摘要BACKGROUNDMost photobioreactors used for wastewater treatment with anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria (APB) are based on suspended cultures because APB have poor biofilm-forming ability. In this study, a photo-rotating biological contactor (PRBC) was applied for the culture of APB biofilm using azo wastewater, with a particular emphasis on the formation of APB biofilm and its relationship to other microorganisms and exopolysaccharides (EPS). RESULTSThe PRBC was successfully used for the cultivation of APB biofilm and in the removal of chemical oxygen demand and color. In situ analysis showed that APB biofilm formation can be divided into two distinct stages: development and differentiation. In the development stage, nonphotosynthetic filamentous microorganisms initially proliferated on a disc surface and promoted the adherence of APB. In the differentiation stage, filamentous microorganisms and their EPS matrices caged APB in the inner layer and stabilized the APB biofilm. During biofilm stratification, the biofilm biomass and APB numbers reached 24.20.63g L-1 and 4.8 +/- 0.6x10(8)CFU (g dry biofilm)(-1), respectively. The dominant APB in the mature biofilm were identified as Rhodopseudomonas, Rhodomicrobium, and Chlorobium. CONCLUSION

APB with poor biofilm-forming ability formed a stable biofilm in the PRBC with the aid of nonphotosynthetic microorganisms. (c) 2014 Society of Chemical Industry
