Wenqiao Ding, Chongli Xu, Mengyi Zhang, Ying Xie, Fei Li, Qiuting Huang

TL;DR
A new oil-degrading Klebsiella pneumoniae strain was isolated from kitchen waste soil and shown to effectively break down oil in wastewater.
Contribution
A novel high-efficiency oil-degrading Klebsiella pneumoniae strain (Y1) was isolated and its performance in treating kitchen wastewater was evaluated.
Findings
Strain Y1 achieved a 48.7% oil degradation rate under optimal conditions (35 °C, pH 7.0, 180 r/min).
In simulated kitchen wastewater, strain Y1 removed 62% of COD within 48 h and 60.7% of oil within 96 h.
Strain Y1 shows potential for practical bioremediation of oily wastewater.
Abstract
In view of the excessive grease content in kitchen wastewater and the limited oil removal efficiency of conventional treatment systems, this study isolated a highly efficient oil-degrading bacterium (strain Y1) from soil beneath a kitchen waste pipeline and investigated its degradation performance. Through morphological observation, biochemical tests, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing, strain Y1 was identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae. The growth characteristics and oil degradation performance revealed the optimal degradation conditions to be 35 °C, pH 7.0, and 180 r/min. Under these conditions, the oil degradation rate reached 48.7%. In a simulated treatment of actual kitchen oil-rich wastewater, strain Y1 achieved the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate of 62% in 48 h (reaching 62.8% at 66 h) and an oil degradation rate of 60.7% in 96 h (slightly increasing to 60.9% at 108 h).
