厌气混合培养中产甲烷菌和硫酸盐还原菌的动力学竞争 Ⅱ.动力学推定的结果及讨论

Kinetic Competition Between Methanogenic and Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in Anaerobic Mixed Cultures Ⅱ. Results and Discussion

根据前文建立的动力学模型及批量实验结果,进行了包括乙酸及氢气利用在内的MPB和SRB的动力学常数的推定。结果显示,以Methanothrix及Methanobacter为种属的乙酸和氢气利用MPB;以Desulfobacter postageix和Desulfovibrior为种属的乙酸和氢气利用SRB分别存在于葡萄糖消化过程中。在反映现实情况的低浓度硫酸根离子条件下,热力学及动力学均占优势的乙酸利用SRB相反完全竞争不过乙酸利用MPB。这是由于对硫酸根离子乙酸利用SRB竞争不过氢气利用SRB的缘故,因为后者(Kg=10.7-13.3 mg/L)具有比前者(Ks=19.5-21.4mg/L)更高的硫酸根离子亲合性。这一结果进一步显示有必要重新评价长久以来一直承担负面角色的SRB的作用。因为如果从有利于厌气过程中甲烷主要产生者-乙酸利用MPB的生长这一角度来看,适量生长的氢气利用SRB能够完全抑止作为对手的乙酸利用SRB的生长以至发挥重大的正面作用。另外,该研究提供的动力学推定方法能简便、快速、准确的推定出微生物菌体浓度和诸动力学常数,对于生物处理的近乎所有过程都具有参考价值。

The estimated kinetic parameters showed that Methanothrix, Methanobacter, Desulfobacter postagei and Desulfovibrio like MPB and SRB were presented during the glucose degradation process. The SRB cannot out-compete MPB for acetate at low concentration of sulfate. This was due to the acetate-utilizing SRB cannot out-compete the hydrogen-utilizing SRB for sulfate, because the latter has a higher (Ks = 10.7 - 13.3 mg/L) affinity than former (19.5 - 21.4 mg/L) for sulfate. It reveals that the hydrogen-utilizing SRB is obviously favorable for acetate-utilizing MPB to out-grew the acetate-utilizing SRB and have been believed to play a critical role in a practical methanogenic process.
