A study on cell surface hydrophobicity, growth and metabolism of Zymomonas mobilis influenced by PEG as a pretreatment agent

This study investigates the effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000, a non-ionic surfactant, on the cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) ofZymomonas mobilis, as well as its growth and metabolism.

Substrate Preferences

Non-filamentous hydrophobic scum bacteria were isolated from scumming wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) by means of adhesion to hydrocarbons. They were characterized with respect to taxonomy, substrate preferences, cell surface hydrophobicity, and emulsification capability. Their role during flotation events is discussed. Rhodococci are selected by hydrolysable substrates and contribute to flotation both by cell surface hydrophobicity and emulsifying activity at long mean cell residence times (MCRT). Saprophytic Acinetobacter strains are able to promote flotation by hydrophobicity and producing emulsifying agents under conditions when hydrophobic substrates are predominant. Hydrogenophaga and Acidovorax species as well as members of the Cytophaga/Flavobacterium group are prone to proliferate under low loading conditions and contribute to flotation mainly by emulsification.
