Abstract

Zusatzinfos

The microbially mediated reactions, that are responsible for field-scale natural attenuation of organic pollutants, are governed by the concurrent presence of a degrading microbial community, suitable energy and carbon sources, electron acceptors, as well as nutrients. The temporal lack of one of these essential components for microbial activity, arising from transient environmental conditions, might potentially impair in-situ biodegradation. This study presents results of small scale flow-through experiments aimed at ascertaining the effects of substrate-starvation periods on the aerobic degradation of toluene by Pseudomonas putida F1. During the course of the experiments, concentrations of attached and mobile bacteria, as well as toluene and oxygen were monitored. Results from a fitted reactive-transport model, along with the observed profiles, show the ability of attached cells to survive substrate-starvation periods of up to four months and suggest a highly dynamic exchange between attached and mobile cells under growth conditions and negligible cell detachment under substrate-starvation conditions. Upon reinstatement of toluene, it was readily degraded without a significant lag period, even after a starvation period of 130 days. Our experimental and modeling results strongly suggest that aerobic biodegradation of BTEX-hydrocarbons at contaminated field sites is not hampered by intermittent starvation periods of up to four months.
