Brominated phenols are listed as priority pollutants together with nitrophenol and chlorophenol are the key components of paper pulp wastewater. However, the biodegradation of bromophenol in a mixed substrate system is very scanty. In the present investigation, simultaneous biodegradation kinetics of three substituted phenols 4-bromophenol (4-BP), 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) were investigated using Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6. A 23 full factorial design was applied with varying 4-BP and 4-CP from 75-125 mg/L and 4-NP from 50-100 mg/L. Almost complete degradation of this mixture of substituted phenols was achieved at initial concentration combinations of 125, 125, and 100 mg/L of 4-CP, 4-BP, and 4-NP, respectively, in 68 h. Statistical analysis of the results revealed that, among the three variables, 4-NP had the most prominent influence on the degradation of both 4-CP and 4-BP, while the concentration of 4-CP had a strong negative interaction effect on the biodegradation of 4-NP. Irrespective of the concentration levels of these three substrates, 4-NP was preferentially biodegraded over 4-CP and 4-BP. Furthermore, 4-BP biodegradation rates were found to be higher than those of 4-CP, followed by 4-NP. Besides, the variation of the biomass yield coefficient of the culture was investigated at different initial concentration combinations of these substituted phenols. Although the actinomycetes consumed 4-NP at a faster rate, the biomass yield was very poor. This revealed that the microbial cells were more stressed when grown on 4-NP compared to 4-BP and 4-CP. Overall, this study revealed the potential of A. chlorophenolicus A6 for the degradation of 4-BP in mixed substrate systems |
