Transport and Fate of Ureolytic Sporosarcina pasteurii in Saturated Sand Columns: Experiments and Modelling

چکیده
Abstarct Despite a broad application of ureolytic bacteria in many bioremediation and biocementation processes, very limited studies have reported their transport retention behaviors under various physical–chemical–biological conditions. In this study, we report Sporosarcina pasteurii saturated sand, based on series column breakthrough experiments different conditions including ionic strengths (ISs: 0.5 mM–1 M), flow velocity (50, 100, 200 cm/h), optical density (OD 600 = 1.0, 0.48), length (280 mm, 150 mm), changes IS (0.5 M CaCl 2 or deionised water). We use two-site kinetic model, representing (1) attachment grain surfaces, (2) straining at crevices constrictions, to quantify predict the bacterial straining. Model parameters were calibrated by tracer (NaCl) curves (BTCs) BTCs IS/velocity The model was then applied successfully lower initial 0.48) for shorter lengths (150 mm). demonstrated that higher strength (from 1000 mM) dramatically enhanced efficiency S. through an enhancement 9.4 69.6%) 8.1 34.2%), whilst survival urease activity unaffected high (500 mM NaCl) within 5 h.

microbial calcium carbonate, by bridging sand particles, can play an important role in sand dune stability. a study was carried out on the cementation of sand grains and infilling of pore spaces by caco3. two bacterial species (sporosarcina pasteurii and sporosarcina ureae), three reactant concentrations (0.5, 1 and 1.5m), and six reaction times (12, 24, 48, 96, 192 and 288 hours) were tested i...
متن کاملTransport of sulfadiazine in soil columns: experiments and modelling approaches.
Antibiotics, such as sulfadiazine, reach agricultural soils directly through manure of grazing livestock or indirectly through the spreading of manure or sewage sludge on the field. Knowledge about the fate of antibiotics in soils is crucial for assessing the environmental risk of these compounds, including possible transport to the groundwater. Transport of (14)C-labelled sulfadiazine was inve...
متن کاملDeposition and transport of functionalized carbon nanotubes in water-saturated sand columns.
Knowledge of the fate and transport of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in porous media is crucial to understand their environmental impacts. In this study, laboratory column and modeling experiments were conducted to mechanistically compare the retention and transport of two types of functionalized CNTs (i.e., single-walled nanotubes and multi-walled nanotubes) in acid-cleaned, baked, an...
متن کاملWhole cell kinetics of ureolysis by Sporosarcina pasteurii.
AIMS Ureolysis drives microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). MICP models typically employ simplified urea hydrolysis kinetics that do not account for cell density, pH effect or product inhibition. Here, ureolysis rate studies with whole cells of Sporosarcina pasteurii aimed to determine the relationship between ureolysis rate and concentrations of (i) urea, (ii) cells, (iii...

Using a semi-solid 0.5% agar column, we study the phenomenon of microbially induced mineral (calcium carbonate) by the bacteria Sporosarcina pasteurii. Our platform allows for in-situ visualization of the phenomena, and we found clear evidence of bacterial cell surface facilitating formation of nanoscale crystals. Moreover, in the bulk agar we found the presence of microspheres, which seem to a...
