Biotransformation of estrogens in nitrifying activated sludge under aerobic and alternating anoxic/aerobic conditions.

Natural and synthetic estrogens present in municipal wastewater can be biodegraded during treatment, particularly in activated sludge. The objective was to assess the extent of transformation of 17-beta-estradiol (E2) and 17-alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) by nitrifying activated sludge and evaluate potential relationships between availability of oxygen, nitrification rate, and estrogen removal. For each batch experiment, two reactors were set up--aerobic and alternating anoxic/aerobic-which were then amended with E2 and EE2 from methanolic stock solutions. The EE2 was persistent under anoxic conditions; under aerobic conditions, the observed level of its removal was 22%. The E2 was readily converted to estrone (El)--faster under aerobic (nitrifying) than anoxic (denitrifying) conditions. During the initial anoxic conditions, a metabolite consistent with 17-alpha-estradiol transiently accumulated and was subsequently removed when the reactor was aerated. Higher removal rates of estrogens were associated with higher nitrification rates, which supports the contention that the nitrifying biomass was responsible for their removal.     

有机碳源条件下厌氧氨氧化SBBR中的微生物多样性

研究有机碳源对SBBR厌氧氨氧化菌群等微生物的影响。采用16S rDNA序列与PCR-DGGE分析技术相结合的方法,对稳定运行的反应器内的活性污泥和生物膜样品,进行细菌多样性图谱分析,同时采用巢式PCR-DGGE技术对浮霉状菌属(Planctomycetes)细菌进行分析。结果表明,在有机碳源反应系统细菌条带数和多样性指数均高于无机系统,与活性污泥相比,生物膜表尤为明显。当进水不含有机碳源时,氨氧化细菌(ammonia oxidizing bacteria,AOB),厌氧氨氧化菌(anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria,ANAMMOX)为优势功能菌;当进水含有机碳源时,系统中存在的AOB以亚硝化单胞菌(Nitrosomonas sp.)为优势菌群,同时存在反硝化菌,如索氏菌(Thauera sp.)以及厌氧氨氧化菌,它们共同作用完成N的去除。此外,与无机碳源系统相比,有机碳源的存在,有利于浮霉状菌的积累,但压缩了ANAMMOX的生存空间。本研究可为厌氧氨氧化工艺处理低C/N比有机废水提供了理论依据。     

Measuring biomass specific ammonium, nitrite and phosphate uptake rates in aerobic granular sludge

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology offers the possibility to remove organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in a single reactor system. The granular structure is stratified in such a way that both aerobic and anaerobic/anoxic layers are present. Since most of the biological processes in AGS systems occur simultaneously, the measurement and estimation of the capacity of specific conversions is complicated compared to suspended biomass. The determination of the activities of different functional groups in aerobic granular sludge allows for identification of the potential metabolic capacity of the sludge and aids to analyze bioreactor performance. It allows for comparison of different sludges and enables improved understanding of the interaction and competition between different metabolic groups of microorganisms. The most appropriate experimental conditions and methods to determine specific ammonium, nitrite and phosphate uptake rates under normal operation of AGS reactors were evaluated and described in this study. Extra biomass characterization experiments determining the maximum uptake rate of these compounds on optimized conditions were performed as well to see how much spare capacity was available. The methodologies proposed may serve as an experimental frame of reference for investigating the metabolic capacities of microbial functional groups in biofilm processes.

Microbial and kinetic characterization of pure and mixed cultures aerobically degrading 4-nitrophenol

The molecular and kinetic characterization of a microorganism able to aerobically degrade 4-nitrophenol (4NP) is presented. The microorganism was isolated from a mixed culture operating in a laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactor with an aerobic anoxic cycle. It was identified as a member of Ralstonia genus within Betaproteobacteria. It is a gram negative coccobacillum (cell length of 2-3 microm) able to aerobically store lipid inclusions when grown aerobically on nitrophenol as the sole carbon source in the range of tested concentrations (80-320 mg l(-1)). Batch kinetic tests were performed with the pure culture, while the kinetics of the mixed biomass was directly investigated in the reactor. For pure cultures exponential growth was observed, with growth rate values in the range of 2-6 d(-1); in experiments with the mixed cultures 4NP concentrations were correlated with growth using the Haldane equation (k(max) = 0.30 mg 4NP mg(-1) VSSh(-1); K(s) = 55 mg 4NPl(-1) and K(I) = 15 mg 4NPl(-1)). Observed pure culture growth rates were higher than those of mixed cultures. This result can be explained by considering that in mixed culture the biomass is evaluated as volatile suspended solids, including both specialized biomass for 4NP removal and denitrifying bacteria.     

