The present study aimed to characterize the adaptive growth and acidogenic fermentation performance of haloalkaliphilic bacteria sourced from field biofilms colonizing seawater-treated bauxite residue. The study found that these bacteria groups were able to adapt to different alkaline pH and saline conditions and produce organic acids, which were correlated to carbohydrate supply. They could also up-regulate their phosphatase activity to mineralize organic phosphorus and adapt to different nutrient conditions.
The present study aimed to characterise the adaptive growth and acidogenic fermentation performance of haloalkaliphilic bacteria sourced from field biofilms colonising seawater-treated bauxite residue, under moderate and extremely alkaline pH conditions (8.5 to 10.8) and coupled saline (EC approximate to 50 mS/cm) conditions. The haloalkaliphilic bacterial communities demonstrated strong adaptiveness to the increasing pH from 8.5 to 10.8. The dominant groups were Exiguobacterales and Bacillales at pH 8.5 and 10, but Lactobacillales and Bacillales at pH 10.8. The exposure to pH 10.8 initially delayed bacterial growth in the first 24 h, but which rapidly recovered to a peak rate at 48 h similar to that in the pH 10 treatment. Correspondingly, lactic acid concentration at pH 10.8 rapidly rose to as high as >2000 mg/L at 48 h. Bacterial growth and organic acid production were positively related to carbo-hydrate supply. Overall, these bacterial groups fermented glucose to produce mainly lactic acid (>80 %) and other acids (such as acetic acid, formic acid, and succinic acid), leading to 0.5-2.0 units of pH reduction, despite the strong buffering capacity in the culture solution. The bacteria could up-regulate their phosphatase activity to mineralise the organic P in the basal nutrient broth, but increasing soluble phosphate-P at a 1:10 of glucose-C was beneficial. The biofilm-sourced bacteria communities contained redundant fermentative haloalkaliphilic groups which were adaptive to strongly alkaline pH and saline conditions.
