foam formation

now generally believed that the main reason for the formation of bio-foam is:
under the influence of various factors, resulting in filamentous microorganisms
such as bacteria and actinomycetes of the abnormal growth of filamentous
bacteria is higher than the specific growth rate of floc bacteria, filamentous
bacteria and the large specific surface area, therefore, filamentous bacteria to
obtain substances and oxidation effluent BOD5 BOD5 material aspects than
oxygen needed zoogloea bacteria much more favorable results aeration tank
filamentous bacteria become the dominant species and a large number of valueadded, resulting in the production of bio-foam. These microorganisms were tested
together with a large filamentous or branched, easy to form a network that can
capture sweeping particles and bubbles and float to the surface. Bubble
surrounded by the screen, increasing its surface tension, the bubble is broken, the
more stable foam. In addition, the role of aeration bubbles of air flotation foam
formation is the main motivating factors.
study found that the foam-related biological genus mainly Nocardioform
actinomycetes (actinomycetes) and Microthrix parvicella (filamentous bacteria),
etc., shown in Figure 4, the former mostly in the summer, the latter mostly in the
winter [3]. Linda L.Blackall by measuring Microthrix parvicella other filamentous
fungi such as 16S rDNA sequences of the major causes of biological foam
filamentous bacteria were isolated and identified and classification [4], as shown
in Table 1. Microthrix parvicella is to generate the most important species of
biological foam, its 16S rDNA sequence information confirms Microthrix parvicell
also an actinomycete, by electron microscopy, the cell wall of Gram-positive
bacteria have has the typical surface, showing both single material layer;
Eikelboom Type0092, Eikelboom Type0411 and Eikelboom Type1863 filamentous
bacteria Gram stain was negative, 16S rDNA sequence information indicates that
all three belong to the Flexibacter-Cytophaga-Bacteroides; Eikelboom Type0803 is
a class Proteobacteria, Williams and Unz that based on morphology Learning
Standards difficult to distinguish Microthrix parvicell and Eikelboom Type0803, but
the sequence information indicates that in fact there is no relationship between
the two, Eikelboom Type0803 filamentous bacteria with each of the above are not
very similar.
DBOerther such as the use of low-(poly) nucleotide detection technology, hybrid
antibodies coloring cultivation and other methods of biological foam Gordonia spp.
Etc. filamentous microorganisms were quantitatively analyzed. The results
showed that, Gordonia spp. Such activity and the number of cells increases and
the overall level of activity and the number of microbial community level, and the
formation of foam during the biological, Gordonia spp. Such filamentous
microorganisms their physical properties than cell metabolism active role to be
large [5].
