A bacterial strain, PNS-1, isolated from activated sludge, could utilize sulphanilic acid (4-ABS) as the sole organic carbon and energy source under aerobic conditions. Determination and comparison of 16S r DNA sequences showed that the strain PNS-1 is closely related to the species of Agrobacterium genus. Growth on 4-ABS was accompanied with ammonia and sulfate release. TOC results showed complete mineralization of sulphanilic acid. This strain was highly specific for 4-ABS as none of the sulphonated aromatics used in the present study including other ABS isomers were utilized. Strain PNS-1 could, however, utilize all the tested monocyclic aromatic compounds devoid of a sulfonate group. No intermediates could be detected either in the growth phase or with dense cell suspensions. Presence of chloramphenicol completely inhibited 4-ABS degradation by cells pregrown on succinate, indicating that degradation enzymes are inducible. No plasmid could be detected in the Agrobacterium sp. Strain PNS-1 suggesting that 4-ABS degradative genes may be chromosomal encoded.

In this study, the effects of chloride ion concentration and pH on UV oxidation treatment were examined. Acetone and sodium dodecyl sulfate (ABS) were used as organic substances. The treatment efficiencies of these chemicals by UV/H(2)O(2) oxidation using a laboratory scale UV-free surface reactor (UV-FSR) with or without Cl(-) addition at different pH values was compared. Results of this study indicated that Cl(-) concentration and the chemical structure of the substances are more decisive than pH in the oxidation process. There was no AOX at the start of the experiments but as a result of oxidation a de novo synthesis of AOX was observed, and these AOX(de novo) compounds were destroyed during the treatment. Treatment was followed by TOC and AOX measurements. Approximately 98% and 95% TOC removal efficiencies were obtained for the treatment of acetone and ABS containing wastewaters, respectively.

A 4-aminobenzenesulphonate-degrading strain W1 was isolated from the activated sludge of Dalian municipal wastewater treatment plant. Strain W1 was able to utilize 4-ABS as sole carbon and energy source under aerobic condition. It was identified as Pannonibacter sp. according to its morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and the analysis of its 16S rDNA gene. The optimum conditions for 4-ABS biodegradation in the shaking flasks were 10% inoculum, 30 degrees C, pH 7.0 and were rotated at speed 150 r/min, respectively. Strain W1 could keep high degrading ability even in the presence of extra carbon source. Release of ammonia and sulfate were around 77.6% and 91.5% of theoretic concentration according to 4-ABS degradation, for 4-ABS could serve as the nitrogen and sulfur source. Strain W1 showed efficient biodegradability even at 2,500 mg/L, and 90% 4-ABS removal was achieved in 32 h. The 84.4% TOC removal was achieved after 94.7% consumption of 4-ABS, and no aromatic intermediates were detected, referring the complete mineralization of 4-ABS by strain W1.
