Effect of electron accepters on anaerobic degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons by an anaerobic sludge taken from a sludge digestion tank in a soil artificially contaminated with 10,000 mg/kg soil of diesel fuel was tested. Treatments of soil with 30 mL of the digestion sludge (2,000 mg/L of vss (volatile suspended solids)) were incubated under several anaerobic conditions including nitrate reducing, sulfate reducing, methanogenic, and mixed electron accepters conditions for 120 days. Treatments with the digested sludge showed significant degradation of diesel fuel under all anaerobic conditions compare to control treatments with an autoclaved sludge and without the sludge. The amount of TPH degradation after 120days incubation was the largest in the treatment with the sludge and mixed electron accepters (75% removal of TPH) followed in order by sulfate reducing, nitrate reducing, methanegenic condition as 67%, 53％, 43%, respectively. However, the rate of TPH degradation in the nitrate- and sulfate reducing condition within 105 days were comparable with that of the mixed electron accepters condition. Microorganisms in each electron acceptor condition were plated on solid mediums containing nitrate or sulfate as sole electron acceptor and several nitrate- and sulfate reducing bacteria showed effective degradation of diesel fuel within 30 days incubations. These results suggest that anaerobic degradation of diesel fuel in soil with digested sludge is effective for practical remediation of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons.

Accidental release of petroleum products from underground storage tank(USTs) is one of the most common causes of groundwater contamination. BTEX is the major components of fuel oils, which are hazardous substances regulated by many nations. In addition to BTEX, other gasoline consituents such as MTBE(methyl-t-buthyl ether), anphthalene are also toxic to humans. Natual attenuation processes include physic, chemical, and biological trasformation. Aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation are believed to be the major processes that account for both containment of the petroleum-hydrocarbon plum and reduction of the contaminant concentrations. Aerobic bioremediation has been highly effective in the remediation of many fuel releases. However, Bioremediation of aromatic hydrocarbons in groundwater and sediments is ofen limited by the inability to provide sufficient oxygen to the contaminated zones due to the low water solubility of oxygen. Anaerobic processes refer to a variety of biodegradation mechanisms that use nitrate, ferric iron, sulfate, and carbon dioxide as terminal electron accepters. The objectives of this study was to conduct laboratory-scale microcosm studies in assessing enhanced bioremediation potential of BTEX and MTBE under various electron accepters(aerobic, nitrate, ferric iron, sulfate) in contaminated Soil. these results suggest that, presents evidence and a variety pattern of the biological removal of aromatic compounds under enhanced nitrate-, Fe(III)-, sulfate-reducing conditions.

The photosensory ciliates Blepharisma japonicum and Stentor coeruleus use the hypericin-derived pigments blepharismin and stentorin, respectively, as photoreceptor chromophores. Fluorescence quenching studies have shown that the first excited singlet state of hypericin and the purified chromophores blepharismin and stentorin can be deactivated by electron transfer to an acceptor molecule with a suitable reducing potential [1,2]. This paper reports the result of a series of photobehavioral experiments performed with the aim to ascertain if the same electron accepters which quench the photoreceptor pigment fluorescence in vitro may also compete with the native acceptor molecule in its natural physiological environment. Individual cell trajectories were examined before and after light stimulation, in the presence and in the absence of potential "in vivo" electron accepters, with a microvideo-recording apparatus. Our data, on Blepharisma cells, showed that as the negative reduction potential of the electron acceptor increases, a pronounced decrease in cell photoresponsiveness was detected. A dramatic effect on cell photoresponsiveness was noticed in the presence of 1,4-benzoquinone that has the lowest negative reduction potential. Such an effect on the percentage of photoreacting cells was moderate in the case of 1,4-naphthoquinone, with a relatively higher negative reduction potential. In the presence of benzophenone, which has the highest negative reduction potential, no significant effect on photoreacting cells was noticed. Our results can support the hypothesis that in the pigment granules such a light-induced charge transfer from excited blepharismin to a suitable electron acceptor triggers sensory transduction processes in B. japonicum.

혐기성 소화조 슬러지 주입에 의한 디젤오염(10,000 mg/kg soil) 토양 내 석유계 탄화수소의 혐기성 분해에 관하여 조사하였다. 오염된 토양 50 g에 총휘발성 고형물 농도 2,000 mg/L인 소화조 슬러지를 15 mL/kg soil와 30 mL/kg soil 농도로 주입하고 90일간 배양한 결과, 각각 37.2%와 58.0%의 총석유계 탄화수소(TPH)의 분해율을 나타내었다. 슬러지를 주입하지 않은 오염토양 대조군과 멸균된 토양에 멸균된 슬러지를 주입한 대조군에서는 120일간의 배양에서 초기 첨가한 디젤의 17%와 4%가 각각 제거된 것에 비하여, 전자수용체의 종류를 달리한 여러 혐기성 조건, 즉, 질산염 환원 조건, 황산염 환원 조건, 메탄생성 조건, 혼합 전자수용체 조건 모두에서 소화조 슬러지 주입에 의해 토양 내 디젤의 40% 이상이 분해됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 배양 120일 동안의 오염토양 내 TPH의 분해율은 혼합 전자수용체 조건에서 75%로 가장 높았으며, 황산염 환원 조건(67%), 질산염 환원 조건(13%), 메탄생성 조건(43%) 순으로 나타났다. 그러나 난분해성 물질로 알려진 isoprenoid의 분해율은 황산염 환원 조건이 다른 전자수용체 조건에 비해 가장 높은 분해율을 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과를 통하여, 소화조 슬러지를 이용하여 혐기성 상태에서 오염토양 내 디젤을 분해하는 기술은 석유계 탄화수소로 오염된 토양의 실질적인 복원에 유용한 것으로 판단되었다.

