Biodegradation of sewage wastewater using autochthonous bacteria.

ABSTRACT: The performance of isolated designed consortia comprising Bacillus pumilus, Brevibacterium sp, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa for the treatment of sewage wastewater in terms of reduction in COD (chemical oxygen demand), BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids), and TSS (total suspended solids) was studied. Different parameters were optimized (inoculum size, agitation, and temperature) to achieve effective results in less period of time. The results obtained indicated that consortium in the ratio of 1?:?2 (effluent : biomass) at 200?rpm, 35°C is capable of effectively reducing the pollutional load of the sewage wastewaters, in terms of COD, BOD, TSS, and MLSS within the desired discharge limits, that is, 32?mg/L, 8?mg/L, 162?mg/L, and 190?mg/L. The use of such specific consortia can overcome the inefficiencies of the conventional biological treatment facilities currently operational in sewage treatment plants.

Biodegradation of cefalexin by two bacteria strains from sewage sludge.

Project description:Bioremediation has been used as an environmentally-friendly, energy-saving and efficient method for removing pollutants. However, there have been very few studies focusing on the specific antibiotic-degrading microorganisms in the activated sludge and their degradation mechanism. Two strains of cefalexin-degrading bacteria (Rhizobium sp. (CLX-2) and Klebsiella sp. (CLX-3)) were isolated from the activated sludge in this study. They were capable of rapidly eliminating over 99% of cefalexin at an initial concentration of 10 mg l-1 within 12 h. The exponential phase of cefalexin degradation happened a little earlier than that of bacterial growth. The first-order kinetic model could elucidate the biodegradation process of cefalexin. The optimized environmental temperature and pH values for rapid biodegradation by these two strains were found to be 30°C and 6.5-7, respectively. Furthermore, two major biodegradation metabolites of CLX-3, 7-amino-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid and 2-hydroxy-3-phenyl pyrazine were identified using UHPLC-MS and the biodegradation pathway of cefalexin was proposed. Overall, the results showed that Rhizobium sp. (CLX-2) and Klebsiella sp. (CLX-3) could possibly be useful resources for antibiotic pollution remediation.

Current recovery from sewage wastewater using electrochemically oxidized graphite felt.

Project description:The oxidation of a carbon anode has been reported to enhance electricity recovery in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). This study investigates the applicability of electrochemically oxidized graphite felt (EOGF) as the anode for the recovery of electricity from sewage wastewater when polarized at 0.2 V during MFC operation. EOGFs were prepared by polarizing graphite felt (GF) at 2 V in 1% sulfuric acid or nitric acid. The nitric acid-treated EOGF inoculated with an sewage sludge produced a maximum current of 110 μA cm-3, which exceeds that produced by the original GF (91 μA cm-3) under electrochemical cultivation at 0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl. This outcome is attributed to a decrease in charge-transfer resistance and an increase in the capacitance of the anode. In contrast, electrochemical oxidation did not affect the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate or the microbial community structure of the anode. The MFC equipped with the EOGF delivered 340-560 mW m-3-MFC of electricity during operation in the drainage water channel of a primary sedimentation tank, which corresponds to 11-15 μA cm-3 of current density. The lower current produced in the MFC compared to that observed during electrochemical cultivation indicates that factors other than the anode material restrict current production in the MFC. Even with the small amount of generated electricity, when operated for more than three days, the MFC provides a positive net energy balance when integrated with post-aeration treatment.

Biodegradation of Phenol by Bacteria Strain Acinetobacter Calcoaceticus PA Isolated from Phenolic Wastewater.

Project description:A phenol-degrading bacterium strain PA was successfully isolated from the effluent of petrochemical wastewater. Based on its morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, the strain PA was characterized as a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, nonmotile and short rod-shaped bacterium that utilizes phenol as a sole carbon and energy source. 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed that this strain is affiliated to Acinetobacter calcoaceticus in the group of Gammaproteobacteria. The strain was efficient in removing 91.6% of the initial 800 mg ∙ L(-1) phenol within 48 h, and had a tolerance of phenol concentration as high as 1700 mg ∙ L(-1). These results indicated that A. calcoaceticus possesses a promising potential in treating phenolic wastewater.

Using autochthonous <i>Bdellovibrio</i> as a predatory bacterium for reduction of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria in urban wastewater and reuse it.

Project description:Background and objectivesThe microbial contamination of wastewater is associated with health risks. The aim of this study was to use the autochthonous Bdellovibrio potential to prey Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria as a bio-control agent to treat urban wastewater.Materials and methodsThirty-six raw sewage samples were collected for isolation of Bdellovibrio. Double layer plaque assay was used for isolation and the isolates were identified by microscopic examination and molecular analysis. To evaluate the predatory potential for decrease number of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, plaque perdition assay, reduction in host cells viability by colony-forming unit (CFU) counting, reduction in optical density (OD) in co-cultures and assay of killing efficiency were carried out. Also, the raw wastewater was treated by Bdellovibrio then the reduction in CFU counting and reduction in OD was evaluated.ResultsFour strains of Bdellovibrio were isolated and were registered in Gene Bank. Clear plaques were observed after 3-6 days of incubation for all prey cells. The CFU enumerations of all preys were decreased after 48 hrs in co-cultures and raw wastewater. Also, OD was decreased down to 0.2 nm after 48 hrs.ConclusionThese autochthonous Bdellovibrio strains are proposed to use for bio-control of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria in wastewater and reuse it for irrigation in arid regions.

