The combined SHARON (Single reactor system for High ammonium Removal Over Nitrite)-ANAMMOX (Anaerobic ammonium oxidation) reactor were operated in mesophilic condition ($35^{\circ}C$). In this study, microbial granulation and characteristics of SHARON and ANAMMOX sludges were investigated using settling test, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH). In SHARON reactor, Aerobic granulation with diameter of 1.5~2.5 mm was accomplished but aerobic granulation was weaker than anaerobic granular sludge. Initial seed sludge of ANAMMOX reactor was used as attached media for biofilm growth. ANAMMOX sludge was more compact and rounder rather than seed sludge. Though ANAMMOX sludge has high activity, it has lower settling ability than the seed granule. The color of ANAMMOX sludge was changed from dark to redish brown granular with diameter of 1~2 mm. In FISH of ANAMMOX sludge, high fraction of Candidatus B. stuttgartiensis which paid great role of nitrogen conversion was detected. Also, FISH results reveals that ANAMMOX bacteria inhabit at inner parts near surface, having advantages in utilization of substrates and protection from oxygen inhibition.

The objective of this study is to estimate the effect of the bed expansion and the characteristics of attached biomass in the start-up in the anaerobic fluidized bed reactor(AFBR). The fluidized bed reactor was operated with bacteria supported on the bed of granular activated carbon(GAC). The reactor was operated at 35$\circ$C, 5 kg $COD/m^3\cdot day$ at bed expansion varying from 0 to 100% with soluble glucose wastewater(5,000 mg/l). When the effluent reached a steady state at 100% of bed expansion, maximum COD removal efficiency of 87.3% and 0.031 $m^3CH_4/kg COD_{removed}$ were obtained. At higher bed expansion, COD removal efficiency, methane production rate and biogas production rate increased. Especially, at 50% of bed expansion, the efficiency of the treatment increasedg rapidly in the AFBR. The biomass colonized in the pits and crevices of the GAC particle and no complete biofilm was established in the bioreactor during the experiment.

This research aims to find granulation and organic removal of the piggery wastewater with the upflow blanket filter(UBF) reactor. UASB process had the effect of high pH on the granulation phase. But teh effect was decreased after the granule formation. The filter zone of the UBF reactor had the function of GSS and contributed to removing the organic because of its biofilm formation. The removal rates of total COD and soluble COD were 70% ~ 80% and 60 ~ 80% at an influent organic loading range of $2{\sim}17.4kgCOD/m^3{\cdot}d$, respectively. The methane production rate with the organic removal was $0.21{\sim}0.34{\ell}CH_4/gCOD_{rem}$ and the maximum methan production rate was $0.34CH_4{\ell}/gCOD_{rem}$ at the volumetric loading $5kgCOD/m^3{\cdot}d$.

SND 공정은 최근에 하수내 질소제거를 위한 새로운 공법으로 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 무산소조, 혐기조 및 담체를 충진한 포기조로 구성된 DMR(Daiho Microbic Revolution)공정을 이용하여 포기량을 2.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.4 및 0.2 L/min으로 변화시키면서 영양염류 제거효율과 동시 질산화/탈질 효율을 검토하였다. 유기물제거율은 포기량에 차이를 보이지 않았으며 모든 조건에서 93%의 제거율을 얻을 수 있었다. T-N 제거효율은 포기량이 적어짐에 따라 높아져 0.2 L/min의 조건에서 80%의 효율을 얻었으며, SND효율 또한 각 조건에서 62, 65, 72 및 78%를 나타내어 포기량 조절만으로 높은 질소제거율을 얻을 수 있었다. T-P는 포기량에 따라 75$\sim$96%의 제거율을 보였지만, 0.2 L/min의 조건에서는 2차 인방출이 발생하였다. 0.5 L/min의 조건에서 슬러지의 poly-P함량은 5.08%였으며 소모된 유기물 양과 방출된 인 농도의 비는 0.72 mg P/mg HAc였다.

