RESUMO

Eight strains of bacteria (L1-L8) were isolated from the mud of a decantation lake (A) from the Station of Effluent Treatment (SET) of the S. A. Usina Coruripe Açúcar e Álcool, in the harvest season of 2004/05. Three of these bacteria were considered facultative anaerobes (L3, L7 and L8). The isolates were identified as species of the genus Achromobacter (L1 and L5), Acinetobacter (L2 and L6), Proteus (L3), Flavobacterium (L4), and Serratia (L7 and L8), with different enzymatic activities that are of environmental interest. On the other hand, 19 microorganisms were isolated from the wastewater samples of the same lake and of the sugarcane bagasse stored in that company, it means,8 from the effluent and 11 from the bagasse, being 14 bacteria G+ and G- (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, BC1, BC2, BC3, BC6, BC7 and BC11), and 5 were fungi - 3 yeast (BC4, BC5 and BC9) and 2 moulds (BC8 and BC10). All the isolates were mesophylic. The bacteria from the studied effluent were identified as Klebsiella sp (A1), Corynebacterium sp (A2 and A7), Arthrobacter sp (A3), Streptomyces sp (A4); Staphylococcus sp (A5), Acinetobacter sp (A6); Serratia sp (A8). The isolates from the sugarcane bagasse were species from the genus Bacillus (BC1),Clostridium. (BC2), Acinetobacter (BC3 and BC6); Corynebacterium (BC7) and Lactobacillus (BC11). Because of their high potential in degrading polysaccharides, lipids, proteins, and phenolic compounds such as tannin, the mud bacteria L1 (Achromobacter sp) and L3 (Proteus sp) were screened according to their kinetic of growth and degradation of tannic acid. Although the concentration of tannic acid at 0,8 % still allows the growth of Proteus sp, the concentration of the same substrate at 1% in solid medium inhibited its growth, suggesting that the microorganism do not tolerate high concentrations of this compound. Furthermore, even if Achromobacter sp from the mud had not grown in solid medium containing 0.8-1.0% of tannic acid, it was able to developed very well in medium with gallic acid, and also hydrolysed ester linkages of the tannic acid molecule in liquid medium, releasing gallic acid. The species of Proteus and Achromobacter sp, isolated from the mud from the decantation lake of the studied sugar-alcohol industry (harvest season 2004/05) appear promising for studies of co-metabolism and bioaugmentation for treatment of this type of wastewater containing phenolic compounds and other substances.
