Kinetics of phenol and m-cresol biodegradation by an indigenous mixed microbial culture isolated from a sewage treatment plant

An acclimatized mixed microbial culture, predominantly Pseudomonas sp., was enriched from a sewage treatment plant, and its potential to simultaneously degrade mixtures of phenol and m-cresol was investigated during its growth in batch shake flasks. A 22 full factorial design with the two substrates at two di erent levels and di erent initial concentration ranges (low and high), was employed to carry out the biodegradation experiments. The substrates phenol and m-cresol were completely utilized within 21 h when present at low concentrations of 100 mg/L for each, and at high concentration of 600 mg/L for each, a maximum time of 187 h was observed for their removal. The biodegradation results also showed that the presence of phenol in low concentration range (100–300 mg/L) did not inhibit m-cresol biodegradation. Whereas the presence of m-cresol inhibited phenol biodegradation by the culture. Moreover, irrespective of the concentrations used, phenol was degraded preferentially and earlier than m-cresol. A sum kinetics model was used to describe the variation in the substrate specific degradation rates, which gave a high coe cient of determination value (R2 > 0.98) at the low concentration range of the substrates. From the estimated interaction parameter values obtained from this model, the inhibitory e ect of phenol on m-cresol degradation by the culture was found to be more pronounced compared to that of m-cresol on phenol. This study showed a good potential of the indigenous mixed culture in degrading mixed substrate of phenolics.     

波茨坦短芽孢杆菌降解间甲酚和4-氯酚的特性

为了高效处理工业含酚废水,研究了波茨坦短芽孢杆菌降解双底物体系过程中间甲酚和4-氯酚的相互作用及苯酚对间甲酚和4-氯酚降解的影响。结果表明,在间甲酚-4-氯酚体系中,4-氯酚会抑制间甲酚的降解,4-氯酚初始质量浓度为40 mg/L时,160 mg/L的间甲酚降解时间延长了8 h;同时间甲酚也抑制4-氯酚的降解,间甲酚初始质量浓度为40 mg/L时,160 mg/L的4-氯酚降解时间延长了4 h。采用Abuhamed动力学方程可以准确描述间甲酚-4-氯酚双底物降解体系中细胞生长的过程,动力学参数I_(1,2)=1.77,I_(2,1)=2.47,决定系数R~2=0.96。拟合参数表明,4-氯酚对间甲酚降解的抑制要强于间甲酚对4-氯酚降解的抑制。酶活测定表明,底物抑制作用增强时苯酚羟化酶和邻苯二酚1,2-双加氧酶的活性降低。添加低质量浓度的苯酚会对间甲酚和4-氯酚的降解产生促进作用,最佳促进质量浓度为200mg/L;添加300 mg/L以上的苯酚会对间甲酚和4-氯酚的降解产生抑制作用,抑制作用随苯酚质量浓度升高而增强。

Biodegradation of phenol and m-cresol by mutated Candida tropicalis

The phenol and m-cresol biodegradations were studied using the mutant strain CTM 2 obtained by the He-Ne laser irradiation on wild-type Candida tropicalis. The results showed that C. tropicalis exhibited the increased capacity of phenolic compounds degradation after laser irradiation. It could degrade 2600 mg/L phenol and 300 mg/L m-cresol by 5% inoculum concentration, respectively. In the dual-substrate biodegradation system, 0–500 mg/L phenol could accelerate m-cresol biodegradation, and 300 mg/L m-cresol could be completely utilized within 46 hr at the presence of 350 mg/L phenol. Besides, the maximum biodegradation of m-cresol could reach 350 mg/L with 80 mg/L phenol within 61 hr. Obviously, phenol, as a growth substrate, could promote CTM 2 to degrade m-cresol, and was always preferentially utilized as carbon source. Comparatively, low-concentration m-cresol could result in a great inhibition on phenol degradation. In addition, the kinetic behaviors of cell growth and substrate biodegradation were described by kinetic model proposed in our laboratory.     

Determination of three cresol isomers in sewage sludge by solid-liquid extraction with low temperature purification and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Abstract

Cresols are chemical contaminants derivative from phenol which can be found in sewage sludge. However, little attention has been given to monitoring these compounds in environmental matrices in the literature. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop a simple method based on solid-liquid extraction with low temperature purification for determining three cresol isomers in sludge. The quantification of these compounds was performed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry with a previous derivatization step. After a detailed study, the cresol recovery was higher than 91%, with relative standard deviation lower than 12% and a limit of quantification of 20?μg kg^?1. Linearity was achieved between 10 and 90?μg L^?1 (R² > 0.98) with the standard solutions prepared in matrix extracts due to the trouble caused by the matrix effect. The proposed method was applied with success for monitoring cresols in sewage sludge samples coming from six different wastewater treatment plants. All samples showed contamination by cresols, mainly p-cresol with values between 32.3 and 516.9?μg kg^?1. The majority of the analyzed samples showed a total sum of the isomers higher than the maximum residue limit established by Brazilian legislation (160?μg kg^?1).
