Batik is one of ethnical cultures of Indonesia. The batik production has spread throughout Indonesia. One of the batik industry areas is located in Jetis, Sidoarjo, Indonesia. This industry has been operating for approximately 350 years without processing its wastewater. The batik wastewater contains several toxic compounds such as high BOD, COD and color pigment. These compounds can be harmful for the environment if discharged directly to water bodies. Phyto-treatment might be a solution to overcome this problem. The use of Scirpus grossus and Iris pseudacorus with variations of waste irrigation system using the intermittent method showed a COD removal up to 89% and BOD removal up to 97%. Mixed culture of S. grossus and I. pseudacorus showed a better removal than its single culture. The highest removal of BOD and COD was obtained in reactor with mixed culture plants under Flood/Drain ratio of 2:1.

The paper deals with an examination of possible application of biodegradation in the decontamination of soil samples from Leos Janacek's Airport in Ostrava. Soils samples were used for laboratory tests of biodegradation taken from oil interceptors. The laboratory biodegradation tests were carried out with a pure bacterial culture of Pseudomonas putida, a pure laboratory culture of Rhodococcus sp., their mixture and a mixture prepared combining their media free of bacteria. The results of the paper imply that for the given purpose, i.e. for biodegradation of airport pollutants, it is most suitable to apply a mixed bacterial culture of Pseudomonas putida and Rhodococcus sp. The results of the paper show that the biodegradation method is applicable for the pollution in question.

Artykuł jest poświęcony badaniom nad możliwością wykorzystania rozkładu biologicznego do oczyszczania próbek gleby pobranych z lotniska im Leosa Janacka w Ostravie. Próbki gleby zanieczyszczone substancjami ropopochodnymi między innymi w czasie tankowania samolotów, zostały przebadane w warunkach laboratoryjnych. Zbadano proces biodegradacji za pomocą czystych kultur bakterii Pseudomonas putida oraz Rhodococcus sp., ich mieszanin oraz medium wolnego od bakterii. Uzyskane wyniki pozwalają na stwierdzenie, że biodegradacja jest dobrą metodą dla oczyszczania gleby z substancji ropopochodnych.

Four bacterial strains capable of growing on nitrotoluenes were incubated in basal salt medium containing either 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) or its alkali hydrolysate (starting pH 12; duration 24 h) as carbon sources. The bacterial strains were identified as Burkholderia cepacia SH-1, Pseudomonas aeruginosa SH-2, Pseudomonas putida MC-I, and Pseudomonas sp. X. Burkholderia cepacia SH-1 was able to grow in medium containing TNT as the sole carbon source and it transformed approximately 80% TNT into metabolic products within six days. Addition of glucose or succinate improved both the growth of cells and TNT uptake. When supplemented with glucose, the Pseudomonas strains achieved significantly higher medium optical density as well as TNT transformation. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa SH-2 cells were most active in transforming TNT. Optical densities of all the cultures were higher after incubation with TNT-hydrolysate when compared to TNT only. In experiments with uniformly labeled 14C-TNT and Burkholderia cepacia SH-1, the distribution of radioactivity was 0.15% in CO2 produced, 4.88% in cell mass, 71.9% in solution, and 23% unaccounted. The same distribution when strain SH-1 was incubated in alkali hydrolysate of TNT, was 0.44% 14CO2, 6.9% in cell mass, 22.5% in aqueous solution, and 70% unaccounted for.

Four microbial strains, isolated from a mixed culture, were used to study biodegradation of 2-nitrotoluene, 3-nitrotoluene, and 4-nitrotoluene individually and in a mixture. The strains were identified as Pseudomonas putida S7, Comamonas testosteroni Pb 50, Rhodococcus sp. Pa 50, and Stenotrophomonas malthophilia K3. The degradation studies were carried out with suspended cells in aqueous media under aerobic conditions and the results were compared with new extensive studies on biodegradation of mononitrotoluenes with a mixed culture isolated from explosives’ contaminated soil from another site. The results showed that (a) the degradation rate of MNTs by the individual strains were of the same order of magnitude as that by the Pardubice mixed culture, (b) the 66 J. Paca, M. Halecky et al. presence of additional N-source positively affected the degradation rate for 3-NT and 4-NT, but adversely affected the degradation rate of 2-NT, (c) no incompletely oxidized dead-end intermediates were found under aerobic conditions, (d) all the cell lines were able to efficiently degrade all the MNTs, even when all were present together, and (e) the degradation rates of individual MNTs in a mixture were slightly lower than when just one NT was present. Substrate concentration affected degradation rates according to classical substrate inhibition.
