7 Biotransformation Microbially mediated transformation of organic and inorganic contaminants Biochemical processes: Metabolism: toxicant is used for synthesis or energy Cometabolism: not used, but transformed anyway Chemical Effects: Detoxication: Toxic to Non-toxic mineralization Activation: Non-toxic to Toxic David Rechow CEE 370 L#25 13 Bio inetics Michaelis-Menten equation: µ max = maximum growth rate (yr -1 ) X=microbial biomass (#cells/m 3 ) Y= yield coefficient (cells produced per mass toxicant removed, #cells/µg) s = half-saturation constant (µg/m 3 ) b = rate of biotransformation (yr -1 ) If c<< s, then: Refer to lecture #17 X max Y m m m2 s Y X max s X c David Rechow CEE 370 L#25 14 Lecture #25 Dave Rechow 7