A+OSA污泥减量工艺的微生态特性

采用16S rDNA序列与PCR-DGGE(polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis)分析技术相结合的方法,研究了A+OSA(the anoxic+oxic-settling-anaerobic)污泥减量工艺在不同工况下的减量效果及其微生态特性。结果显示,在自然条件下,A+OSA工艺可有效减少剩余污泥27%左右。分子生物研究表明,解耦联池的插入可以明显改变系统微生物的群落结构,且随着解耦联池水力停留时间的延长,系统中部分微生物被"淘洗",微生物丰富度和多样性指数均有所降低。相似性分析表明,参照系统和A+OSA工艺分属于2个不同的集群,但在A+OSA工艺内部各反应池样品间具有较高的相似性,且各反应池在HRT为5.16 h和7.14 h时,表现为显著相似。通过上述研究可为该工艺优化及调控提供理论指导。     

Fungicide impacts on microbial communities in soils with contrasting management histories

The impacts of the fungicides azoxystrobin, tebuconazole and chlorothalonil on microbial properties were investigated in soils with identical mineralogical composition, but possessing contrasting microbial populations and organic matter contents arising from different management histories. Degradation of all pesticides was fastest in the high OM/biomass soil, with tebuconazole the most persistent compound, and chlorothalonil the most readily degraded. Pesticide sorption distribution coefficient (K(d)) did not differ significantly between the soils. Chlorothalonil had the highest K(d) (97.3) but K(d) for azoxystrobin and tebuconazole were similar (13.9 and 12.4, respectively). None of the fungicides affected microbial biomass in either soil. However, all fungicides significantly reduced dehydrogenase activity to varying extents in the low OM/biomass soil, but not in the high OM/biomass soil. The mineralization of subsequent applications of herbicides, which represents a narrow niche soil process was generally reduced in both soils by azoxystrobin and chlorothalonil. 16S rRNA-PCR denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) indicated that none of the fungicides affected bacterial community structure. 18S rRNA PCR-DGGE analysis revealed that a small number of eukaryote bands were absent in certain fungicide treatments, with each band being specific to a single fungicide-soil combination. Sequencing indicated these represented protozoa and fungi. Impacts on the specific eukaryote DGGE bands showed no relationship to the extent to which pesticides impacted dehydrogenase or catabolism of herbicides.     

Effect of flocculant on microbial populations and function in Chem-Bioflocculation (CBF) treatment process using PCR-DGGE

The group-specific primers were applied to investigate microbial communities in Chem-Bioflocculation (CBF) reactor by PCR-DGGE method. α-proteobacteria, β-proteobacteria, actinomycetes and acidobacterium, were analysed by using diversity index at different dosage of Polyaluminium Ferric Chloride (PAFC) based on DGGE patterns. Clustering analysis showed that community structure of specific bacteria groups changed when flocculant dosage was adjusted, but flocculant dosage had dissimilar effect on the community structure of different bacteria group. α-proteobacteria possibly was the most influential populations relative to biological function in CBF reactor. The biological function should be inhibited when the flocculant dosage exceeded 80 mg/L.     

Predicted distributed state effects on enhanced biological phosphorus removal in a 5-stage Bardenpho wastewater treatment configuration.

Conventional wastewater treatment simulation programs use a "lumped" approach, where process rates are calculated using bulk concentrations of biomass and microbial storage products. A recently developed distributed, or agent-based, approach, where individual bacteria are modeled to account for their potentially variable hydraulic experiences, was applied to the 5-stage Bardenpho process, a type of enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) that includes internal recycle flows, which were hypothesized to affect distributed state development. Consistent with previous results, the EBPR predicted performance was worse according to the distributed approach than the lumped approach. In addition, increasing the internal recycle rate increased the anoxic reactor nitrate concentrations, tending to decrease EBPR performance. However, in the distributed approach, differences in the state distributions in internal recycle-linked reactors decreased with increasing recycle flow, tending to improve EBPR. These phenomena tend to have simultaneous and opposite effects on EBPR. The net effect will depend largely on the specific systems and the nitrate concentration in anoxic reactors.     

Improved computational model (AQUIFAS) for activated sludge, integrated fixed-film activated sludge, and moving-bed biofilm reactor systems, part III: analysis and verification

Research was undertaken to analyze and verify a model that can be applied to activated sludge, integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS), and moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) systems. The model embeds a biofilm model into a multicell activated sludge model. The advantage of such a model is that it eliminates the need to run separate computations for a plant being retrofitted from activated sludge to IFAS or MBBR. The biofilm flux rates for organics, nutrients, and biomass can be computed by two methods-a semi-empirical model of the biofilm that is relatively simpler, or a diffusional model of the biofilm that is computationally intensive. Biofilm support media can be incorporated to the anoxic and aerobic cells, but not the anaerobic cells. The model can be run for steady-state and dynamic simulations. The model was able to predict the changes in nitrification and denitrification at both pilot- and full-scale facilities. The semi-empirical and diffusional models of the biofilm were both used to evaluate the biofilm flux rates for media at different locations. The biofilm diffusional model was used to compute the biofilm thickness and growth, substrate concentrations, volatile suspended solids (VSS) concentration, and fraction of nitrifiers in each layer inside the biofilm. Following calibration, both models provided similar effluent results for reactor mixed liquor VSS and mixed liquor suspended solids and for the effluent organics, nitrogen forms, and phosphorus concentrations. While the semi-empirical model was quicker to run, the diffusional model provided additional information on biofilm thickness, quantity of growth in the biofilm, and substrate profiles inside the biofilm.
