Résumé
Tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) is a known toxic chemical used in the photolithography process of semiconductor photoelectronic processes. Significant amounts of wastewater containing TMAH are discharged from electronic industries. It is therefore attractive to apply anaerobic treatment to industrial wastewater containing TMAH. In this study, a novel TMAH-degrading methanogenic archaeon was isolated from the granular sludge of a psychrophilic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor treating synthetic wastewater containing TMAH. Although the isolate (strain NY-STAYD) was phylogenetically related to Methanomethylovorans uponensis, it was the only isolated Methanomethylovorans strain capable of TMAH degradation. Strain NY-STAYD was capable of degrading methylamine compounds, similar to the previously isolated Methanomethylovorans spp. While the strain was able to grow at temperatures ranging from 15 to 37°C, the cell yield was higher at lower temperatures. The distribution of archaeal cells affiliated with the genus Methanomethylovorans in the original granular sludge was investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using specific oligonucleotide probe targeting 16S rRNA. The results demonstrated that the TMAH-degrading cells associated with the genus Methanomethylovorans were not intermingled with other microorganisms but rather isolated on the granule's surface as a lone dominant archaeon. KEY POINTS: • A TMAH-degrading methanogenic Methanomethylovorans strain was isolated • This strain was the only known Methanomethylovorans isolate that can degrade TMAH • The highest cell yield of the isolate was obtained at psychrophilic conditions.
