A self-immobilization method for microorganisms was developed based on fungal pellets. Generally, pellets have some problems such as cell leakage, cell loading limitation and low mechanical strength. Therefore, biochar was applied to overcome these disadvantages. Atrazine degradable microorganism Arthrobacter sp. ZXY-2 was immobilized by Aspergillus niger Y3 pellets. After adding biochar with optimal dosage (0.006 g biochar for 0.3 g pellets with ZXY-2), the self-immobilized biomixture (SIB) removed 50 mg /L atrazine rapidly within 1 h, which was 61% higher compared to pellets without biochar. The kinetic adsorption results showed that the biosorption of biochar by pellets followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The ATZ removal ability and reusability of SIB were significantly increased by biochar. The results showed that the addition of biochar could enhance the connection between ZXY-2 and pellets based carrier, and the favorable biodegradation pH of ZXY-2 changed to 6 and 10. Several analyses such as zeta-potential measurements, FTIR, XPS, SEM-EDS, and elemental analyses were performed to evaluate the mechanism of action of SIB. To enhance the ATZ degradation by single strain, Agrobacterium, sp WL-1 was isolated and added. The metabolic pathways and their function complementation were studied. Furthermore, a biomass integration model for wastewater treatment was proposed herein.
