Complete degradation of polychlorinated hydrocarbons by a two-stage biofilm reactor. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A two-stage anaerobic-aerobic biofilm reactor successfully degraded a mixture of chlorinated organic compounds to water-soluble metabolic intermediates and carbon dioxide. Reductive dechlorination of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), tetrachloroethylene (PCE), and chloroform (CF) occurred on all tested primary carbon sources such as glucose, methanol, and acetate. However, the extent of dechlorination was maximum when the anaerobic biofilm column was fed acetate as a primary carbon source. HCB, PCE, and CF were dechlorinated to the levels of tri- and dichlorinated products (99, 80, and 32%, respectively) with acetate in the feed. This is important, since these less-chlorinated compounds can be metabolized by the aerobic biofilm. The effluent from the anaerobic biofilm column was fed directly into the aerobic column. After both columns, the total amount transformed into nonvolatile intermediates and carbon dioxide was 94, 96, and 83% for [14C]HCB, [14C]trichloroethylene, and [14C]CF, respectively. This research shows the potential application of this novel two-stage bioreactor system for treating groundwaters and industrial effluents composed of highly chlorinated aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. 相似文献

Reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (perchloroethylene; PCE) was observed at 20 degrees C in a fixed-bed column, filled with a mixture (3:1) of anaerobic sediment from the Rhine river and anaerobic granular sludge. In the presence of lactate (1 mM) as an electron donor, 9 microM PCE was dechlorinated to ethene. Ethene was further reduced to ethane. Mass balances demonstrated an almost complete conversion (95 to 98%), with no chlorinated compounds remaining (less than 0.5 micrograms/liter). When the temperature was lowered to 10 degrees C, an adaptation of 2 weeks was necessary to obtain the same performance as at 20 degrees C. Dechlorination by column material to ethene, followed by a slow ethane production, could also be achieved in batch cultures. Ethane was not formed in the presence of bromoethanesulfonic acid, an inhibitor of methanogenesis. The high dechlorination rate (3.7 mumol.l-1.h-1), even at low temperatures and considerable PCE concentrations, together with the absence of chlorinated end products, makes reductive dechlorination an attractive method for removal of PCE in bioremediation processes. 相似文献

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) elicits concentration-dependent and saturable type 1 binding spectra when added to oxidized (Fe3+) cytochrome P-450 (CYT P-450) in control, phenobarbital- (PB) induced, and beta-naphthoflavone- (BNF) induced male Sprague-Dawley rat liver microsomes. The spectral binding constants (Ks) for HCB in control and PB-induced microsomes are 180 microM and 83 microM, respectively, and correlate inversely with the specific content of CYT P-450 (0.9 and 2.1 nmol/mg) in the two microsomal preparations. BNF-induced microsomes show type 1 interaction only at low HCB concentration. Overall biotransformation of HCB, monitored by loss of [14C]HCB from the reaction medium, is dependent on NADPH and intact microsomes. Dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO), a potent hydroxyl radical scavenger and the solvent used for HCB dissolution, does not affect the biotransformation of HCB in aerobic reactions. Pentachlorobenzene (PCB) appears to be the initial and major isolatable CYT P-450 mediated dechlorination product of HCB with NADPH-fortified rat liver microsomes. Trace levels of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and an unidentified metabolite are also observed. PCB formation is enhanced under anaerobic conditions but is inhibited by metyrapone and carbon monoxide. PCB formation is also inhibited with aerobic reaction conditions, while PCP formation is observed. The data indicate that CYT P-450 in hepatic microsomes supports the reductive dechlorination of HCB to PCB. 相似文献

Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE), common industrial solvents, are among the most frequent contaminants found in groundwater supplies. Due to the potential toxicity and carcinogenicity of chlorinated ethylenes, knowledge about their transformation potential is important in evaluating their environmental fate. The results of this study confirm that PCE can be transformed by reductive dehalogenation to TCE, dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride (VC) under anaerobic conditions. In addition, [14C]PCE was at least partially mineralized to CO2. Mineralization of 24% of the PCE occurred in a continuous-flow fixed-film methanogenic column with a liquid detention time of 4 days. TCE was the major intermediate formed, but traces of dichloroethylene isomers and VC were also found. In other column studies under a different set of methanogenic conditions, nearly quantitative conversion of PCE to VC was found. These studies clearly demonstrate that TCE and VC are major intermediates in PCE biotransformation under anaerobic conditions and suggest that potential exists for the complete mineralization of PCE to CO2 in soil and aquifer systems and in biological treatment processes. 相似文献

