Anaerobic chemostats fed on glucose (approximate to 10 g chemical oxygen demand (COD)/L) were used to investigate the effects of toxicity on soluble microbial product (SMP) formation. Addition of the toxic compounds chloroform and chromium increased the net accumulation of SMP, despite reducing the percentage of SMP in the effluent due to the overwhelming production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs). In the reactor spiked with chloroform the normalized accumulation of SMP (SMP/S-o) increased from 2% to 8%, whereas in the reactor spiked with Cr (VI) the SMP/S-o ratio reached as high as 20% after the spike, and in both cases SMP net accumulation was proportional to the concentration of toxicant. After the chloroform and chromium spikes biomass seemed to produce more extra cellular polymeric substances (EPS) suggesting that this might have helped them to cope with the stress. Chromatography results indicate that some of the high MW compounds present in the SMP might have been due to EPS release into the bulk solution, and that other compounds, probably released as a result of cell lysis, were also present. Hydrolysis of EPS did not seem to contribute to SMP accumulation in the presence of toxic compounds, and DNA analysis suggested that cell lysis products was an important contribution to SMP accumulation, in the presence of chromium.
