  • Title: Temperature dependent (37-15°C) anaerobic digestion of a trichloroethylene-contaminated wastewater.
    Author: Siggins A, Enright AM, O'Flaherty V.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2011 Sep; 102(17):7645-56. PubMed ID: 21715158.
    Abstract:
    The impact of a trichloroethylene (TCE) contaminated wastewater on the microbial community structure of an anaerobic granular biomass at 15°C compared to 37°C was investigated. Four expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) bioreactors (R1-R4) were employed in pairs at 37 and 15°C. The influents of one of each pair were supplemented with increasing concentrations of TCE (max. 60 mgl(-1)). At 37°C, stable operation was maintained with 88% COD removal and >99% TCE removal at maximum influent TCE concentrations. R3 performance decreased at influent TCE concentration of 60 mgl(-1), although TCE removal rates of >97% were recorded. Archaeal community analysis via clone library and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis, and bacterial community analysis via denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), indicated that temperature resulted in a greater change in community structure than the presence of TCE, and clones related to cold adaptation of biomass were identified at 15°C.
