磷与水中细菌再生长的关系

利用细菌再生长潜力(Bacterial Regrowth Potential,BRP)的微生物分析方法,研究了水中的磷对其生物稳定性的限制因子作用.试验测试水样为经过净水工艺处理后的出水,净水工艺处理的原水取自我国北方某水库.结果表明,在测试水样中添加50pg/L的PO₄^3--P(NaH₂PO₄)后,水样的BRP增加了100%～235%.在水样中添加各种无机盐后得到的BRP同仅添加NaH₂PO₄得到的结果相差不大,而在水样中添加1mg/L的乙酸碳(NaAc)后BRP只增加了30%～40%,大大小于只添加磷的水样,这表明在该水样中磷是细菌生长的限制因子.本试验说明,有效地去除水中的磷可以作为限制饮用水中细菌再生长,提高饮用水生物稳定性的一个重要途径.

Relation Between Phosphorus and Bacterial Regrowth in Drinking Water

In the experiment, a bioassay called Bacterial Regrowth Potential (BRP) was used to investigate the effect of phosphorus on bacterial regrowth in the water sample that was made from some raw water taken from a reservoir located in northern China. It was shown that BRP of water sample increased about 100%-235% when 50 micrograms/L PO4(3-) -P (as NaH2PO4) was added alone. BRP of water sample with various inorganic nutrients (including phosphate) addition had the similar increase compared with BRP of water sample with only 50 micrograms/L PO4(3-) -P addition and BRP of water sample with acetate-C of 1 mg/L addition increased only 30%-40%. These results were clear evidence of phosphorus limitation on bacteria regrowth in the water sample investigated in the experiment. This observation offered novel possibility to restrict microbial regrowth in water distribution system by developing technologies to remove phosphorus efficiently from drinking water.
