Original Abstract

A biodegradation possibility of the organic waste compounds (summarized like chemical oxygen demand - COD) by means of the mixed thermophilic aerobic bacteria culture (sludge of wastewater treatment Bystřice pod Hostýnem) was studied. The whey from Pribina Přibyslav company is the tested waste medium. In this work a batch system was used. The cultivations were practised in the laboratory fermentor BIOSTAT B ( B. Braun Biotech) at 60 ?C. Selected bioengineering characteristics (specific growth rate, biomass productivity, COD elimination and volume ogygen transfer coefficient) were determined persuant to the experimental data. It was achieved 62 % total COD reduction after two main growth phases.
