Seasonal sewage data revealed higher bacteriophage concentrations in warmer months. However, removal efficiency remained high (83-98%) across seasons for effluent and sludge treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental microbiology
  • Water treatment technologies

Background:

  • Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and are abundant in sewage.
  • Understanding bacteriophage behavior in wastewater is crucial for public health and treatment efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the seasonal variation of bacteriophages in raw sewage.
  • To assess the removal efficiency of bacteriophages during wastewater treatment processes.

Main Methods:

  • Seasonal monitoring of raw sewage for bacteriophage concentration.
  • Analysis of bacteriophage removal rates in effluent and sludge treatment stages.
  • Characterization of bacteriophage isolates based on plaque size, host range, and heat sensitivity.

Main Results:

  • Raw sewage exhibited higher bacteriophage concentrations during warmer months.
  • Consistent high removal efficiencies were observed: 83-96% for effluent II and 93-98% for sludge II.
  • Four distinct plaque size types (Q1-Q4) were identified, with DNA present in all isolates, showing varied host ranges and heat sensitivities (50-80°C).

Conclusions:

  • Wastewater treatment processes demonstrate robust bacteriophage removal regardless of seasonal fluctuations in raw sewage.
  • Bacteriophage populations in sewage display seasonal variability and diverse characteristics, impacting their removal dynamics.