Microbial degradation of chlorinated phenols 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Jim A. Field Reyes Sierra-Alvarez 《Reviews in Environmental Science and Biotechnology》2008,7(3):211-241
Chlorophenols have been introduced into the environment through their use as biocides and as by-products of chlorine bleaching
in the pulp and paper industry. Chlorophenols are subject to both anaerobic and aerobic metabolism. Under anaerobic conditions,
chlorinated phenols can undergo reductive dechlorination when suitable electron-donating substrates are available. Halorespiring
bacteria are known which can use both low and highly chlorinated congeners of chlorophenol as electron acceptors to support
growth. Many strains of halorespiring bacteria have the capacity to eliminate ortho-chlorines; however only bacteria from the species Desulfitobacterium
hafniense (formerly frappieri) can eliminate para- and meta-chlorines in addition to ortho-chlorines. Once dechlorinated, the phenolic carbon skeletons are completely converted to methane and carbon dioxide by other
anaerobic microorganisms in the environment. Under aerobic conditions, both lower and higher chlorinated phenols can serve
as sole electron and carbon sources supporting growth. The best studied strains utilizing pentachlorophenol belong to the
genera Mycobacterium and Sphingomonas. Two main strategies are used by aerobic bacteria for the degradation of chlorophenols. Lower chlorinated phenols for the
most part are initially attacked by monooxygenases yielding chlorocatechols as the first intermediates. On the other hand,
polychlorinated phenols are converted to chlorohydroquinones as the initial intermediates. Fungi and some bacteria are additionally
known that cometabolize chlorinated phenols. 相似文献

In situ anaerobic bioremediation of chlorinated solvents such as perchloroethene (PCE) frequently faces the problem of accumulating toxic, lower chlorinated compounds such as dichloroethene (cis-DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC). In the present study, the efficacy of the sequential application of electron donors, supporting reductive dechlorination, and of humic acids, acting as extracellular electron shuttles facilitating the anaerobic oxidation of recalcitrant intermediates, was explored in microcosm studies. Upon one initial dose of lactose, supplied in a 1000-fold superstoichiometric electron equivalent ratio, PCE was completely converted into cis-DCE within 35 days. Repeated electron donor additions did not entail exhaustive cis-DCE degradation over incubation time (120 days). Although the electron donor was quickly converted into fatty acids, about 30% of added reducing equivalents were recovered as acetate after four months of operation, indicating the inhibition of acetoclastic methanogenesis. In the next step, the substoichiometric addition of anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate, a humic acid model compound, effected the complete removal of the accumulated cis-DCE within 15 days, probably as a result of the participation of the quinone in the biotic or abiotic anaerobic oxidation of cis-DCE. Cis-DCE degradation was not connected to the accumulation of VC, rendering the proposed two-step treatment an efficient and environmentally compliant remedy for anaerobic groundwater bodies contaminated with chlorinated solvents. 相似文献

Complete degradation of tetrachloroethene by combining anaerobic dechlorinating and aerobic methanotrophic enrichment cultures 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Degradation of tetrachloroethene (perchloroethylene, PCE) was investigated by combining the metabolic abilities of anaerobic
bacteria, capable of reductive dechlorination of PCE, with those of aerobic methanotrophic bacteria, capable of co-metabolic
degradation of the less-chlorinated ethenes formed by reductive dechlorination of PCE. Anaerobic communities reductively dechlorinating
PCE, trichloroethene (TCE) and dichloroethenes were enriched from various sources. The maximum rates of dechlorination observed
for various chloroethenes in these batch enrichments were: PCE to TCE (341 μmol l-1 day-1), TCE to cis-dichloroethene (159 μmol l-1 day-1), cis-dichloroethene to chloroethene (99 μmol l-1 day-1) and trans-dichloroethene to chloroethene (22 μmol l-1 day-1). A mixture of these enrichments was inoculated into an anoxic fixed-bed upflow column. In this column PCE was converted
mainly into cis-1, 2-dichloroethene, small amounts of TCE and chloroethene, and chloride. Enrichments of aerobic methanotrophic bacteria
were grown in an oxic fixed-bed downflow column. Less-chlorinated ethenes, formed in the anoxic column, were further metabolized
in this oxic methanotrophic column. On the basis of analysis of chloride production and the disappearance of chlorinated ethenes
it was demonstrated that complete degradation of PCE was possible by combining these two columns. Operation of the two-column
system under various process conditions indicated that the sensitivity of the methanotrophic bacteria to chlorinated intermediates
represented the bottle-neck in the sequential anoxic/oxic degradation process of PCE.

