Abstract
Results of our workgroups have shown that carbon fibers (CFs) are high quality biofilm carriers with well biocompatibility relative to other polymer carriers used in biofilm sewage treatment. In the present study, two kinds of microorganisms, namely, aerobic nitrifier and facultative aerobic denitrifying bacterium, were immobilized on the surface of different CFs, which the effects of specific area, functional groups and wettability on immobilization of these bacteria was studied. Results show that different microorganism require for different surface properties of CFs. Biomass of immobilized aerobic nitrifier increases with increasing specific areas, surface oxygenic functional groups and wettability of CFs. It can be immobilized more facultative aerobic denitrifying bacterium if there are proper specific areas, surface functional oxygenic group and wettability on the surface of CFs
