초록

본 연구는 메탄산화균을 분리 배양하여 생물학적 질소 및 인 제거에 응용하는데 있다. 수도권 매립지의 상부 토양으로부터 NMS (nitrate mineral salt solution)배지로 분리 배양된 메탄산화균을 이용하여 영양염 제거 및 성장특성을 분석하였다. 분리 배양된 메탄산화균은 탈질의 탄소원으로서 이용될 수 있는 메탄올, 포름알데히드, 포름산으로 구성된 상당한 양의 유기물(COD 증가)을 생산하였다. 이때 메탄올의 생성속도는 $8\;mg/L{\cdot}hr$로 나타났다. 메탄산화균의 슬러지에 함유되어 있는 질소와 인의 함량을 볼 때 메탄산화균은 탈질에 필요한 탄소원 생성 뿐만 아니라 자체적으로 질소와 인을 성장기질로서 사용하는 것으로 나타났다.

The objectives of this study were to isolate and culture methanotrophs and to apply them for biological removal of nitrogen and phosphorous. Methanotrophs (dominant species: Methylomonas methanica) were isolated from a landfill cover soil, cultured in a NMS medium, and analyzed to reveal their characteristics of growth and nutrient removal. The methanotrophs themselves can produce substantial amount of organic substances(as COD) including methanol, formaldehyde, and formate, as carbon sources required for denitrification. For instance, the production rate for methanol was $8\;mg/L{\cdot}hr$. Moreover, the analysis of nitrogen and phosphorous in the sludge suggested that the methanotrophs assimilate nitrogen and phosphorous as growth substances.
