Fuel-synthesis wastewater treatment and PHA production using purple non-sulfur bacteria: Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations

Purple non-sulphur bacteria are abundant in nature and participate in a wide variety of environmental processes. They are photosynthetic organisms that utilize organic substrates and have the potential for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). This study focuses on the application of these organisms for PHA production during simultaneous treatment of fuel synthesis water, an organic rich byproduct of the Fischer-Tropsch process.

紫色非硫细菌（Purple non-sulphur bacteria）在自然界中广泛存在，参与诸多环境过程。该类生物为利用有机底物的光合微生物，具备合成聚羟基脂肪酸酯（polyhydroxyalkanoates，PHAs）的潜力。本研究聚焦于这类微生物在同步处理燃料合成水过程中用于PHA生产的应用，其中燃料合成水是费托合成（Fischer-Tropsch process）产生的富含有机物副产物。
