina and could be added to culture medium to reduce the cost of producing S. platensis. Although little studied, repeated batch cultivation is a very useful technique because it has a better cost–benefit ratio than other cultivation methods. In a series of runs, we studied the influence of cell concentration, renewal rate and strain on the specific growth rate and biomass productivity of S. platensis during repeated batch cultivation, the runs taking place in 2-l Erlenmeyer flasks for 2160 h at 30 °C and a light intensity of 2500 lux under a 12 h photoperiod. The three factors studied had a significant (P < 0.05) effect on the results (specific growth rate and productivity). Using Zarrouk’s medium, the highest specific growth rate (μX) was 0.111 day−1 while the biomass productivity (P
X) was 0.0423 g l−1 day−1, while Mangueira Lagoon water supplemented with 10% Zarrouk’s medium gave μX = 0.113 day−1 and a productivity P
X = 0.0467 g l−1 day−1. These values were two to three times higher than the results obtained in batch cultivation, indicating that the repeated batch cultivation of S. platensis is attractive and convenient. 相似文献

The activated sludge process (ASP) has high operational costs due to the need for aeration at dissolved O2 (DO) levels of ≥2 mg l−1 and high capital costs to construct large reactors due to a low organic loading [typically 1 kg chemical oxygen demand (COD) m−3 day−1]. A novel method for improving the energy use and treatment efficiency of the ASP via limited oxygenation (0.4 mg DO l−1) and high organic loading (6.2 kg COD m−3 day−1) is proposed based on a laboratory-scale ASP for ammonia-rich industrial wastewaters. The sludge blanket phenomenon and granulation
occurred simultaneously in the upflow microaerobic reactor. 相似文献

Degradation of indole and quinoline by Desulfobacterium␣indolicum was studied in batch cultures. The first step in the degradation pathway of indole and quinoline was a hydroxylation at the
2 position to oxindole and 2-hydroxyquinoline respectively. These hydroxylation reactions followed saturation kinetics. The
kinetic parameters for indole were an apparent maximum specific transformation rate (V
Amax) of 263 μmol mg total protein−1 day−1 and an apparent half-saturation constant (K
Am) of 139 μM. The V
Amax for quinoline was 170 μmol mg total protein−1 day−1 and K
Am was 92 μM. Oxindole inhibited indole hydroxylation whereas 2-hydroxyquinoline stimulated quinoline hydroxylation. An adaptation
period of approximately 20 days was required before transformation of 2-hydroxyquinoline in cultures previously grown on quinoline.
Indole and quinoline were hydroxylated with a lag phase shorter than 4 h in a culture adapted to ethanol. Chloramphenicol
inhibited the hydroxylation of indole and quinoline in ethanol-adapted cells, indicating an inducible enzyme system. Chloramphenicol
had no effect on the hydroxylation of indole in quinoline-adapted cells or on the hydroxylation of quinoline in indole-adapted
cells. This indicated that it was the same inducible enzyme system that hydroxylated indole and quinoline.

Our previous study showed that an activated-sludge process broke down at the phenol-loading rate of 1.5 g l−1 day−1, when non-flocculating bacteria (called R6T and R10) overgrew the sludge, resulting in a sludge washout. In this study, we
attempted to circumvent this breakdown problem by reclaiming the consortium structure. Activated sludge was fed phenol, and
the phenol-loading rate was increased stepwise from 0.5 g l−1 day−1 to 1.0 g l−1 day−1 and then to 1.5 g l−1 day−1. Either galactose or glucose (at 0.5 g l−1 day−1) was also supplied to the activated sludge from the phenol-loading rate of 1.0 g l−1 day−1. Pure culture experiments have suggested galactose to be a preferential substrate for a floc-forming bacterium (R6F) that
predominantly degrades phenol under low phenol-loading conditions. Supplying galactose allowed sustainment of the R6F population
and suppression of the overgrowth of R6T and R10 at the phenol-loading rate of 1.5 g l−1 day−1. This measure allowed the activated-sludge process to treat phenol at a phenol-loading rate up to 1.5 g l−1 day−1, although it broke down at 2.0 g l−1 day−1. In contrast, supplying glucose reduced the R6F population and allowed the activated-sludge process to break down at the
phenol-loading rate of 1.0 g l−1 day−1. This study demonstrated that reclamation of the activated-sludge consortium by selective biostimulation of the floc-forming
population improved the phenol-treating ability of the process.

A fluidized-bed reactor (FBR) was used to enrich an aerobic chlorophenol-degrading microbial culture. Long-term continuous-flow
operation with low effluent concentrations selected oligotrophic microorganisms producing good-quality effluent for pentachlorophenol(PCP)-contaminated
water. PCP biodegradation kinetics was studied using this FBR enrichment culture. The results from FBR batch experiments were
modeled using a modified Haldane equation, which resulted in the following kinetic constants: q
max = 0.41 mg PCP mg protein−1 day−1, K
S = 16 μg l−1, K
i = 5.3 mg l−1, and n = 3.5. These results show that the culture has a high affinity for PCP but is also inhibited by relatively low PCP concentrations
(above 1.1 mg PCP l−1). This enrichment culture was maintained over 1 year of continuous-flow operation with PCP as the sole source of carbon and
energy. During continuous-flow operation, effluent concentrations below 2 μg l−1 were achieved at 268 min hydraulic retention time (t
HR) and 2.5 mg PCP l−1 feed concentration. An increase in loading rate by decreasing t
HR did not significantly deteriorate the effluent quality until a t
HR decrease from 30 min to 21 min resulted in process failure. Recovery from process failure was slow. Decreasing the feed PCP
concentration and increasing t
HR resulted in an improved process recovery.