A 1.28 L-batch reactor and continuous-flow stirred tank reactor (CFSTR) fed with formate and trichloroethene (TCE) were operated for 120 days and 56 days, respectively, to study the effect of formate as electron donor on anaerobic reductive dechlorination (ARD) of TCE to cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (c-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC), and ethylene (ETH). In batch reactor, injected 60 ${\mu}mol$ TCE was completely degraded in the presence of 20% hydrogen gas ($H_2$) in less than 8 days by anaerobic dechlorination mixed-culture (300 mg-soluble protein), Evanite Culture with ability to completely degrade tetrachloroethene (PCE) and -TCE to ETH under anaerobic conditions. Once the formate was used as electron donor instead of hydrogen gas in batch or chemostat system, the TCE-dechlorination rate decreased and acetate production rate increased. It indicates that the concentration of hydrogen produced in both systems is possibly more close to threshold for homoacetogenesis process. Soluble protein concentration of Evanite culture during the batch test increased from 300 mg to 688 mg for 120 days. Through the protein monitoring, we confirmed an increase of microbial population during the reactor operation. In CFSTR test, TCE was fed continuously at 9.9 ppm (75.38 ${\mu}mol/L$) and the influent formate feed concentration increased stepwise from 1.3 mmol/L to 14.3 mmol/L. Injected TCE was accumulated at 18 days of HRT, but TCE was completely degraded at 36 days of HRT without accumulation of the injected-TCE during the left of experiment period, getting $H_2$ from fermentative hydrogen production of injected formate. Although c-DCE was also accumulated for 23 days after beginning of CFSTR operation, it reached steady-state in the presence of excessive formate. We also evaluated microbial dynamic of the culture at different chemical state in the reactor by DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis).

돼지 도축폐수를 처리하는 Rotating Activated Bacillus Contactors (RABC) 공정의 세균군집 특성을 파악하기 위하여 그람양성세균수와 총세균수를 계수하여 기존 고도폐수처리공정인 A2O (Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic) 공정과 비교하였다. RABC 공정의 생물막 세균군집구조는 비배양기법인 16S rDNA 염기서열결정법을 이용하여 분석하였다. RABC 공정의 총세균수에 대한 그람양성세균수 비율은 생물막(32%)에 비해 최종포기조(1282%) 및 반송슬러지(958%)에서 현저히 증가한 반면, A2O 공정의 그람양성세균수 비율은 호기조(40%)와 반송슬러지(49%) 모두에서 상대적으로 훨씬 낮았다. 총 9개 문에 해당하는 92개의 클론이 검출되었으며, 이 가운데 최우점 집단은 Proteobacteria (64.1%)와 Actinobacteria (18.4)%로서 이들 2개 문이 전체의 82.5%를 차지하였다. 3번째로 많이 검출된 것은 내생포자형성세균집단이 속하는 Firmicutes (5.4%) 문이었다. 소량 검출된 나머지 6개 문은 Bacteroidetes (3.3%), Chlorobi (2.2%), Nitrospirae (1.1%), Chlorofleix (1.1%), Acidobacteria (1.1%), Fusobacteria (1.1%)의 순이었다. Proteobacteria 문 중에서는 Betaproteobacteria 강 34.8%, Alphaproteobacteria 강 26.1%로서 대부분을 차지하였고, Gammaproteobacteria 강은 3.2%이었다. 내생포자형성세균집단의 비율은 모두 19.4%로서, Firmicutes 문 5.4%와 Actinobacteria 문의 Intrasporangiaceae과 14.0%이었다. 질화세균 및 탈질세균과 관련된 클론 비율 6.5%, 인축적세균과 관련된 클론 비율 5.4%를 기록함으로써 무기영양소 및 악취 제거능력을 가진 세균집단이 RABC 생물막에 많이 서식하고 있음이 확인되었다.

