Résumé

The effectiveness of physical, chemical and biological barriers to the diffusion of genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs) to prevent their release into the environment is currently under scrutiny worldwide because of the associated potential ecological impacts. An industrial discharge of a non-sterilized fermentation broth containing GMM biomass into a conventional municipal wastewater treatment plant would deliver the GMMs into the activated sludge system process (ASSP). The present work aimed to model and evaluate the containment capability of a small ASSP (part of a 20,000 people equivalent municipal plant) in the event of receiving GMM biomass from a medium-small biotechnological plant dedicated to the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (3000 t/year of biopolymer). An actual GMM (Pseudomonas putida KTOY06) was injected into a bench-scale ASSP (ASSP
