Phenol biodegradation was carried out in a batch system by the bacterial strain Cupriavidus metallidurans in the presence of potassium humate that was prepared by alkaline extraction from oxyhumolite. The experiments were focused on the assessment of the humate effect on biodegradation activity of the tested bacterial strain. The achieved results demonstrated that the humate has a positive influence on the biodegradation of phenol and reduces the incubation time necessary for phenol removal. Higher biodegradation rate and more intensive growth were observed during the cultivation in presence of humate in comparison to the cultivation without its addition. Adsorption of the humate on bacterial biomass was observed as well. Subsequently, a phenol biodegradation testing in a continuous-flow system using a biofilm reactor was also carried out. Although the reactor was inoculated by C. metallidurans only, the microbial composition under an aerobic non-aseptic condition during this long-term cultivation changed. The phenol removal efficiency obtained in the biofilm reactor was higher than 92% when phenol concentration in a treated medium was 1200 mg l(-1). (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
