This study investigated the toxicity of five metals on microorganism activity and growth in activated sludge, finding that patterns in the evolution of toxic effects caused by these metals were similar at the beginning of exposure but differences emerged with longer exposure times. Changes in model parameters indicated the influence of metal ions on the mass and energy balance of living cells.
The presence of heavy metals in the environment can lead to ecological and health problems. The evolution of biological systems, such as activated sludge, exposed to heavy metals is still underexplored. Therefore, this study sought to develop a model of microorganism activity and growth in activated sludge and used it to investigate the toxicity of five metals: Cu, Cd, Ni, Zn, and Ag. Patterns in the evolution of the toxic effects caused by these metals were similar at the beginning of exposure. Differences in toxicity between metal ions were noted for longer exposure times. Changes in model parameters indicate the influence of metal ions on the mass and energy balance of living cells. Decreases in new enzyme units and biomass production yields in contaminated activated sludge indicate a shift from anabolic reactions to metal homeostasis and resistance.
