Five strains, namely <em>Sphingomonas polyaromaticivorans</em>, <em>Pseudomonas putida</em>, <em>Pseudomonas fluorescens</em>, <em>Bacillus cereus</em>, and <em>Bacillus subtilis</em>, were selected for compounding microbial consortium to study its degradation effects on asphalt. The micromorphology, elemental chemical states, micromechanical properties, molecular weight distribution, and functional groups of degraded asphalt were studied using environmental scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, gel permeation chromatography, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that the biodegradation of asphalt by microbial consortium increases the surface roughness of asphalt and reduces surface adhesion. Asphalt is used as the sole carbon source by microbial consortium, resulting in a continuous decrease in the contents of C and N elements, while the content of O element is continuously increased. Simultaneously, under the action of microbial enzymes, C-C/C-H bonds which are combined with molecular oxygen in asphalt are continuously broken and converted to C-O-C/C-O-H bonds. The continuous reductions in methylene index and butadiene index of asphalt, as well as the production of carbonyl functional groups confirm the oxidative degradation of asphalt by microbial consortium. Additionally, with the extension of degradation time, the large molecular substances in asphalt are gradually degraded by microbial consortium, leading to a more concentrated molecular weight distribution. This study is of great importance to understand biodegradation mechanism of asphalt.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13643,"journal":{"name":"International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142328020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results showed that despite the operating parameters of the reactor were set at the optimal values, the ununiform biofilms were developed on the HFMs, exhibiting a variation trend that with increasing distance from the near-gas end, the thickness and biomass of biofilms were decreased accompanied by their morphological change from the compacted to loosened.

The propagation of heterotrophic DNB was more active in the outer layer rather than inner layer of biofilms, ascribed to the abundant presence of PN and PS as well as increased NO₃⁻ availability.

The findings reveal that fluid depth significantly impacts biofilm-corrosion product composite formation, with deeper depths promoting thicker and more heterogeneous biofilm-corrosion product layer compared to shallower depths, where a thinner and more uniform biofilm-corrosion product layer is observed. Moreover, the characteristics of initially attached biofilms was verified as the primary factor affecting subsequent corrosion behavior during prolonged exposure. Corrosion analysis reveals that greater fluid depth leads to increased weight loss (91 ± 13.2 mg/cm²) and deeper pit depths (540 ± 69 μm), surpassing those observed in shallower test media (21 ± 2.3 mg/cm² and 105 ± 17 μm) after 28 days of exposure.