A two-stage bioreactor has been developed to link dechlorination of halogenated methane compounds to the anaerobic processes
of methanogenesis and denitrification. A digester methanogenic consortium was shown to dechlorinate chloroform (CF) and carbon
tetrachloride (CT) to dichloromethane (DCM), and DCM was then mineralized by an acclimated denitrifying biological activated
carbon consortium. Combining these two processes, a sequential methanogenic-denitrifying bioreactor (SMDB) system that completely
degraded polychlorinated methanes including CT, CF, and DCM was developed. More than 95% of the added CT and CF was dechlorinated
in the methanogenic bioreactor with methanol as the primary substrate, and the resultant DCM was biodegraded in the denitrifying
bioreactor with nitrate as the electron acceptor. In the denitrifying bioreactor, the residual CF was completely removed,
and the DCM removal efficiency was more than 95%. This novel bioreactor system eliminates the need for aeration and so avoids
the air contamination associated with aerobic biotreatment of volatile chlorinated pollutants. This SMDB system provides an
alternative to conventional biotreatment of wastewaters and other matrices contaminated with polychlorinated methanes and
is, to our knowledge, the first report on such a sequential anoxic system.

Aerobic enrichment cultures from contaminated groundwaters dechlorinated trichloroethylene (TCE) (14.6 mg/liter; 111 mumol/liter) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) (16.2 mg/liter; 98 mumol/liter) reductively within 4 days after the transition from aerobic to anaerobic conditions. The transformation products were equimolar amounts of cis-1,2-dichloroethylene and traces of 1,1-dichloroethylene. No other chlorinated product and no methane were detected. The change was accompanied by the release of sulfide, which caused a decrease in the redox potential from 0 to -150 mV. In sterile control experiments, sulfide led to the abiotic formation of traces of 1,1-dichloroethylene without cis-1,2-dichloroethylene production. The reductive dechlorination of PCE via TCE depended on these specific transition conditions after consumption of the electron acceptor oxygen or nitrate. Repeated feeding of TCE or PCE to cultures after the change to anaerobic conditions yielded no further dechlorination. Only aerobic subcultures with an air/liquid ratio of 1:4 maintained dechlorination activities; anaerobic subcultures showed no transformation. Bacteria from noncontaminated sites showed no reduction under the same conditions. 相似文献

"Dehalococcoides ethenogenes" 195 can reductively dechlorinate tetrachloroethene (PCE) completely to ethene (ETH). When PCE-grown strain 195 was transferred (2% [vol/vol] inoculum) into growth medium amended with trichloroethene (TCE), cis-dichloroethene (DCE), 1,1-DCE, or 1,2-dichloroethane (DCA) as an electron acceptor, these chlorinated compounds were consumed at increasing rates over time, which indicated that growth occurred. Moreover, the number of cells increased when TCE, 1,1-DCE, or DCA was present. PCE, TCE, 1,1-DCE, and cis-DCE were converted mainly to vinyl chloride (VC) and then to ETH, while DCA was converted to ca. 99% ETH and 1% VC. cis-DCE was used at lower rates than PCE, TCE, 1,1-DCE, or DCA was used. When PCE-grown cultures were transferred to media containing VC or trans-DCE, products accumulated slowly, and there was no increase in the rate, which indicated that these two compounds did not support growth. When the intermediates in PCE dechlorination by strain 195 were monitored, TCE was detected first, followed by cis-DCE. After a lag, VC, 1,1-DCE, and trans-DCE accumulated, which is consistent with the hypothesis that cis-DCE is the precursor of these compounds. Both cis-DCE and 1,1-DCE were eventually consumed, and both of these compounds could be considered intermediates in PCE dechlorination, whereas the small amount of trans-DCE that was produced persisted. Cultures grown on TCE, 1,1-DCE, or DCA could immediately dechlorinate PCE, which indicated that PCE reductive dehalogenase activity was constitutive when these electron acceptors were used. 相似文献

Tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene, PCE) is a suspected carcinogen and a common groundwater contaminant. Although PCE is highly resistant to aerobic biodegradation, it is subject to reductive dechlorination reactions in a variety of anaerobic habitats. The data presented here clearly establish that axenic cultures of Methanosarcina sp. strain DCM dechlorinate PCE to trichloroethylene and that this is a biological reaction. Growth on methanol, acetate, methylamine, and trimethylamine resulted in PCE dechlorination. The reductive dechlorination of PCE occurred only during methanogenesis, and no dechlorination was noted when CH4 production ceased. There was a clear dependence of the extent of PCE dechlorination on the amount of methanogenic substrate (methanol) consumed. The amount of trichloroethylene formed per millimole of CH4 formed remained essentially constant for a 20-fold range of methanol concentrations and for growth on acetate, methylamine, and trimethylamine. These results suggest that the reducing equivalents for PCE dechlorination are derived from CH4 biosynthesis and that the extent of chloroethylene dechlorination can be enhanced by stimulating methanogenesis. It is proposed that electrons transferred during methanogenesis are diverted to PCE by a reduced electron carrier involved in methane formation. 相似文献

Abstract Perchloroethylene (PCE) was reductively dechlorinated to trichloroethylene in a 10% anaerobic sewage sludge. About 80% of the initially added PCE (300 nmol) was dechlorinated within three weeks. The calculated rates were 250 nM and 445 nM · day−1 during the first and second weeks of incubation, respectively. The depletion of PCE varied in sludges obtained from different sources.
The role of methanogenesis in the dechlorination of PCE was evaluated by inhibiting the methanogens by addition of bromoethane sulfonic acid, a potent methanogenic inhibitor. Dechlorination of PCE was significantly inhibited in sludges amended with the inhibitor. Almost 41–48% less PCE was dechlorinated in sludges containing 5 mM BESA, indicating a relation between the two processes (methanogenesis and dechlorination). Direct proof that methanogens can transform chlorinated aliphatic compounds was obtained using axenic cultures of acetate-cleaving methanogens. Methanosarcina sp , originally isolated from a chlorophenol degrading consortium, showed significantly higher dechlorinating activity as compared to Ms. mazei . Based on these studies and other recently reported observations, it appears that methanogens/methanogenesis play an important role in the anaerobic dechlorination of chlorinated aliphatics such as PCE. 相似文献

Chlorinated benzoates enter the environment through their use as herbicides or as metabolites of other halogenated compounds.
Ample evidence is available indicating biodegradation of chlorinated benzoates to CO2 and chloride in the environment under aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions. Under aerobic conditions, lower chlorinated
benzoates can serve as sole electron and carbon sources supporting growth of a large list of taxonomically diverse bacterial
strains. These bacteria utilize a variety of pathways ranging from those involving an initial degradative attack by dioxygenases
to those initiated by hydrolytic dehalogenases. In addition to monochlorinated benzoates, several bacterial strains have been
isolated that can grow on dichloro-, and trichloro- isomers of chlorobenzoates. Some aerobic bacteria are capable of cometabolizing
chlorinated benzoates with simple primary substrates such as benzoate. Under anaerobic conditions, chlorinated benzoates are
subject to reductive dechlorination when suitable electron-donating substrates are available. Several halorespiring bacteria
are known which can use chlorobenzoates as electron acceptors to support growth. For example, Desulfomonile tiedjei catalyzes the reductive dechlorination of 3-chlorobenzoate to benzoate. The benzoate skeleton is mineralized by other microorganisms
in the anaerobic environment. Various dichloro- and trichlorobenzoates are also known to be dechlorinated in anaerobic sediments. 相似文献

