Palm Oil Mill

The biodegradation characteristics of palm oil mill effluent (POME) and the related microbial community were studied in both actual sequential anaerobic ponds in Malaysia and enrichment cultures. The significant degradation of the POME was observed in the second pond, in which the temperature was 35–37 °C. In this pond, biodegradation of major long chain fatty acids (LCFA), such as palmitic acid (C16:0) and oleic acid (C18:1), was also confirmed. The enrichment culture experiment was conducted with different feeding substrates, i.e. POME, C16:0 and C18:1, at 35 °C. Good recovery of methane indicated biodegradation of feeds in the POME and C16:0 enrichments. The methane production rate of the C18:1 enrichment was slower than other substrates and inhibition of methanogenesis was frequently observed. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analyses indicated the existence of LCFA-degrading bacteria, such as the genus Syntrophus and Syntorophomonas, in all enrichment cultures operated at 35 °C. Anaerobic degradation of the POME under mesophilic conditions was stably processed as compared with thermophilic conditions.

Methanogenic Consortium

2-Methylbenzoic has been detected as a metabolite in anaerobic consortia that degrade m-cresol and it was found to accumulate in cultures incubated under methanogenic conditions. This study was initiated to determine whether 2-methylbenzoic acid could be degraded under methanogenic conditions. Near stoichiometric amounts of methane were obtained from 2-methylbenzoic acid in enrichment cultures inoculated with 25% (v/v) domestic anaerobic sewage sludge. However, lag times of 12–36 weeks typically were required before 2-methylbenzoic acid degradation began, and it was difficult to maintain the activity of the cultures. A transient metabolite was detected but not identified. It appeared to be the product of 2-methylbenzoic acid hydroxylation because its trimethylsilyl derivative had a molecular weight of 296, but it was not 4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoic acid, the intermediate of m-cresol metabolism from which 2-methylbenzoic acid likely originates.Key words: anaerobic, methane, 2-methylbenzoic acid.

ABSTRACT Monoaromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) are widespread contaminants in groundwater. We examined the anaerobic degradation of BTEX compounds with amorphous ferric oxide as electron acceptor. Successful enrichment cultures were obtained for all BTEX substrates both in the presence and absence of AQDS (9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonic acid). The electron balances showed a complete anaerobic oxidation of the aromatic compounds to CO2. This is the first report on the anaerobic degradation of o-xylene and ethylbenzene in sediment-free iron-reducing enrichment cultures.
