Abstract
A solid-liquid two-phase partitioning bioreactor (TPPB) in which the non-aqueous phase consisted of polymer (HYTREL) beads was used to degrade a model mixture of phenols [phenol, o-cresol, and 4-chlorophenol (4CP)] by a microbial consortium. In one set of experiments, high concentrations (850 mg l(-1) of each of the three substrates) were reduced to sub-inhibitory levels within 45 min by the addition of the polymer beads, followed by inoculation and rapid (8 h) consumption of the total phenolics loading. In a second set of experiments, the beneficial effect of using polymer beads to launch a fermentation inhibited by high substrate concentrations was demonstrated by adding 1,300 and 2,000 mg l(-1) total substrates (equal concentrations of each phenolic) to a pre-inoculated bioreactor. At these levels, no cell growth and no degradation were observed; however, after adding polymer beads to the systems, the ensuing reduced substrate concentrations permitted complete destruction of the target molecules, demonstrating the essential role played by the polymer sequestering phase when applied to systems facing inhibitory substrate concentrations. In addition to establishing alternative modes of TPPB operation, the present work has demo...Continue Reading
