퇴적물 내 황화물(acid volatile sulfide, AVS)이 저서 생물의 금속 생물 축적 및 독성 반응에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 이해하기 위해서 해양 다모류인 Neanthes arenaceodentata를 이용한 퇴적물 노출실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해서 세 개의 다른 AVS 농도군에 대조구를 포함한 다섯 개의 농도 구배로 Cd, Ni, Zn를 오염시킨 퇴적물에서 N. arenaceodentata를 20일간 배양한 후 실험생물의 체내 금속 축적량과 그에 따른 사망률 및 성장률을 조사하였다. N. arenaceodentata에 의한 금속의 생물축적은 Cd과 Zn의 경우 AVS 농도의 영향을 받아서 해수(overlying water, OW)내 용존 금속 농도에 비례해서 증가했다. Ni은 AVS농도에 영향을 받지 않고 퇴적물 내 금속(simultaneously extracted metals. SEM)농도에 비례해서 증가했다. N. arenaceodentata의 사망과 성장률 저해현상은 SEM과 AVS 간의 몰농도차가 영보다 큰 조건(［SEM-AVS］>0)에서만 관찰되었는데 용존 Zn에 의한 결과로 추정되었다. OW-Zn의 20-d LC50값은 9.3(8.0$\pm$11.0) $\mu$M이었다. 사망률에 대한 체내 Zn 농도의 최소영향농도(LOEC)는 7.8 $\mu$mol/g이었고, 최대무영향농도(NOEC)는 6.2$\mu$mol/g이었다. 성장률 저해에 대한 체내 Zn 농도의 LOEC는 5.9$\mu$mol/g이었고, NOEC은5.1 $\mu$mol/g토이었다. 본 실험에서는 실험실 조건에서 인위적으로 오염시킨 퇴적물 내 Zn의 입자상 Zn 농도와 용존 Zn농도의 비 (K$_{d}$ )가 현장 퇴적물에 비해서 10배 정도 감소함으로써 결국 용존 Zn에 의한 독성이 과대평가된 것으로 보인다.

Proliferation of Nocardia amarae cells in activated sludge has often been associated with the generation of nuisance foams. Despite intense research activities in recent years to examine the causes and control of Nocardia foaming in activated sludge, the foaming continued to persist throughout the activated sludge treatment plants in United States. In addition to causing various operational problems to treatment processes, the presence of Nocardia may have secondary effects on the fate of heavy metals that are not well known. For example, for treatment plants facing more stringent metal removal requirements, potential metal removal by Nocardia cells in foaming activated sludge would be a welcome secondary effect. In contrast, with new viosolid disposal regulations in place (Code o( Federal Regulation No. 503), higher concentration of metals in biosolids from foaming activated sludge could create management problems. The goal of this research was to investigate the metal sorption property of Nocardia amarae cells grown in batch reactors and in chemostat reactors. Specific surface area and metal sorption characteristics of N. amarae cells harvested at various growth stages were compared. Three metals examined in this study were copper, cadmium and nickel. Nocardia amarae strain (SRWTP isolate) used in this study was obtained from the University of California at Berkeley. The pure culture was grown in 4L batch reactor containing mineral salt medium with sodium acetate as the sole carbon source. In order to quantify the sorption of heavy metal ions to N amarae cell surfaces, cells from the batch reactor were harvested, washed, and suspended in 30mL centrifuge tubes. Metal sorption studies were conducted at pH 7.0 and ionlc strength of 10-2M. The sorption Isotherm showed that the cells harvested from the stationary and endogenous growth phase exhibited significantly higher metal sorption capacity than the cells from the exponential phase. The sequence of preferential uptake of metals by N. amarae cells was Cu>Cd>Ni. The specific surFace area of Nocardia cells was determined by a dye adsorption method. N.amarae cells growing at ewponential phase had significantly less specific surface area than that of stationary phase, indicating that the lower metal sorption capacity of Nocardia cells growing at exponential phase may be due to the lower specific surface area. The growth conditions of Nocardia cells in continuous culture affect their cell surface properties, thereby governing the adsorption capacity of heavy metal. The comparison of dye sorption isotherms for Nocardia cells growing at various growth rates revealed that the cell surface area increased with increasing sludge age, indicating that the cell surface area is highly dependent on the steady-state growth rate. The highest specific surface area of 199m21g was obtained from N.amarae cell harvested at 0.33 day-1 of growth rate. This result suggests that growth condition not only alters the structure of Nocardia cell wall but also affects the surface area, thus yielding more binding sites of metal removal. After reaching the steady-state condition at dilution rate, metal adsorption isotherms were used to determine the equilibrium distributions of metals between aqueous and Nocardia cell surfaces. The metal sorption capacity of Nocardia biomass harvested from 0.33 day-1 of growth rate was significantly higher than that of cells harvested from 0.5- and 1-day-1 operation, indicatng that N.amarae cells with a lower growth rate have higher sorpion capacity. This result was in close agreement with the trend observed from the batch study. To evaluate the effect of Nocardia cells on the metal binding capacity of activated sludge, specific surface area and metal sorption capacity of the mixture of Nocardia pure cultures and activated sludge biomass were determined by a series of batch experiments. The higher levels of Nocardia cells in the Nocardia-activated sludge samples resulted in the higher specific surface area, explaining the higher metal sorption sites by the mixed luquor samples containing greater amounts on Nocardia cells. The effect of Nocardia cells on the metal sorption capacity of activated sludge was evaluated by spiking an activated sludge sample with various amounts of pre culture Nocardia cells. The results of the Langmuir isotherm model fitted to the metal sorption by various mixtures of Nocardia and activated sludge indicated that the mixture containing higher Nocardia levels had higher metal adsorption capacity than the mixture containing lower Nocardia levels. At Nocardia levels above 100mg/g VSS, the metal sorption capacity of activate sludge increased proportionally with the amount of Noeardia cells present in the mixed liquor, indicating that the presence of Nocardia may increase the viosorption capacity of activated sludge.
