Alcohol ethoxylate degradation of activated sludge is enhanced by bioaugmentation with Pseudomonas sp. LZ-B.

Abstract:

:An effective bioaugmentation strategy was developed for the removal of alcohol ethoxylates (AEs) from municipal wastewater. An AE-degrading strain, Pseudomonas sp. LZ-B, was isolated from an activated sludge. Strain LZ-B was able to degrade 96.8% of 200 mg/L C12E4 (Brij 30) within 24 h and showed significant biomass increase and removal of total oxygen concentration (TOC). The optimal degradation temperature and pH value were 37 °C and 6.0, respectively. The strain demonstrated greater potential to degrade five different molecular weight AEs within 5 days. HPLC-MS/MS analysis demonstrated that the major metabolites obtained were polyethylene glycol (PEG) and carboxylated AE chains. Activated sludge has a low ability to remove AEs. After inoculation of strain LZ-B into the activated sludge reactor, Strain LZ-B successfully colonized the activated sludge, and AE removal efficiency increased to more than 95% when the hydraulic retention time (HRT) was 10 h. After strain LZ-B cleaved the AE chains, the sludge microbial communities easily removed PEG fragments to facilitate complete biodegradation of AEs. This is the first report describing bioaugmentation to increase AE degradation in an activated sludge system.
