Abstract

We isolated a toluene-degrading bacterium, TDB-4, from a bioreactor which designed to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the contaminated air. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene analysis, it was classified as Pseudomonas sp. The toluene degradability was estimated in the variable toluene and bacterial concentrations. The bacterial growth and degradation rate was higher in the samples supplied with 50 ${\mu}mole/vial$ of toluene than with 10 ${\mu}mole/vial$. It was decreased, however, in the samples with 100 ${\mu}mole/vial$, indicating that toluene inhibit the growth or degradation activity of TDB-4 at high concentration. When the degradation ability of other compounds was examined, TDB-4 can degrade other VOCs such as styrene, benzene, and xylene. These results will be helpful to optimize the operating conditions to improve the efficiency of a bioreactor in detoxification of VOCs.

휘발성 유기화합물(VOCs)을 제거하기 위해 고안된 미생물 반응기에서 TDB-4로 명명된 톨루엔 분해 세균을 분리하였다. 16S rRNA 유전자 분석을 통하여 TDB-4는 Pseudomonas 속에 속하는 것으로 판명되었다. 이 세균에 의한 톨루엔 분해 특성을 관찰하기 위하여 세균의 농도와 기질인 톨루엔 농도를 변화시키면서 톨루엔의 분해도를 측정하였다. 낮은 농도인 $10{\mu}mole$의 톨루엔을 기질로 공급하였을 때 보다 $50{\mu}mole$의 톨루엔을 주었을 때 세균 성장과 톨루엔 분해 속도가 높았다. 하지만, $100{\mu}mole$의 톨루엔을 공급한 시료에서는 낮은 농도의 시료보다 세균 성장과 분해속도가 낮은 것으로 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 높은 톨루엔 농도에서 TDB-4의 성장 및 톨루엔 분해도가 저해받는 것을 의미한다. 다른 VOC에 대한 TDB-4의 분해능을 관찰한 결과, styrene, benzene 및 xylene의 분해능이 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 실험결과는 VOC를 제거하기 위해 고안된 미생물 반응기의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 운전조건의 최적화에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
