Abstract

In this study, biological PCE degradation by using a BTEX degrading bacterium, named BJ10, under aerobic conditions in the presence of toluene was examined. According to morphological, physiological characteristics, 16S rDNA sequencing and fatty acid analysis, BJ10 was classified as Pseudomonas putida. As a result of biological PCE degradation at low PCE concentrations (5 mg/L), PCE removal efficiency by P. putida BJ10 was 52.8% for 10 days, and PCE removal rate was 5.9 nmol/hr (toluene concentration 50 mg/L, initial cell density 1.0 g (wet weight)/L, temperature 30, pH 7 and DO $3.0{\sim}4.2\;mg/L$. At high PCE concentration (100 mg/L), PCE removal efficiency by P. putida BJ10 was 20.3% for 10 days, and PCE removal rate was 46.0 nmol/hr under the same conditions. The effects of various toluene concentration (5, 25, 50, 100, 200 mg/L) on PCE degradation were examined under the same incubation conditions. The highest PCE removal efficiency of PCE was 57.0% in the initial PCE concentration of 10 mg/L in the presence of 200 mg/L toluene for 10 days. Furthermore, the additional injection of 5.5 mg/L PCE (total 7.6 mg/L) made 63.0% degradation for 8 days in the presence of 50 mg/L toluene under the same conditions. Its removal rate was 13.5 nmol/hr, which was better than the initial removal rate (8.1 nmol/hr).

BTEX 분해능을 가진 BJ10세균을 이용하여 호기조건에서 toluene 첨가 시 tetrachloroethylene (PCE) 분해에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. BJ10은 형태학적 특징, 생리 생화학적 특징, 16S rRNA 염기서열 분석 및 지방산 분석 결과에 따라 Pseudomonas putida로 동정되었다. BJ10의 PCE 저농도 5 mg/L에서 PCE 분해 실험 결과(toluene 첨가 기질 농도 50mg/L, 균초기 접종농도 1.0g/L, 온도 $30^{\circ}C$, pH7 그리고 DO $3.0{\sim}4.2\;mg/L$), 10일간 52.8%의 분해 효율을 보였으며, PCE 분해 속도는 5.9 nmol/hr로 나타났다. 또한 BJ10의 PCE 고농도 100 mg/L에서 PCE 분해 실험 결과 (toluene 첨가 기질 농도 50 mg/L, 균 초기 접종 농도 1.0 g/L, 온도 $30^{\circ}C$, pH 7 그리고 DO $3.0{\sim}4.2\;mg/L$), 10일간 20.3%의 분해 효율을 보였으며, PCE 분해 속도는 46.0 nmol/hr로 나타났다. Toluene 첨가 농도에 따른 PCE 분해 효율 증감 효과를 알아보기 위하여, 동일한 배양 조건하에 10 mg/L의 PCE에 toluene ($5{\sim}200\;mg/L$)을 첨가하여 분해 실험을 실시한 결과, toluene 200 mg/L 첨가시 10일간 57.0%의 PCE가 분해되어 가장 높은 제거 효율을 보였다. 또한 PCE 5.5 mg/L(총 7.6 mg/L)를 추가적으로 주입하여 동일조건하에서 PCE 분해를 확인하였으며 결과적으로 8일 동안 63.0%의 PCE가 분해되었다. 이 때의 PCE 분해 속도는 13.5 nmol/hr로 초기의 분해속도(8.1 nmol/hr)보다 증가되었다.
