Résumé

A microbial consortium degrading the high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HMW PAHs) pyrene, chrysene, benzo[a]pyrene and perylene in a two-liquid-phase reactor was studied. The highest PAH-degrading activity was observed with silicone oil as the water-immiscible phase; 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane, paraffin oil, hexadecane and corn oil were much less, or not efficient in improving PAH degradation by the consortium. Addition of surfactants (Triton X-100, Witconol SN70, Brij 35 and rhamnolipids) or Inipol EAP22 did not promote PAH biodegradation. Rhamnolipids had an inhibitory effect. Addition of salicylate, benzoate, 1- hydroxy-2-naphtoic acid or catechol did not increase the PAH-degrading activity of the consortium, but the addition of low-molecular-weight (LMW) PAHs such as naphthalene and phenanthrene did. In these conditions, the degradation rates were 27mg l-1 d-1 for pyrene, 8.9mg l-1 d-1 for chrysene, 1.8mg l-1 d-1 for benzo[a]pyrene and 0.37mg l-1 d-1 for perylene. Microorganisms from the interface were slightly more effective in degrading PAHs than those from the aqueous phase
