To choose the reactor format in which to employ a low temperature adapted seed for wastewater treatment, we compared a UASB and an AnMBRUASB (UF)reactor at low HRT and temperature (15 °C).

Polar permanently frozen grounds cover more than 20% of the earth's surface, and about 60% of the Russian territories are permafrost. In the permafrost environments, the combination of low temperature and poor availability of liquid water make these habitats extremely inhospitable for life. To date, both culture-dependent and culture-independent methods have shown that permafrost is a habitat for microorganisms of all three domains: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya. An overview of applying psychrophilic and psychrotolerant bacteria and archaea isolated from Arctic and Antarctic permafrost ecosystems in biotechnological processes of wastewater treatment, production of cold-adapted enzymes, etc. is discussed here. The study of existing collections of microorganisms isolated from permanently cold habitats, improved methods of sampling and enrichment will increase the potential biotechnological applications of permafrost bacteria and archaea producing unique biomolecules.

The activity of denitrifying methanotrophic bacteria at 11–30 °C was assessed in short-term experiments. The aim was to determine the feasibility of applying denitrifying methanotrophic bacteria in low-temperature anaerobic wastewater treatment. This study showed that biomass enriched at 21 °C had an optimum temperature of 20–25 °C and that activity dropped as temperature was increased to 30 °C. Biomass enriched at 30 °C had an optimum temperature of 25–30 °C. These results indicated that biomass from low-temperature inocula adjusted to the enrichment temperature and that low-temperature enrichment is suitable for applications in low-temperature wastewater treatment. Biomass growth at ≤20 °C still needs to be studied.

Chlorine-bleached effluent is problematic for anaerobic wastewater treatment due to its high toxicity against methanogenic bacteria. To date, alternative bleaching processes are being introduced, such as elemental chlorine-free (ECF) and total chlorine-free (TCF). The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of bleaching technologies and different types of feedstock on methanogenic activity. In order to compare the toxicity of the different bleaching sequences per unit of COD, the 50%-inhibitory concentration (50% IC) for methanogenic bacteria of the different bleaching effluents were compared. The results show that there is no direct relationship between the effluentÕs methanogenic toxicity and the bleaching sequences. Methanogenic toxicity ranged from 0.6 to 2.4 g COD/L.

Radiotracer incubation experiments and beta microimaging, along with fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH), are proposed as a complementary approach to specific methanogenic activity testing and measurement of in vitro substrate utilisation rates to understand better the ecophysiology of anaerobic granular biofilms from wastewater treatment reactors.