The most energy-demanding step of wastewater treatment is the aeration-dependent elimination of organic carbon. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer an alternative strategy in which carbon elimination is conducted by anaerobic microorganisms that transport respiratory electrons originating from carbon oxidation to an anode. Hence, chemical energy is directly transformed into electrical energy. In this study, the use and stability of barcode-containing exoelectrogenic model biofilms under non-axenic wastewater treatment conditions are described. Genomic barcodes were integrated in Shewanella oneidensis, Geobacter sulfurreducens, and G. metallireducens. These barcodes are unique for each strain and allow distinction between those cells and naturally occurring wild types as well as quantification of the amount of cells in a biofilm via multiplex qPCR. MFCs were pre-incubated with these three strains, and after 6 days the anodes were transferred into MFCs containing synthetic wastewater with 1% wastewater sludge. Over time, the system stabilized and the coulomb efficiency was constant. Overall, the initial synthetic biofilm community represented half of the anodic population at the end of the experimental timeline. The part of the community that contained a barcode was dominated by G. sulfurreducens cells (61.5%), while S. oneidensis and G. metallireducens cells comprised 10.5% and 17.9%, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to describe the stability of a synthetic exoelectrogenic consortium under non-axenic conditions. The observed stability offers new possibilities for the application of synthetic biofilms and synthetically engineered organisms fed with non-sterile waste streams.

본 연구는 급속한 산업 발전으로 인해 일어난 많은 수질오염 문제 중 생활하수의 처리방법에 관심을 기울여 생물막 공법을 이용하였는데, 이는 소규모 오폐수 처리장치에서 운전과 유지가 간단하고 활성슬러지 공정보다 넓은 부지를 필요로 하지 않기 때문이다. 생물막 공법 중 생물여상법의 변법을 적용한 Pilot 규모의 상향류식 충전탑형 반응기로 내부의 담체로는 폐토기와 폐비닐을 넣어 혐기조와 호기조를 구성하였고, 생활 오수로는 식당 오수를 이용하여 Lab.-Scale 실험 후 Pilot-Scale로 Scale-up하여 100여일 간에 걸쳐 실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 연속 포기시 일정 HRT에서 유기물과 질소, 인 제거율을 살펴보았다. 실험결과 $BOD_5$와 SS의 평균 제거율은 각각 94.33%와 87.77%로 높은 제거율을 보였으나, $COD_{Cr}$은 81.46%로 목표 제거율 90% 이상에 미치지 못하였고, T-N과 T-P도 각각 71.92%와 21.10%로 예상보다 약간 낮았다. 특히 $COD_{Cr}$와 T-N의 제거율은 지난 Lab.-Scale 때보다 약 10% 정도의 감소를 하여 Pilot-scale에 내외적인 문제가 작용한 것으로 보였다.

Purpose: This pilot study assessed the immediate in vivo effect of high peak pulse power neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser monotherapy on selected red/orange complex periodontal pathogens in deep human periodontal pockets. Methods: Twelve adults with severe periodontitis were treated with the Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®) surgical protocol, wherein a free-running, digitally pulsed, Nd:YAG dental laser was used as the initial therapeutic step before mechanical root debridement. Using a flexible optical fiber in a handpiece, Nd:YAG laser energy, at a density of 196 J/cm² and a high peak pulse power of 1,333 W/pulse, was directed parallel to untreated tooth root surfaces in sequential coronal-apical passes to clinical periodontal probing depths, for a total applied energy dose of approximately 8-12 joules per millimeter of periodontal probing depth at each periodontal site. Subgingival biofilm specimens were collected from each patient before and immediately after Nd:YAG laser monotherapy from periodontal pockets exhibiting ≥6 mm probing depths and bleeding on probing. Selected red/orange complex periodontal pathogens (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Prevotella intermedia/nigrescens, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Parvimonas micra, and Campylobacter species) were quantified in the subgingival samples using established anaerobic culture techniques. Results: All immediate post-treatment subgingival biofilm specimens continued to yield microbial growth after Nd:YAG laser monotherapy. The mean levels of total cultivable red/orange complex periodontal pathogens per patient significantly decreased from 12.0% pretreatment to 4.9% (a 59.2% decrease) immediately after Nd:YAG laser monotherapy, with 3 (25%) patients rendered culture-negative for all evaluated red/orange complex periodontal pathogens. Conclusions: High peak pulse power Nd:YAG laser monotherapy, used as the initial step in the LANAP® surgical protocol on mature subgingival biofilms, immediately induced significant reductions of nearly 60% in the mean total cultivable red/orange complex periodontal pathogen proportions per patient prior to mechanical root instrumentation and the rest of the LANAP® surgical protocol.
