Performance of anaerobic sludge and microbial social behaviors in an expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) were evaluated by increasing reflux ratio from 50% to 500% stage by stage, with a constant influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 5500 mg/L at hydraulic retention time 12 h. The results indicated that the reflux ratio of 100% - 200% was more favorable for the EGSB with a methane production of 2.4 m/m·d. It was found that acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs)-mediated quorum sensing (QS) could balance various microbial populations in the anaerobic digestion process. C-HSL and C-HSL were identified as the specific AHLs in enhancing granulation of anaerobic sludge by stimulating protein secretion into extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). 3-oxo-C-HSL and 3-oxo-C-HSL were verified for the enhancement of methanogenesis. The present study showed a novel perspective on the performance of EGSB with reflux ratios based on the AHLs-mediated QS.
通过逐步将回流比从 50%提高到 500%,在水力停留时间为 12 小时、进水化学需氧量(COD)为 5500mg/L 的条件下,评估了厌氧污泥的性能和微生物社会行为在膨胀颗粒污泥床(EGSB)中的表现。结果表明,回流比为 100%-200%时更有利于 EGSB 的甲烷生成,产甲烷量为 2.4m/m·d。研究发现,酰基高丝氨酸内酯(AHLs)介导的群体感应(QS)可以在厌氧消化过程中平衡各种微生物种群。C-HSL 和 C-HSL 被鉴定为通过刺激蛋白质分泌到细胞外聚合物(EPS)中增强厌氧污泥颗粒化的特定 AHLs。3-氧代-C-HSL 和 3-氧代-C-HSL 被证明可以增强产甲烷作用。本研究基于 AHLs 介导的 QS,为 EGSB 回流比的性能提供了新的视角。
