摘要
Baked bean processing wastewater is high in BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) and produces noxious odors when treated in municipal activated sludge systems. The present study describes a process for the assimilation of this wastewater by the mycelium of Aspergillus foetidus NRRL 337. The fungus is capable of rapidly digesting over 80% of the BOD and produces no foul odors. The mycelium has a crude protein content of greater than 50% and is readily harvested by simple filtration. The optimal conditions for the fungal process are as follows: pH, 3.3; temperature, 30°C; incubation time, 24 hr; and aeration rate, 2 mMO2/liter/hr. Copyright © 1979, Wiley Blackwell.
