Effects of dissolved oxygen on key enzyme activities
Enzyme activity is influenced by many factors, such as temperature, pH, and oxygen conditions; oxygen is one of the most important parameters in biological wastewater treatment. Oxygen conditions influenced microorganism community composition, growth characteristics, and metabolic pathways [ 17 , 18 ].
Bio-augmentation of waste treatment systems with enzymes and/or bacteria has been shown to: Improve treatment system efficiency. Reduce odor. Reduce sludge volume. Improve the clarity of ponds. Reduce COD (chemical oxygen demand) in the effluent. Improve effluent water quality more consistently.
Enzymatic treatment | Civil Engineering - McGill University
Principal investigator James A. Nicell, PhD, PEng (Professor) Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics McGill University Background In an attempt to overcome some of the problems associated with traditional chemical and biological waste treatment systems, recent research has focused on the environmental applications of pure enzymes that have been isolated from their parent organisms.
The biological treatment of a synthetic dairy wastewater containing high levels of oil and grease (200, 600 and 1000 mg/l) was investigated, using two identical UASB reactors. One reactor was fed with wastewater from an upstream enzymatic hydrolysis step and the other with raw wastewater.
Organic Contaminant Biodegradation by Oxidoreductase
Based on this fundamental knowledge, and recent developments in enzyme immobilisation techniques, microbiological enzymic treatment strategies are proposed to formulate a new generation of biological wastewater treatment processes for the biodegradation of environmentally challenging OC compounds.
Studying the regulation of related enzymes’ activity is essential to minimize N2O emissions during wastewater treatment. This paper aims to review the poorly understood related enzymes that most commonly involved in producing and consuming N2O in terms of their nature, structure and catalytic mechanisms.
Application of Microbial Enzymes in Industrial Waste Water
crucial role in wastewater treatment applications. Enzymes can specifically act on and remove recalcitr ant p ollutants by precipitation a nd transformation to o ther pr oducts a nd
Biological methods of wastewater treatment have received much attention in recent years. Their increasing importance is by virtue of the possibility of total oxidation and sanitation of many impurities, including toxic ones, while requiring comparatively low operating cost and simple equipments, through microorganisms or their metabolites
Organic Contaminant Biodegradation by Oxidoreductase
However, high rates of pH/thermal enzyme denaturation and low rates of enzyme retention, recovery, and reusability challenge the contaminant removal efficiency and the economic feasibility of enzymatic wastewater treatment . Therefore, the stabilisation of the enzymes is necessary for practical implementation of enzymic treatment.

Operating the biological activity in Waste Water Treatment
for operating the biological activity in wastewater treatment plants > ApplicAtion notE #3 - novEmbEr 2008 The technique of ATP-metry allows a fast measure of the concentration of the active biomass in water. This method is based on the quantification of the Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP), which is an essential molecule in the microbial life.
The wastewater after primary, secondary biological, and tertiary treatments contains chemical surfactants at a considerable concentration (60 mg/L). In the present investigation, lipolytic micro-organisms that are capable of utilizing wetting agents (vegetable fatliquor) as the substrate were used to produce lipase.
