Disc shaped microbial aggregates enriched in Ruminococcaceae and lactic acid bacteria produced caproic from solid-free thin stillage.
Abstract BACKGROUND Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a promising approach for removing nitrogen from landfill leachates and other nitrogen‐laden wastewater. Although heavy metals, which are known their microbial toxicity, commonly present in those wastewater streams information on inhibitory impact anammox activity still limited. The main aim of this study to investigate the effects six common metal ions (Cu 2+ , Cd Ni Zn Pb molybdate) activity. RESULTS soluble concentrations...
A key step toward energy-positive sewage treatment is the development of mainstream partial nitritation/anammox, a nitrogen removal technology where aerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AerAOB) are desired, while nitrite-oxidizing (NOB) not. To suppress NOB, novel return-sludge was investigated. Single and combined effects sulfide (0-600 mg S L-1), anaerobic starvation (0-8 days), free ammonia (FA) shock (30 FA-N L-1 for 1 h) were tested immediate long-term recovery. AerAOB NOB inhibited...
Abstract Chain elongation is a microbial process in which an electron donor, such as ethanol, used to elongate short chain carboxylic acids, acetic acid, medium acids. This metabolism has been extensively investigated, but the spread and differentiation of elongators environment remains unexplored. Here, elongating communities were enriched from several inocula (3 anaerobic digesters, 2 animal faeces 1 caproic acid producing environment) using ethanol substrates at pH 7 5.5. approach showed...
ABSTRACT The anaerobic oxidation of ammonium (anammox) uses nitrite as terminal electron acceptor. can cause inhibition to the bacteria that catalyze anammox reaction. literature shows a great divergence on levels NO 2 − causing inhibition. Moreover, conditions influencing resistance inhibitory effect are not well understood. This work investigated pH and concentration activity metabolism granular sludge under different physiological conditions. Batch tests in range values were carried out...
