Screening and Fermentation Characteristics of PHA Bacteria in Activated Sludge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using sludge at the bottom of Hengshui Lake as samples, and screened out the SJ-9 strain with PHA synthesis capability by enrichment, purification, Nile blue staining, far-infrared spectroscopy and gas qualitative and quantitative analysis. The infrared scanning of SJ-9 bacteria product showed that this product was middle chain PHA. Optimization of SJ-9 fermentation conditions obtained the optimal conditions with optimal carbon source of sodium butyrate, optimal C/N of 35, optimal fermentation time of 120 h, and optimal initial pH for culture substrate of 7.0. 10 L fermenter amplification culture under these conditions showed consistent results with flask culture, and the bacteria and PHA had the highest yields at 120 h, with the maximal yields of 6.81 and 2.36 g/L, respectively.

Some investigations on PHA production using activated sludge as inoculum
This paper indicates that activated sludge under certain conditions can achieve levels of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) accumulation which would enable the economic recovery of this precursor of biodegradable plastics. The effects of C/N ratio and temperature on polyhydroxyalkanoates production were evaluated. Acetate uptake, ammonium consumption, oxygen uptake and PHA production were studied und...
متن کاملEffect of polyhydroxyalkanoates on dark fermentative hydrogen production from waste activated sludge.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), an intracellular energy and carbon storage polymer, can be accumulated in activated sludge in substantial quantities under wastewater dynamic treatment (i.e., substrate feast-famine) conditions. However, its influence on hydrogen production has never been investigated before. This study therefore evaluated the influences of PHA level and composition in waste activat...
متن کاملInfluence of Different Culture Selection Methods on Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production at Short-term Biomass Enrichment
In this study, the potential of four different culture selection methods under short-term enrichment time (STE) to accumulate PHA-producing bacteria in mixed activated sludge was compared and the most efficient culture selection method was introduced. This means, PHA-producing microbial community was firstly enriched in a sequencing batch bioreactor (SBR) with four different selection methods i...
متن کاملBioproduction of Short Chain Fatty Acids in Primary and Excess Sludge Fermentation: Performance and Microbial Community Structures Comparison
The fermentation characteristics of activated biomass from two types of sludge, namely primary sludge (PS) and excess sludge (ES) were compared under three pH conditions (uncontrolled, 4, 10) over a period of 8 days. Results show the highest production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in PS and ES of 352 ± 7 and 324 ± 13 mg COD/g VSS, respectively at pH 10, on the 2 day in PS fermentation, an...
متن کاملDetection of polyhydroxyalkanoate-accumulating bacteria from domestic wastewater treatment plant using highly sensitive PCR primers.
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a class of biodegradable plastics that have great potential applications in the near future. In this study, the micro-biodiversity and productivity of PHA-accumulating bacteria in activated sludge from a domestic wastewater treatment plant were investigated. A previously reported primer set and a selfdesigned primer set (phaCF1BO/phaCR2BO) were both used to amplify...