Production of forest seedlings using sewage sludge and automated irrigation with ozonated cattle wastewater

Project description:The large volume of effluents generated by intensive cattle production can become an environmental problem, requiring solutions that combine treatment and disposal of reuse water. The quality of cattle wastewater (CWW) treated by ozonation, the water requirement and its effect on the growth of seedlings of Dalbergia nigra cultivated with sewage sludge were determined under different light conditions. The study was carried out in a split plot scheme with 2 shading levels (0%—C1, and 49.4% attenuation—C2) and 3 types of irrigation water (control–T1, 1 h ozonation–T2, and 2 h–T3), with 4 repetitions. Direct sowing was realized into 280 cm3 tubes which were irrigated by drip irrigation with automatic management. The height and collar diameter were measured every 21 days, and at the end of the nursery phase, and the Dickson quality index (DQI) and irrigation water productivity (WPir) were determined. In addition, seedlings were transplanted in a forest restauration area (FRA) of Atlantic Forest, with height and diameter monitoring for 200 days. With ozonation, there was an increase in pH and a reduction in electrical conductivity, total solids and turbidity in the CWW, allowing its use for irrigation of forest seedlings. The maximum volumes of water applied were 2.096 and 1.921 L plant-1, with water supply T2 and T1, respectively, and coverages C1 and C2. In these conditions, the seedlings reached DQI of 0.47 and 0.17, and WPir of 2.35 and 1.48 g L-1, respectively. The initial vegetative growth of the seedlings planted in the FRA was benefited by the nutrients provided by the CWW treated. Therefore, the use of sewage sludge and CWW treated has the potential to produce forest seedlings, reducing the release of waste and effluents into the environment.

Biodegradation of Microtoxic Phenylpropanoids (Phenylpropanoic Acid and Ibuprofen) by Bacteria and the Relevance for Their Removal from Wastewater Treatment Plants.

Project description:The NSAID ibuprofen (2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propanoic acid) and the structurally related 3-phenylpropanoic acid (3PPA), are widely used pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) which enter municipal waste streams but whose relatively low rates of elimination by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are leading to the contamination of aquatic resources. Here, we report the isolation of three bacterial strains from a municipal WWTP, which as a consortium are capable of mineralizing ibuprofen. These were identified as the Pseudomonas citronellolis species, termed RW422, RW423 and RW424, in which the first two of these isolates were shown to contain the catabolic ipf operon responsible for the first steps of ibuprofen mineralization. These ipf genes which are associated with plasmids could, experimentally, only be transferred between other Sphingomonadaceae species, such as from the ibuprofen degrading Sphingopyxis granuli RW412 to the dioxins degrading Rhizorhabdus wittichii RW1, generating RW421, whilst a transfer from the P. citronellolis isolates to R. wittichii RW1 was not observed. RW412 and its derivative, RW421, as well as the two-species consortium RW422/RW424, can also mineralize 3PPA. We show that IpfF can convert 3PPA to 3PPA-CoA; however, the growth of RW412 with 3PPA produces a major intermediate that was identified by NMR to be cinnamic acid. This and the identification of other minor products from 3PPA allows us to propose the major pathway used by RW412 to mineralize 3PPA. Altogether, the findings in this study highlight the importance of ipf genes, horizontal gene transfer, and alternative catabolic pathways in the bacterial populations of WWTPs to eliminate ibuprofen and 3PPA.

Data on treatment of sewage wastewater by electrocoagulation using punched aluminum electrode and characterization of generated sludge.

Project description:The electrocoagulation setup must be optimized in order to design an economically feasible process. Therefore, in this work, the effect of the punched aluminum electrode on the performance of the electrocoagulation (EC) has been investigated. A series of experiments were performed for treatment of sewage wastewater using plane electrode and compare with punched electrodes. Effect of contact time, voltage, electrode spacing and stirring speed has been optimized for removal of Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and Total dissolved solids (TDS). It was observed that the performance of electrocoagulation process increased using punched electrode. Also, the less operating cost noticed in punched electrode as compared to a plane electrode for (70-80%) removal of BOD and TDS. These data would be useful in designing of an EC reactor to obtain high removal efficiency at low energy consumption.

Principal component analysis exploring the association between antibiotic resistance and heavy metal tolerance of plasmid-bearing sewage wastewater bacteria of clinical relevance.

Project description:This paper unravels the occurrence of plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance in association with tolerance to heavy metals among clinically relevant bacteria isolated from sewage wastewater. The bacteria isolated were identified following conventional phenotypic and/or molecular methods, and were subjected to multiple-antibiotic resistance (MAR) profiling. The isolates were tested against the heavy metals Hg2+, Cd2+, Cr2+ and Cu2+. SDS-PAGE and agarose gel electrophoretic analyses were performed, respectively, for the characterization of heavy metal stress protein and R-plasmid among the isolated bacteria. Principal component analysis was applied in determining bacterial resistance to antibiotics and heavy metals. Both lactose-fermenting ( Escherichia coli ) and non-fermenting ( Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas putida ) Gram-negative bacterial strains were procured, and showed MAR phenotypes with respect to three or more antibiotics, along with resistance to the heavy metals Hg2+, Cd2+, Cr2+ and Cu2+. The Gram-positive bacteria, Enterococcus faecalis , isolated had 'ampicillin-kanamycin-nalidixic acid' resistance. The bacterial isolates had MAR indices of 0.3-0.9, indicating their ( E. faecalis , E. coli , A. baumannii and P. putida ) origin from niches with high antibiotic pollution and human faecal contamination. The Gram-negative bacteria isolated contained a single plasmid (≈54 kb) conferring multiple antibiotic resistance, which was linked to heavy metal tolerance; the SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated the expression of heavy metal stress proteins (≈59 and ≈10 kDa) in wastewater bacteria with a Cd2+ stressor. The study results grant an insight into the co-occurrence of antibiotic resistance and heavy metal tolerance among clinically relevant bacteria in sewage wastewater, prompting an intense health impact over antibiotic usage.
