Abstract

Biological factors (e.g. microorganism activity) in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) play essential roles for degradation and/or removal of organic matters. In this study, to understand the microbial functional roles in WWTP, we tried to isolate and characterize a bacterial strain from activated sludge sample. Strain S16 was isolated from the activated sludge of a municipal WWTP in Daejeon metropolitan city, the Republic of Korea. The cells were a Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, facultative anaerobe, and rod-shaped. Strain S16 grew at a temperature of $15{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ (optimum, $30^{\circ}C$), with 0~9.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1.0~2.0%), and at pH 5.5~9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0~7.5). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain S16 was most closely related to the unique species Miniimonas arenae NBRC $106267^T$ (99.79%, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) of the genus Miniimonas. The cell wall contained alanine, glutamic acid, serine, and ornithine. Although the isolation source of the type strain NBRC $106267^T$ which considered as a marine microorganism is sea sand, that of strain S16 is terrestrial environment. It might raise an ecological question for habitat transition. Therefore, comparative genome analysis will be valuable investigation for shedding light on their potential metabolic traits and genomic streamlining.

폐수 처리 설비에서 생물학적 요인은 유기물 분해 또는 제거에 필수적인 역할을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는, 폐수처리장의 미생물 기능적 역할을 이해하기 위해, 활성 슬러지 샘플로부터 박테리아 균주를 분리하고 그들의 특성 분석을 시도했다. S16 균주는 대한민국 대전광역시의 폐수처리장의 활성슬러지로 부터 분리되었다. 세포들은 그람음성, 비운동성, 통성 혐기성 그리고 막대모양이였다. S16 균주는 $15{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ (최적 $30^{\circ}C$), 0~9.0% (w/v) NaCl (최적 1.0~2.0%), pH 5.5~9.0 (최적 pH 7.0~7.5)에서 성장하였다. 분자계통학적 분석결과, S16은 Miniimonas 속의 고유종인 Miniimonas areae NBRC $106267^T$ (99.79%, 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열 유사성)와 가장 밀접한 것으로 나타났다. 해양 미생물로 여겨지는 표준균주 NBRC $106267^T$의 분리 원은 바다 모래이지만 S16 균주는 육상 환경이다. 이는 서식지 전환에 대한 생태학적 의문을 제기할 수 있다. 따라서 비교 유전체 분석은 잠재적인 대사 특성 및 유전체 간소화를 밝히기 위한 가치있는 연구가 될 것이다.
