RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effect of particle size and dosage of granular activated carbon (GAC) on methane production from the anaerobic digestion of raw effluent (RE) of swine wastewater, and the solid (SF) and liquid (LF) fractions. The effect of temperature using the selected size and dosage of GAC was also evaluated. METHODS: 60 mL of swine wastewater were inoculated with anaerobic granular sludge and GAC at different dosages and particle size. The cultures were incubated at different temperatures at 130 rpm. The kinetic parameters from experimental data were obtained using the Gompertz model. RESULTS: The cultures with the LF and GAC (75-150 µm, 15 g/L) increased 1.87-fold the methane production compared to the control without GAC. The GAC at 75-150 µm showed lower lag phases and higher Rmax than the cultures with GAC at 590-600 µm. The cumulative methane production at 45 °C with the RE + GAC was 7.4-fold higher than the control. Moreover, methane production at 45 °C significantly increased with the cultures LF + GAC (6.0-fold) and SF + GAC (2.0-fold). The highest production of volatile fatty acids and ammonium was obtained at 45 °C regardless of the substrate and the addition of GAC contributed to a higher extent than the cultures lacking GAC. In most cases, the kinetic parameters at 30 °C and 37 °C were also higher with GAC. CONCLUSIONS: GAC contributed to improving the fermentative and methanogenesis stages during the anaerobic digestion of fractions, evidenced by an improvement in the kinetic parameters.

RESUMEN

The relation between fatty acid accumulation, activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and consequently lipid accumulation was studied in the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris co-immobilized with the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense under dark heterotrophic conditions with Na acetate as a carbon source. In C. vulgaris immobilized alone, cultivation experiments for 6 days showed that ACC activity is directly related to fatty acid accumulation, especially in the last 3 days. In co-immobilization experiments, A. brasilense exerted a significant positive effect over ACC activity, increased the quantity in all nine main fatty acids, increased total lipid accumulation in C. vulgaris, and mitigated negative effects of nonoptimal temperature for growth. No correlation between ACC activity and lipid accumulation in the cells was established for three different temperatures. This study demonstrated that the interaction between A. brasilense and C. vulgaris has a significant effect on fatty acid and lipid accumulation in the microalgae.

RESUMEN

The mesquite amargo (Prosopis articulate), one of the main nurse trees of the Sonoran Desert in Mexico, is responsible for major, natural re-vegetation processes. It exudes gluconic acid in root exudates, a favorite carbon source for the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense. Two enzymes, gluconokinase (EC 2.7.1.12) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.44), participating in the phosphogluconate pathway, are active in the bacteria. Bacterial 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is a constitutive enzyme, while gluconokinase is induced upon exposure to gluconic acid. Both enzymes are active in young, non-inoculated mesquite seedlings growing under hydroponic conditions. When A. brasilense Cd bacteria are inoculated on the root system, the roots exhibit much higher activity of gluconokinase, but not 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Mesquite roots exhibit high levels of root colonization by the inoculating bacteria. At the same time, and also for plants growing under sand culture conditions, the seedlings grew taller, greener, had longer leaves, and were heavier.