- 1.1. Euglena gracilis SM-ZK (a non-photosynthetic mutant), cultured in Koren-Hutner medium, containing glucose, malate and glutamate as the main nutrients, were incubated anaerobiosis for 24 hr, and then returned to aerobic conditions. Wax esters, which were synthesized from paramylon (the reserved polysaccharide) for ATP generation under anaerobiosis (wax ester fermentation) were promptly degraded immediately after the cells were replenished with sufficient O2. A large part (about 70%) of the decomposed wax esters were converted back to paramylon.
- 2.2. When cells were fed with [1–14C]acetate or [U-14C]acetate immediately after transfer from anaerobic to aerobic conditions, radioactivity incorporated into paramylon in the cells fed with [U-14C]acetate was about 1.5-times as high as that with [1-14C]acetate, proposing that glyoxylate cycle participates in the conversion from wax esters to paramylon.
- 3.3. Paramylon synthesis from [1-14C]acetate was considerably activated by anaerobic preincubation of cells for several hours.
- 4.4. Isocitrate lyase and malate synthase occurred in cells cultured in Koren-Hutner medium, but the activities were obviously lower than those in cells grown on ethanol. These enzymes were not induced by the anaerobic preincubation.

A microscopically pure enrichment culture of a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, in the present article referred to as PER-K23, was isolated from an anaerobic packed-bed column in which tetrachloroethene (PCE) was reductively transformed to ethane via trichloroethene (TCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE), chloroethene, and ethene. PER-K23 catalyzes the dechlorination of PCE via TCE to cis-1,2-DCE and couples this reductive dechlorination to growth. H2 and formate were the only electron donors that supported growth with PCE or TCE as an electron acceptor. The culture did not grow in the absence of PCE or TCE. Neither O2, NO3-, NO2-, SO4(2-), SO3(2-), S2O3(2-), S, nor CO2 could replace PCE or TCE as an electron acceptor with H2 as an electron donor. Also, organic electron acceptors such as acetoin, acetol, dimethyl sulfoxide, fumarate, and trimethylamine N-oxide and chlorinated ethanes, DCEs, and chloroethene were not utilized. PER-K23 was not able to grow fermentatively on any of the organic compounds tested. Transferring the culture to a rich medium revealed that a contaminant was still present. Dechlorination was optimal between pH 6.8 and 7.6 and a temperature of 25 to 35 degrees C. H2 consumption was paralleled by chloride production, PCE degradation, cis-1,2-DCE formation, and growth of PER-K23. Electron balances showed that all electrons derived from H2 or formate consumption were recovered in dechlorination products and biomass. Exponential growth could be achieved only in gently shaken cultures.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Two rapidly growing propionibacteria that could reductively dechlorinate tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cis-DCE) to ethylene were isolated from environmental sediments. Metabolic characterization and partial sequence analysis of
their 16S rRNA genes showed that the new isolates, designated as strains Propionibacterium sp. HK-1 and Propionibacterium sp. HK-3, did not match any known PCE- or cis-DCE-degrading bacteria. Both strains dechlorinated relatively high concentrations of PCE (0.3 mM) and cis-DCE (0.52 mM) under anaerobic conditions without accumulating toxic intermediates during incubation. Cell-free extracts of
both strains catalyzed PCE and cis-DCE dechlorination; degradation was accelerated by the addition of various electron donors. PCE dehalogenase from strain
HK-1 was mediated by a corrinoid protein, since the dehalogenase was inactivated by propyl iodide only after reduction by
titanium citrate. The amounts of chloride ions (0.094 and 0.103 mM) released after PCE (0.026 mM) and cis-DCE (0.05 mM) dehalogenation using the cell-free enzyme extracts of both strains, HK-1 and HK-3, were stoichiometrically
similar (91 and 100%), indicating that PCE and cis-DCE were fully dechlorinated. Radiotracer studies with [1,2-14C] PCE and [1,2-14C] cis-DCE indicated that ethylene was the terminal product; partial conversion to ethylene was observed. Various chlorinated aliphatic
compounds (PCE, trichloroethylene, cis-DCE, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloropropane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane,
and vinyl chloride) were degraded by cell-free extracts of strain HK-1. 相似文献
