Methanogenic activities of sulfide and nitric oxide amended mesophilic, methanogenic culture: Role of nitrososufides complex

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

Sulfide (S2-) and nitric oxide (NO) can be formed in anaerobic digester if nitrate and sulfate were presented in the influent streams. This study noted by 4,5-diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2DA) staining and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) the presence of nitrososulfides (SNO) complex in the S2-+NO-amended methanogenic sludge. Kinetic analysis suggested two-step kinetics involving chemical equilibrium between S2-, NO and SNO as step 1 and the slow conversion from SNO to N2O as step 2. The SNO complex was claimed to have higher inhibition effect than S2- or NO alone on the methangenic activities. Comments were made on the role of SNO complex for the interactions between sulfur, nitrogen and carbon metabolisms in anaerobic digestion. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
