Properties of bioflocculant-producing bacteria for high flocculating activity efficiency

Jahira Alias et al.

Summary: A good bioflocculant-producing bacteria (BPB) named Bacillus velezensis JB7 was isolated from water sample collected from river sediment. It demonstrated high flocculating activity of 92.3% towards kaolin suspension and had rod-shaped structures. The effective BPB obtained from this study may serve as an alternative to chemical flocculants in water and wastewater treatment.

Bioflocculants from wastewater: Insights into adsorption affinity, flocculation mechanisms and mixed particle flocculation based on biopolymer size-fractionation

Victor Ajao et al.

Summary: The study found that microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from wastewater exhibit good flocculation performance in single clay systems, but mixed EPS is more effective in dual clay systems. The LMW and MMW fractions of EPS adsorbed to the surface first, while HMW-EPS attached more slowly but with stronger irreversibility.