A numerical model that describes the reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethene(PCE) to ethene via cis-dichloroethene(CDCE) was developed. The model included two separated dehalogenator groups : one for PCE transformation to cDCE via TCE and the other for cDCE dehalogenation to ethene via VC, competitive inhibition between different chloroethene electron accepters, and competition for H$_2$ between dechlorination and methanogens. Model simulations suggest first, that PCE dechlorinators are better competitive with methanogens than cDCE dechlorinators. Second, not only the initial relative population size of dehalogenators and H$_2$-utilizing methanogens but also electron donor delivery strategies used greatly affects the degree of dehalogenation. As a result, all of factors in the above must be considered in order to achieve economical and successful bioremediation of contaminated soil and groundwater with chlorinated solvents.

The simultaneous biodegradation between MTBE (Gasoline additives) and BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl-benzene, o-Xylene, m-Xylene, p-Xylene) was achieved within a competitive inter-relationship, with not only electron accepters such as nitrate, sulfate, and iron(III) without oxygen, but also with electron donors such as MTBE and BTEX. Preexisting indigenous microorganisms from a domestic sample of gasoline contaminated soil was used for a lab-scale batch test. The result of the test showed that the biodegradation rate of MTBE decreased when there was co-existing MTBE and BTEX, compared to having just MTBE present. The growth of indigenous microorganisms was not affected in the case of the MTBE treatment, whereas the growth of the microorganisms was decreased in combined MTBE and BTEX sample. This may indicate that an inhibitor related to biodegradation when BTEX and MTBE are mixed will be found. This inhibitor may be found to retard the anaerobic conditions needed for efficient breakdown of these complex carbon chain molecules in-situ. Moreover, it is also possible that an unknown competitive reaction is being imposed on the interactions between MTBE and BTEX dependent on conditions, ratios of mixture, etc.

Bioremediation is a degradation process of existing organic contaminants in soils and groundwater by indigenous or inoculated microorganisms. This process can provide economical solution as well as safe and effective alternative in remediation technologies. However, it has been suggested that the rate of bioremediation process of organic contaminants by microorganisms can be limited by the concentration of nutrients and TEAs(Terminal Electron Accepters). In in-situ bioremediation, conventional pumping techniques have been used for supplying these additives. However, the injection of these additives is difficult in low permeable soils, and also hindered by preferential flow paths resulting from heterogeneities in high permeable ground. Therefore, the Injection of chemical additives is the most significant concern in in-situ bioremediation. Most recently, electrokinetic technique has been applied into the bioremediation and the injection characteristics under electrokinetics have not been examined in various soil types. Therefore, in this study, electrokinetic injection method is investigated in kaolinite and sand, and the concentration of ammonium(nutrients) and sulfate(TEAs) in soil is presented.

금속 이온 환훤 세균에 의한 철(III)환원은 생물지구화학적 물질순환(biogeochemical cycle)에 무척 중요하다. 이는 크롬(Ⅵ)이나 우라늄(Ⅵ)과 같은 독성 중금속 물질의 환원과 유기물질의 산화에 모텔이 되기 때문이다. 총 37균주의 Fe (III)환원 세균을 소양호와 천호지의 저질토에서 각각 분리하였다. 두 정점 중 초기 Fe (II)의 함유량이 가장 높았던 것은 소양호의 저질토였으나 Fe (III)환훤능은 반대로 가장 낮은 Fe (II)함유량을 보여 주었던 천호지가 높게 나타났다. 또한 분리한 균주 중 천호지에서 분리한 균주 C2와 C3가 가장 높은 Fe (III) 환훤능을 보여 주었으며 이 균주를 이용하여 다양한 전자 공여체의 이용 여부를 실험하였다. Glucose, yeast extract, acetate, ethanol, toluene등을 이용하여 실험한 결과 두 균주 모두 glucose와 yeast extract만을 전자 공여체로 이용하였다. 또한 전자 수용체로 토양에 광범위하게 존재하는 humid acid와 nitrate를 이용하였으며 수율이 높은 nitrate reduction에 의해 환원되었던 humic acid가 다시 재 산화되는 것을 관촬할수 있었다. 활성능이 우수한 균주 C2와C3의 165S rRNA유전자 분석 결과에 의하면 Aeromonas hydrophila와 95%의 유사성을 보여주었다.

현재 원위치 bioremediation을 목적으로 EK (electrokinetlc)기법에 의한 영양분과 TEAs (Terminal electron accepters) 공급이 연구되고 있으나, 아직까지 다양한 토질에서의 EK 주입특성 연구는 미비하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 카올린과 모래시료에 대하여 영양분인 암모늄이온과 TEAs로서 황산염이온의 EK주입실험을 수행하였다. EK주입에 의한 암모늄이온의 경우 카올린에서는 주입부(양극)에서 높은 농도분포를 보이며, 특별히 모래의 경우는 음극에서 더욱 높은 농도분포를 보인다. 황산염이온의 주입분포는 두 시료에서 모두 균일한 주입분포를 보이지만 두 시료에서의 농도차는 크게 달랐다. 따라서 원위치 bioremediation에 EK 주입기법을 이용할 경우 토질에 따른 주입특성의 평가가 가장 중요하게 고려되어야 한다.
