1 Identification & Control of Filamentous Bacteria Toni Glymph, Wastewater Microbiologist ARWA-Lonoke

2 Filamentous Bacteria Sludge Bulking

3 Filamentous Bacteria Sludge Foaming

4 FILAMENTOUS BACTERIA In the activated sludge treatment system, bacteria may occur singly, or in small chains or clumps. Shifts in the activated sludge environment such as changes in ph, dissolved oxygen, nutrients etc. will often cause a change in the behavior of the bacteria.

5 FILAMENTOUS BACTERIA In stead of single cells, small chains or clumps, the bacteria will begin to form longer chains which develop into filamentous bacteria.

6 Filamentous Bacteria Round bacteria will form a chain with other round bacteria, square with square, rectangle with rectangle etc.

7 FILAMENTOUS BACTERIA (oval) (discoid) (round) Cocci (rod-shaped) Bacillus (square) (rectangle)

8 Typical Observation Filament Shape Filament Size Cell shape Cell size Cell Septa Indentations Sheath (present/absent) Branching (true/false) Epiphyte (attached growth) Motility

13 Typical Observation: Cell Septa Cell septa with no indentation Cell septa with indentation Cell septa not clearly seen

14 Typical Observation: Sheath Sheath Individual cells within a sheath

15 Typical Observation: Branching True branching Fungus False branching S. natans

16 Typical Observation: Epiphyte (Attached Growth)

17 Typical Observation: Motility

18 Microscope Requirements Phase contrast Microscope 10X or 20 X objective 40 X objective 100 X (oil immersion lens)

19 Stains Gram Stain Neisser Stain

20 Gram Stain Separates bacteria into two categories Determined by the bacteria cell wall Gram (+) bacteria cell wall retains the purple color Gram ( - ) bacteria cell wall loses the purple color Gram positive bacteria are purple Gram negative bacteria are pink

21 Gram Stain Gram positive Gram negative Polysaccharide Slime Layer Cell Wall Lipopolysaccharide Slime Layer Phospholipid Lipoprotein Cell Wall Cell Membrane Cell Membrane

22 Gram Stain Gram (+) Nocardia sp. Gram (-) Type 1701

23 Gram variable Type 0041 Gram Stain

26 Neisser Stain Neisser (+) Type 0092 Neisser (+) Nostocoida limicola and Neisser (-) Thiothrix

27 Slide Preparation Wet Mount Smear Dried for staining

28 Slide Preparation: Wet Mount A drop of a well mixed representative sample is place on a clean grease-free slide. A clean cover-glass is placed on top. Avoid entrapment of air as much as possible. The size of the drop is critical Use a pipette with a small opening

29 Slide Preparation: Wet Mount Drop Cover glass Slide

30 Slide Preparation: Wet Mount This allows the observer to view the microorganisms live in their environment. With a live sample, measurements can be taken and cell shape and size can be accurately determined.

31 Slide Preparation: Smear Place a drop of sample on a clean, wax-free slide and smear across the slide. Let the slide air dry. DO NOT HEAT FIX!

32 Slide Preparation: Smear Slide

33 Sample Collection For bulking sludge, collect samples from the discharge end of the aeration basin. For foaming sludge, collect a sample of the foam.

34 Filamentous Bacteria Most filamentous bacteria in Activated Sludge are associated with low F/M along with some other factor(s) that uniquely gives them an advantage over the other microorganisms. Discovering and changing what gives them the advantage will help control their dominance.
