Anaerobic digestion challenge of raw olive mill wastewater

Olive mill wastewater (OMW) was digested in its original composition (100% v/v) in an anaerobic hybrid. High concentrations (54–55 kg COD m⁻³), acid pH (5.0) and lack of alkalinity and nitrogen are some OMW adverse characteristics. Loads of 8 kg COD m⁻³ d⁻¹ provided 3.7–3.8 m³ biogas m⁻³ d⁻¹ (63–64% CH₄) and 81–82% COD removal. An effluent with basic pH (8.1) and high alkalinity was obtained. A good performance was also observed with weekly load shocks (2.7–4.1, 8.4–10.4 kg COD m⁻³ d⁻¹) by introducing piggery effluent and OMW alternately. Biogas of 3.0–3.4 m³ m⁻³ d⁻¹ (63–69% CH₄) was reached.Developed biomass (350 days) was neither affected by raw OMW nor by organic shocks. Through the effluents complementarity concept, a stable process able of degrading the original OMW alone was obtained. Unlike what is referred, OMW is an energy resource through anaerobiosis without additional expenses to correct it or decrease its concentration/toxicity.

High cell density fed-batch fermentation for the production of a microbial lipase

Extracellular lipase of the yeast Candida rugosa was produced via high cell density fed-batch fermentations using palm oil as the sole source of carbon and energy. Feeding strategies consisted of a pH-stat operation, foaming-dependent control and specific growth rate control in different experiments. Compared to foaming-dependent feeding and the pH-stat operation, the specific growth rate control of feeding proved to be the most successful. At the specific growth rate control set at 0.05 h⁻¹, the final lipase activity in the culture broth was the highest at ∼700 U L⁻¹. This was 2.6-fold higher than the final enzyme activity obtained at a specific growth rate control set at 0.15 h⁻¹. The peak enzyme concentration achieved using the best foaming-dependent control of feeding was around 28% of the peak activity attained using the specific growth rate control of feeding at 0.05 h⁻¹. Similarly, the peak enzyme concentration attained using the pH-stat feeding operation was a mere 9% of the peak activity attained by specific growth rate control of feeding at a set-point of 0.05 h⁻¹. Fed-batch fermentations were performed in a 2 L stirred-tank bioreactor (30 °C, pH 7) with the dissolved oxygen level controlled at 30% of air saturation.     

A test of non‐kin social foraging in the southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans)

It can be challenging to understand the evolution of sociality, particularly the occurrence of co‐operation by non‐kin. Southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans) are an interesting example of non‐kin co‐operation because of the mutual benefits obtained by social thermoregulation during winter. Because group survival confers benefits to the entire group, flying squirrels may also follow an aggregation economy, whereby co‐operative foraging during winter is advantageous. However, the extent of such social foraging in flying squirrels is unknown. We tested for social foraging of southern flying squirrels, and also for relatedness among foraging groups. To determine the structure of foraging groups, we set up and remotely monitored feeding stations and nest cavities. All squirrels at the study site were tagged with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags and nests and feeding stations were monitored with automated PIT‐tag recorders for a 24‐month period. Squirrels were found most often foraging alone. Squirrels that were recorded foraging together comprised unrelated individuals that were also found to share nest cavities. Squirrels were also recorded travelling farther distances between nest cavity and feeding station in the winter season than in the summer season, suggesting that, during winter, squirrels trade‐off proximity to food caches for membership in a nest group. Our data suggest that squirrels forage and cache alone in their summer home range and make solitary returns to this summer range to collect their cache during the winter months, despite exhibiting social winter nesting. © 2014 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2014, 113 , 1126–1135.

Treatment of phenolics containing synthetic wastewater in an internal loop airlift bioreactor (ILALR) using indigenous mixed strain of Pseudomonas sp. under continuous mode of operation

The scope of this study is to evaluate the performance of internal loop airlift bioreactor (ILALR) in treating synthetic wastewater containing phenol and m-cresol, in single and multi component systems. The microbe utilized in the process was an indigenous mixed strain of Pseudomonas sp. isolated from a wastewater treatment plant. The reactor was operated at both lower and higher hydraulic retention times (HRTs) i.e., 4.1 and 8.3 h, respectively, by providing an inlet feed flow rate of 5 and 10 mL/min. Shock loading experiments were also performed up to a maximum concentration of 800 mg/L for phenol at 8.3 h HRT and 500 mg/L for m-cresol at 4.1 h HRT. The study showed complete degradation of both phenol and m-cresol, when they were degraded individually at a HRT of 8.3 h. Experiments with both phenol and m-cresol present as mixtures were performed based on the 2² full factorial design of experiments.
