Delftia tsuruhatensis BM90, previously isolated from Tyrrhenian Sea and selected for its ability to degrade a wide array of phenolic compounds, was immobilized in chemically modified macro porous cellulose. The development of bacterial adhesion on the selected carrier was monitored by scanning electron microscopy. Evident colonization started already after 8 h of incubation. After 72 h, almost all the carrier surface was covered by the bacterial cells. Extracellular bacterial structures, such as pili or fimbriae, contributed to carrier colonization and cell attachment. Immobilized cells of D. tsuruhatensis were tested for their ability to biodegrade a pool of 20 phenols in repeated batch process. During the first activation batch (72 h), 90% of phenols degradation was obtained already in 48 h. In the subsequent batches (up to 360 h), same degradation was obtained after 24 h only. By contrast, free cells were slower: to obtain almost same degradation, 48 h were needed. Thus, process productivity, achieved by the immobilized cells, was double than that of free cells. Specific activity was also higher suggesting that the use of immobilized D. tsuruhatensis BM90 could be considered very promising in order to obtain an efficient reusable biocatalyst for long-term treatment of phenols containing effluents.
