Role of Rhodobacter sp. Strain PS9, a Purple Non-Sulfur Photosynthetic Bacterium Isolated from an Anaerobic Swine Waste Lagoon, in Odor Remediation

Abstract: Temporal pigmentation changes resulting from the development of a purple color in anaerobic swine waste lagoons were investigated during a 4-year period. The major purple photosynthetic bacterium responsible for these color changes and the corresponding reductions in odor was isolated from nine photosynthetic lagoons. By using morphological, physiological, and phylogenetic characterization methods we identified the predominant photosynthetic bacterium as a new strain of Rhodobacter, designated Rhodobacter sp. … Show more

“…Purple photosynthetic bacteria are a major component of microbial populations found in wastewater treatment facilities exposed to sunlight 17,18 . R. palustris thrives in such environments because it metabolizes structurally diverse compounds found as components of degrading plant and animal wastes.…”

“…The lagoon size is 65.5 m (L) Â 58.8 m (W) with the depth ranging from 2.4 to 5.5 m. The aqueous phase of this lagoon turns purple in the warm weather. The purple color indicates the probable presence of photosynthetic purple bacteria that can consume odoriferous compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and excess volatile fatty acids (Kobayashi et al, 1983;Do et al, 2003). The non-functional study lagoon (Lagoon B) is the initial stage of a two-stage system without solid separation, recycle and solid removal.…”

“…These lagoons depend on both microbial activity and (Barker and Drigger, 1985;Miner et al, 2000). Factors that can adversely affect microbial activity include organic overloading, temperature and pH fluctuations, salt buildup, ammonia accumulation, and the use of disinfectants and antibiotics (Hilpert et al, 1984;Poels et al, 1984;Hansen et al, 1998;Zahn et al, 2001;Do et al, 2003). Veterinary antibiotics are widely used as additives in food or water at CAFOs to prevent and treat animal disease outbreaks due to their prophylactic and therapeutic qualities as well as to promote animal growth (Carlson and Fangman, 2000).…”

“…Thus, the treatment of wastewater using PNSB, termed the photosynthetic sludge process, has been studied and in particular applied to the purification of highly concentrated organic wastewater 7,15,19,21,22,24,26,30) . PNSB strains have been isolated from various wastewater environments including photosynthetic sludge plants and classified as species of the genera Rhodobacter 7,14,17,41) , Rhodocyclus 14,41) , Rhodocista 48) , Rhodopseudomonas 14,22,41) and Rubrivivax 14,41) .…”
