- Abstract
The microorganism diversity in the five compartments of an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) treating nitrobenzene wastewater was investigated. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to test the amounts of archaea and eubacteria in the different compartments. The results showed that the microbial diversity decreased longitudinally along the five compartments. The microbial diversity before acclimation was higher than after. However, the evenness indices in the different compartments were similar. The amounts of eubacteria were higher than the archaea, the amounts of archaea and eubacteria in the reactor before acclimation were greater than after. These results indicated that the microbial diversity and the population in the reactor were greatly influenced by the nitrobenzene. The study provides information on microbial diversity for the ABR treatment of nitrobenzene wastewater.
