The internal airlift loop reactor with ceramic honeycomb supports (IAL-CHS) was applied for biodegradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and phenol. A strain of DCP-degrading bacteria isolated from activated sludge, Achromobacter sp., was rapidly immobilized onto the ceramic honeycomb supports. The immobilized cells effectively biodegraded 2,4-DCP alone and together with phenol in batch and continuous-flow experiments. For example, 2,4-DCP was biodegraded from an influent concentration of 50 mg/L to less than 1 mg/L with a 6-h hydraulic retention time (HRT) in continuous flow tests. The immobilized biomass grew and accumulated through 2,4-DCP biodegradation, and the rate of degradation increased accordingly.

Cyanobacterial hepatotoxin microcystins are a health problem found in bodies of water in Thailand. Bacteria capable of biodegrading microcystin [Dha7]MC-LR were isolated from the Bueng Nong Khot reservoir in Khon Kaen, Thailand. The bacterium Novosphingobium isolate KKU25s was shown to degrade [Dha7]MC-LR at a concentration of 25 μg l−1 at 30 °C within 24 h. Two intermediate by-products (linearized peptide and tetrapeptide) and a cluster gene (mlrA, mlrB, mlrC and mlrD) that encodes four putative enzymes involved in [Dha7]MC-LR degradation were detected in KKU25s. KKU25s was also shown to form strong biofilms in microtiter plate assays. These assays were carried out in preparation for use of the bacterium in a bioreactor for [Dha7]MC-LR degradation. In an internal airlift loop bioreactor, the biodegradation of [Dha7]MC-LR by the bacterium was established in batch and continuous flow experiments. In the batch experiment, KKU25s degraded [Dha7]MC-LR at a concentration of 25 μg l−1 at 30 °C within 24 h, whereas in the continuous flow experiment, KKU25s degraded the toxin at the same concentration within 36 h. This study demonstrated that this bacterium could potentially be used to remove microcystins from water.

The characteristics of the glucose degradation by acidogenesis processes were investigated both in a long-term operating laboratory-scale continuously stirred tank reactor and in short-term experiments utilising a titration and off-gas analysis (TOGA) sensor. The results obtained from continuous-flow experiments in both reactors demonstrated that the TOGA sensor can be applied as a useful tool for the study of acidogenesis processes under steady-state and dynamic conditions. No significant effect from the culture transfer could be detected in the study with the TOGA sensor. Furthermore, the variation of gas production rate could be monitored at real time by the TOGA sensor. The experiments showed that the distribution of acidogenic products in the liquid and the gas phase was significantly influenced by the hydraulic retention time at least in the short term.
